I will test it for you until next week
have the 8700k and the mate

yes, it's no problem, as long as you can get hold of an 8700k :)

Does anyone with experience want to help me head a 8700k? Greetings

Have taken apart several i7 8700k with the part.Absolutely no problem..So safer than with razor blade or workbench and hammer xD

I was able to get hold of one in the meantime and will head mine directly as soon as I receive the "Mate". Currently, my temps at 4.8 GHz are around 65°C ... Let's see how it looks afterwards.
