Hello guys,
I've just upgraded my pc with the new Intel i7-7700k Kaby Lake, my motherboard is the Maximus VIII Extreme, BIOS 2202, and my previous processor was the i7-6700k, I'm using a Corsair H80i GT water cooler.
The first thing i would like to know is which voltage i need to set in order to configure it correctly, for now i can't upgrade to the newest BIOS version (3007) because my usb keyboard wouldn't work with it and i couldn't configure it (i had to use the usb flashback feature in order to restore the system); I cleared the cmos first and then powered the system, opened the BIOS and used the XMP profile, but i didn't touch any CPU related options.
Secondly, the temperatures: when I had Skylake, in idle i had 28/33 C°, on stress i never saw my temperature up 56/60° C°, now with Kaby Lake i have the same temperature in idle, but on 100% stress i saw a 60/80 C° values, i was quite annoyed about. I used the Artic MX-2 thermal paste, but i think it's not the best, so maybe in the next couple of days i will change it, anyone has experienced this?
In the end, upgrading to the newest BIOS version (not the actual one of course, but a possible future one), which benefits I would have? I read Asus implemented full support for this CPU, translated in?
