on the overclocking page you said "this gigabyte board" isn't it suppose to be MSI?

FWIW I recently bought a 7820x and a MSI x299 SLI Plus board. I overclocked it to 4.8Ghz@1.25v and max temps under P95 Blend are 64c. SmallFFT makes it go up to ~85c. In gaming I've yet to go past 60c. That being said I am on a custom loop with a EK Supremacy. I think I might delid it at some point in the future -- but overall I'm pretty happy with the chip.

Why do nobody review the 7800x? And very few 7820x reviews out there. Need to know thermals and overclock on none golden chipps (i never get lucky in the lottery)

Intel doesn't seed these. The articles out there simply lock cores in the BIOS, insert roughly similar frequencies and call it a review. I should get my hands on a Core i7-7740X soon though.

If that's the case it is a lot cooler than the 7900x, guessing a good AIO would get very similar performance in terms of the temps. You got any photos you can share for proof reasons? the 7820x has interested me for awhile now, was just worried about the temps i've been hearing about

I like how this board has the full 7 PCIe slots, so I could continue running tri-SLI in slots 1, 3 and 7 like I currently do.

love how you try overclocking in every single review with a good AIO watercooler and basically fail to achieve anything with this new X299 socket. It always hits 100c on every single board! What a useless socket to buy.

It's a little bit warmer in my room today: http://i.imgur.com/DDCUpxg.jpg But yeah, 7820x isn't that bad. In gaming it's like 6-8 degrees lower on average than those numbers. Like in the 3D Mark combo test, if I loop it 10 times, the highest temps I see are 58-60 - and that test pegs the CPU a fair amount for a game. I'm pretty sure I could get this chip to 5Ghz pretty easily honestly - I just don't know if I care to.
