Hello everyone!
I finally managed to get my hands on an 8700T for a new office computer, and I'm shopping for a motherboard. I don't need many bells-and-whistles, and the H310 chipset seems adequate at first glance. However, I'm concerned about the ability of the 8700T to reach its maximum all-core turbo frequency on an H310 motherboard. This chipset seems to be geared toward budget motherboards (with presumably cheaper VRM components), and I've read that the 8700T can draw up to 120W under full load despite its 35W TDP.
Does anyone here have experience running the 8700T (or maybe even the 8700) on an H310 motherboard? Does it limit your CPU at all?
