I started a post on the intel forum listing off some intle CPU's I was considering https://hardforum.com/threads/haswell-e-broadwell-e-or-kaby-lake.1926451/ I was initially going to go for the 1800x but I found from the reviews of others it was really a hot chip and it was a weak overclocker at least right now I don't know if that will change over time, anyway as more ppl started reviewing the 1700x and the 1700 the picture has become clearer for at least the 1700 non x, I see this chip hitting 3.8-3.9GHz getting just behind the 4.0GHz max the others are hitting and it is right there with almost half the temps as a 1800x at 4.0GHz.
So sinve I have not go off and bought a system yet as I'm still deciding I would like to know how you guys and gals who have gotten there hands on said CPU's how is you experience with it as a overclocking chip, are you hitting ok clocks at reasonable v-core or are the overclock's I'm seeing not suitable for 24/7 uses. As far as the gaming performance is so far that also kinda turned me off at first until I look at the numbers and since I'm going 1080p gaming at 60fps max I'm probably not going to notice losing 20FPS in the 200+fps range and for me personally I can't really play high intensity multiplayer games the benefit from high refresh rate monitors so FPS over 60 is non consequential to me.
What do you guys think of your Ryzen CPU's I know the memory is having issues reaching proper speeds and the chipset need more time for updates and optimization but I can deal with that, the platform look more then usable in most cases as long as the MOBD is working. With that I would just like to add I'm looking at getting a Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming 5, it is literally the only X370 board I can get all others are sold out and I'm thinking of paring it with some G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB (16GB x 2) for the tighter timings, not sure if this mem will work out of the box might need to get something else.
Also just for context this is the post I made about my upgrade speculations on the intel side, this should explain further why I'm thinking about a Ryzen CPU and don't really want to get a 4core Kaby Lake or deal with the some what confusing Haswell-e/Broadwell-e question.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to your opinions

I have been on my i7 2600K since 2011 I think, can't quite remember anyway she is starting to show her age in modern titles like Hitman and fallout 4 as examples, in order to make said games playable I had to cap there fps to 30 and 50fps respectively, anyway before some one tells me to hit 4.5GHz and wait till something better comes down the pipe line my chip won't get stable clocks past 4.2GHz with HT off, I even tried pushing the v-core to 1.35v for 4.3GHz+ Clock and it was just not at all stable, I have been running a 4.2GHz overclock at 1.25v with HT off using a P8Z68 Deluxe since mid 2012 and it has worked very well. Unfortunately the chip is just not up to task at it once was and it's not like I'm doing 4K gaming the CPU is bottle necking in 1080p gaming and GPU power has nothing to do about it(using a GTX 1070), the facts are modern day CPU physics are getting beyond my CPU capability and it is only going to get more apparent as time goes on so I would like to start looking in to a major system upgrade.
Now I'm thinking of going for a intel build again and holy **** the intel builds have really gone up in price hey but at least they kept that performance at a steady paced
Now about the Kaby Lake, I hear there was high expectations for this chip that fell short of some expectation and I would not really consider this chip except for one fact: 7700k at 5.0GHz now that is a modern day clock speed if you ask me and I would be all for this chip if it was not for the 4core/8thread setup, to me it looks like this chip is going to be great for gaming right now and probably well in to 2018-19 but sooner or later having only 4core/8thread setups are going to be at a disadvantage when higher levels of multi threading will be utilized were already starting to see in right now and if it were not for the 7700k's blistering clock speed I don't think it would really be much of a contender but I can't ignore that sweet 5.0GHz overclock and its much more friendly price point, now I just want to know how you guys feel about the longevity of this CPU, is it like I say only good for a year or 2, or am I wrong and she is as good as my Sandy Bridge when I got her way back when.
Now that I got all my intel options out of the way there is one last contender and that is the AMD 1700 non X, I seen some early overclocking on that CPU and it is running much cooler then the X chips and the same or almost the same clock speeds, I think a 1700 with SMT disabled at 3.9 to 4.0GHz might be the way to go especially as I do want more cores, the big hurdle here is the early adoption issues and there is still some unknowns with this CPU's performance as far as gaming goes, some are saying updates and optimization will make things better and others are saying this is as good as its going to get (and it is pretty dam good considering bulldozer) with that said I'm hoping the Ryzen chips can gain a few more MHz with better BIOS updates and optimization and the fact the 1700 runs much cooler then the others it might even be able to hit higher clocks like 4.3-4.5 but that is just wishful thinking at this point and only time will tell. So what do you guys think please let me know, thanks.
