Thanks Mike, I'll see what I can max it at with this motherboard tomorrow.
But my preferred day to day will still be 47.GHz as then I can keep the fans down.

Fixed, both the signature and my system specs.
Thanks for the reminder Mike

It looks like I may have gotten lucky ordering and getting my CPU: Intel Cutting Retail Processor Supply for Holiday 2018 | TechPowerUp

This could mean DIY favorites such as the Core i5-8400, the i5-8600K, i5-9600K, or even Core i7 models such as the i7-8700K, i7-9700K, and the flagship i9-9900K could be severely in short supply, or heavily marked up wherever available

Oh dammit Mike, I need to change my Signature pic too!

I'm soldered, not delidded now

How about my Thermal Grizzly's

Matching wallpaper I made a while ago too:

It's good stuff.
It never cures, and is nice and gooey.
One just needs to put it in a cup of warm water before applying(to thin it a little) so it doesn't have too thick a layer(if pre-spreading like I do).

Just checked...got two of them
