1.325v for a stable 4.6 all core. Temps peak around 80c even though I'm running a custom loop with a 480mm rad that is exclusively used to cool the CPU. I didn't have too much time to tinker with it yesterday but I may eventually just run this stock due to the high boost clocks. 3-4 cores were...
5950x came in today and so far very impressed. Looks like 4.6 all core is about the max I can do without having to bump the voltages really high. 11514 is the max I've hit so far running at 4.6 and 3600 CL16 memory
My 5950x is arriving this Sunday. Really stoked to see what this chip is capable off. Going by today's launch I can only imagine how difficult it might be to get a 6900xt. Hoping I get lucky then as well 🙂
I managed to get a 5950x from AMD direct. It was very dicey but maybe I got lucky. I had both Newegg and AMD open and Newegg instasold in under a second :eek:. Pretty hyped right now. Just need a 6900xt and should be good upgrade wise.
My nearest microcenter is in Houston which is a 3hr drive for me so I have to play the refreshing game. I would have definitely camped outside microcenter if I lived nearby :)
Pretty much the same as me. Last time I had an all red system was during the 9800 Pro days. I recently picked up a LG CX48 and my aging 1080Ti struggles at 4k.
I'm hoping I can get both the 5950X and 6900XT on launch day.
I got mine on launch day at MSRP. It was definitely one hell of a purchase. Not impressed with the current prices so it looks like I might be playing the waiting game until Big Navi or just waiting it out another generation which is usually unprecedented for me
I have the CH VIII Hero and my 3900x is OCed all core to 4.5 at 1.325V. The board is amazing with massive vrms that could easily support a high OC on the 3950x if needed. The board is pricey but worth it if you have a custom loop which I do.
So what if a faster card releases? The 1080ti is not going to be obsolete anytime soon. This waiting game is a pointless endeavor especially when there is no concrete evidence that they are going to release it in September. What if September comes around and there is still no sign of new cards...
Don't see the point in waiting unless you have a known launch date. Just get whatever is within your budget and don't look back. Even if the 1180 released in 4 months and is a little faster it's not like your 1080ti would become obsolete. I've had the Ti since launch day and it's an amazing card!
Hardwaremax.net posted a review of the Heatkiller TR4 nickel block. Comfortably took first spot. The EK performs terribly according to their review.

I'm perfectly happy with my 1080 Ti so far. Not really bothered about the Titan V especially at 3k. I will likely upgrade to the 2080 unless it's just a few % faster for $700.
And that is why I stopped at 4.1ghz. Not worth the hassle even though I have the cooling capacity. I'm hoping ryzen+ clocks better. A 2950x at 4.5+ with some IPC gains would be a gem indeed.
You can get it to pass prime95 at 4.2? What kind of voltages? If so, you're definitely in the minority. I guess I could boot it at 4.3 and beyond but stress testing at those frequencies is a different story.
I can run it at 4.1ghz and get around 63C at 1.381V. I am unable to get a stable overclock past that as it requires voltages greater than 1.45V. Don't see the point in pushing it past that just for an additional 100mhz.
I have a 480mm 85mm thick radiator in push pull configuration with just the...
I finally got around to installing the heatkiller block today. I know a few people were waiting for this but I went on vacation for 3 weeks so it had to take a back seat.
Here are some shots of the EK and the heatkiller block. My load temps have dropped anywhere between 15-20C. Prime95 is...
Yeah, I was a little surprised at the orientation as well. They are still waiting to get a photographer to update their website. Really curious to see what kind of temp drops I see with this.
My heatkiller TR copper block came in today and this block is the heaviest block I have ever got. 2.2lbs to be exact according to the heatkiller rep. It's just ridiculous!! Some pics and a pic next to my mouse just to put things into context.
Are you asking for recommendations on the other components for a custom loop? Ek is fine for everything else. It's more of an aethestic decision when choosing other components. Stick to Ek, hardware labs or Alphacool radiators. Heatkiller does make some awesome GPU blocks as well if you ever...
I have the EK block and it's garbage. It's the worst performing waterblock for TR. I just got it because there was nothing else out there when I got TR. They basically just slapped their regular CPU block on a bigger cold plate. My heatkiller copper block is arriving on Monday and that thing is...
I read that overclock.net as well haha. I used one hand as a protective shield over the socket while inserting the CPU into the lid. Just take your time and you should be fine :)
Just remember to tighten all the screws just a little until they catch, before torquing them down to spec. If you...
Heatkiller has finally finished their TR waterblock. Was well worth the wait, easily the best block on the market. Full copper and fin coverage across the entire IHS. Going to have to replace my EK block with this monster.

Agreed. I game alot on it and even with a lot of background tasks running, FPS don't drop at all. When gaming I'm usually streaming using OBS, have 2 VMs running and Plex transcoding. Really love the computational power of this chip.
Been playing Shadow of war and noticed that gaming mode vs creators mode makes a HUGE difference in FPS in this game. In creators, my average FPS was around 75 and it jumped to 105 when I switched to gaming. It's the first game I've noticed such a massive difference in FPS.
I generally keep it...
You need 1.375V for 4? I thought you said you only required 1.2V in the other thread. I'm at 1.381V for 4.1.
Also, my backplate is raised a little more than yours.
