The proper Intel i7-8700.cpu-chip, a liquid-cooler, and someone willing to do the work for you.

For the record because it still rankles with me, the "fully upgradeable" R7 has its BIOS locked. The board will do it, but the I7-8700K CPU is the limit for the R7. You cant upgrade to a i7-9700 because of the BIOS.

On the I7-8700K will I have the option In CC to have OC controls? With a K pro

@Iain K Mackay
I have the Alienware R7 with 8700k, does it mean I have to stick with the cpu and no more upgrades options?!
