i7-8086K

You will need a bios mod. But GIGABYTE boards are amongst the easiest to modify in my experience, one thing I like about them.
Well that sounds awesome then, However there's no predone modded bioses for this board, so it's not going to be too straight forward, I'll definitely take a shot if I can score a deal on a 8700k.
 
Shoot me a pm if going that route.
DM me what your selling and the price, I'm based in the UK btw.
I'm holding out though before I pull the trigger to get one that's priced well, that is, if my friend doesn't give me his if he decides not to upgrade (he's considering a 9900k)

Oh, not really selling. But I am a bios modder. Would offer assistance there.

Awesome! I have 0 experience in BIOS modding so that would be a great help to me, I left you a PM so I remember to contact you once I've got a 8700k for my z270x gaming 7 board.
 
Nope, I have a 7740x @ 5.0 delidded, a 6600k @ 4.5 and tons of other fm2 / am3+ / tons of older cpus, but no 8700ks here, I had sold my x58 system, but I had spent the cash on a clevo x7200 instead of a 8700k lol.

I just remembered what we talked last time via PM
 
As i said in one of my post the ASUS ROG Maximus XI Extreme Gaming is coming Home to pair it with the 8086K

Very nice there @Knoxx29 :) Look forward to seeing some in the flesh pics :)
 
:confused:
Am lost, am i missing something?

Win10 is auto-installing software from the bios these days. Fresh install of Win10, and there's already vendor bloatware before you can do anything. iirc, ASUS is on the shortlist of motherboards doing that.

I only found this usually on pre-built systems not build-a-system (no not talking about build-a-bear :roll:)

Something to be worried about it?
 
Well, IMO it always sucks when something installs what I don't want to install.

Well, that's just in case you do a clean install of windows but it doesn't have to be if you just install Windows from a System Image.
