Best price for this product, will buy more!

Apparently I was lucky with the distribution of the thermal interface under the lid, but this is a lottery! Its pros: Feedback about 8700k. At a manually set voltage of 1.25v at a frequency of 4800 MHz for all cores in OCCT, after 10 minutes the maximum temperature of the cores stopped at around 70 degrees . without scalping. In linX 0.7.0 at this voltage, it is stable only at 4700 MHz for all cores, the temperature is 75 degrees after 15 minutes of warming up. Top cover classic arctic mx-2 Different cons: This is despite the fact that in the automatic turbo boost mode out of the box, the processor at 4.3 GHz for all cores operates at a voltage of 1.27 V, which is clearly too high, plus regular voltage surges from 0.7 to 1.27 with an increase in frequency, which is also not healthy. I recommend that those who do not indulge in overclocking still manually lower the voltage in the BIOS, thereby reducing the power consumption of the system and removing unnecessary jumps
