I'm quickly getting to the point where I'm just going to re-build my computer. I've been tracking down (part swapping) to find this elusive problem. It's at the point where it's the RAM or it's the Motherboard.
If you're curious about the problem, it's probably less than a dozen posts back in my history, but I'm done screwing around. I just want it fixed.
I've replaced the GPU (w/ a 1070) and the SSD. If I'm going to tear apart the computer to replace the motherboard and RAM, I'm just gonna buy a cpu too, and be done with it. I'll have a mostly new computer and at least this problem will be gone. I'll sell my old GPU and SSD, since I'm now sure those were fine.
So here's the question:
We recommend on this board (and I agree) that there's no reason to upgrade to Kaby Lake from the last couple generations. My question is the flip-side. Is there any reason NOT to if you're going to be building a computer anyway?
How are things stacking up with the processor? Anyone heard anything? Are they overclocking well? Do they seem to be holding up pretty well? I know they haven't been out long enough... but how is the silicone lottery shaking out? Same as other generations? I imagine you can tell a bit about the quality from that.
If you're interested mine is a z87 and 4670K, but that's kind of moot since the question is not "should I upgrade".
