The script is broken by now with new GCC and newer kernels and needs to be patched.
I’ve since forgotten what the fix was.
The script seems to download a gcc - 7.1.0. Furthermore, when testing the CPU the same version of Ubuntu the author used (17.04) should be downloaded. Thus, I think it is still in working condition and as posted above I used roughly three weeks ago…
I just had a chat with Amazon’s support and I’ll get a complete refund. Therefore, I’ll go ahead and purchase a 2700X

Think about that carefully, the X parts have the stupid temp offset.
If you want to control stuff yourself that can get in the way.
They reported about 20°C more, didn’t they?
Yeah, I think that was the exact number actually.
Do you OC manually? And how does your cooling setup look like?

I did not overclock my 1700X, but I undervolted it without any problems.
Currently I’m using the be quiet! Silent Loop 280. With this AIO my CPU doesn’t go above 35° while gaming. I’ve stress-tested it with prime95, but I forgot the temperature it hit.
But due to an obnoxious pump noise I’m refunding this AIO as well and I got a NXZT Kraken 62 instead.
Even though I like overclocking, right now I’m much more into undervolting since I have no need for the extra performance overclocking offers. That being said, I might change my opinion in a couple of years. Overclocking made Witcher 3 playable on my 2500k
With that cooling solution and no urge to overclock right away, go X!

Ok thx 
I know it’s an overkill, but I like cool PC components

Just received my 2700X
I’ll probably undervolt it in the coming days, but I should create a new thread for this I suppose
Out of interest, which board/chipset are you running it on ?
My 1800x doesnt appear to have a temp offset. It appears to hit around 20c on idle and 50 on load.
I have the ASRock X370 Taichi
