I know it has been awhile since I popped back over from [H]ard, but I wanted to point out that I used IC Diamond on my 3770K's die for quite some time and when I removed it I saw no visible damage to the die or the block..I did hit the block with a few passes of 1500 grit wet-sand since it was a...
At that low of a resolution, you *Should* be able to run pretty much anything out there, but even with massive amounts of AA, that low of a resolution is gonna look terrible..I would upgrade my GPU, and then buy a used Q6600 quad core (if your MB supports it)..You can get them used on eBay from...
What are you guy's talking about? I personally run my G. Skill 16GB kit @ 2133 @ 1.65V on a heavily overclocked 3770K @ 4.8Ghz without any issues..I have ran this cpu 24/7 running F@H with ZERO issues for nearly a year now..I know many others that run 1.6~1.65V memory without any issue on SB/IV...
I am not sure if it is the same with BD/PD, but I could not get my 1T rated high end Corsair Dominators to run @ 1T on my old 1055t/890GPA setup..From what I was told at the time, it didn't make any difference to run them @ 2T vs 1T..
His post, and mine, were reguarding his claim of many killed cpus coming from using heatsinks/waterblocks that aren't flat etc. I simply said that I have never killed a cpu, including quite a few bare die mounts, so he is clearly doing something wrong.
I believe most of this is sheer non sense..How do I know? I have lapped EVERY Heastsink, and waterblock I have ever owned. I have never had any problems "killing" a cpu, including running them on bare die cpu's from the days of the AMD T-birds, to using a mobile Core2Duo (which has no IHS) in a...
Since I am running the exact same board with a 3770k @ 4.7Ghz (full water cooling) with 4x4 GB of memory, I fully believe that one of two things is wrong:
1) You either have a bad stick of memory, or the board is not liking all 4 DIMMS populated @ the Auto voltage for the IMC..I would remove 3...
Thanks for the link Ed, I am going to check it out..I always run Prime95 on Large FFTs, since that mode draws the most power, and produces the most heat..I always test IBT first, because it will produce stability errors very quickly if your ram is @ fault..
I've finally gotten a Prime95 Stable o/c @ 4.8Ghz..While I could run 20+passes of IBT using all memory and with the psychical cores locked through task manger, it would fail Prime95 (27.7 with AVX enabled) until I bumped my Vcore up from 1.256V (IBT Extreme Mode stable) to 1.272V...I ran Prime95...
I must be blind, because I dont see any temps in the link..Also, after looking at your link, you are saying that you are stable @ 5Ghz+ on an H100 with reasonable temps under proper stress testing?
I am running 420mm of rad space with one of the most powerful pumps on the market, along with...
Can you provide a screenshot showing that you are stable for at least ten runs of IBT @ Xtreme Mode using all your ram? Or 5+ hours of the latest Prime95 build that uses AVX? How about some pictures of your cooling setup?
While I hate to call anyone a liar, I can easily boot into windows and...
While I wish I could blame it on either the IHS or my waterblock not being perfectly flat, I cannot since I lapped the WB completely flat using up to 2000 grit wetsanding (and checked 100 times with a razor blade!!!, and removed the IHS completely..
All my temps are within a 1-2C range except...
ED, it is funny you mention this, as I was wondering the exact same thing..I noticed it when I stressed my cpu @ 3.7Ghz with all 16GB of ram for 25 passes to just make sure everything was working like it should before overclocking..While the load temps over time were very, very nice, I did...
I am a tool lol..I didn't mean to sound offensive, but when I did read the following quote below, my tired brain read this as turn HT off in the BIOS to get the max temps vs leaving HT on..I actually was told to turn it off by a member over @ [H], so we could compare my temps to his 3570K at the...
4.8Ghz (4 cores only) 63,74,73,72C..
ran 15 passes under Xtreme Mode with all Ram and temps were the same, but I forgot to get a screenshot..I have been able to boot into Windows @ 4.9Ghz, and even run 10 passes under "Standard Mode". but it requires 1.32V, and while 3 of the cores were...
IDC, I just wanted to drop back in and let you know that I ran IBT @ my now stable speed of 4.8Ghz with both HT on and Off..With HT off, the GFlops did indeed come way up..Contrary to your post, the temps did not increase when I turned HT off..Here are some screen shots..
4.8Ghz @ 1.224V temps...
I am indeed using water..I have my IHS removed and my cpu block mounted directly on the die of the 3770K using IC Diamond paste as my TIM..I don't remember what my stock temps were, since I planned on a bleeding edge o/c, I was more concerned with removing the IHS for maximum cooling..
IDC, another guy @ [H] told me the same thing..At the time of these, I was running my ram WAY underclocked @ 1600 11-11-11-2T..I left the thread count on "Auto" and Task Manager showed all 8 threads @ 100% load..:confused:
I reran a 25 pass test under Xtreme Mode using all 16GB last night with...
Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't reported back in a bit, but I was finally able to get my loop rebuilt, and a fresh install of Win7 Pro..I just started overclocking this guy, and I must admit I am blown away by the low temperatures offered by the direct die mounting and the wonderful IC Diamond...
BD,
I personally feel that the removal of the stock retention bracket is the proper way to go..It literally takes about 30 seconds to remove the three screws..
That being said, I offer you a challenge..I am willing to give you a Tuniq Tower 120 HSF, which has 6 heatpipes, but has a "base" in...
I got everything together, but had to remove part of the loop due to a leak in my cpu block..This is the second time this has happened, and it is actually a problem with the way Enzotech designed the block..
If you use their included barbs, everything is fine, since they are the standard G 1/4...
Never fear, CC is here!..After dealing with some real life health issues that love to get in the way every time I attempt something, I have finally got in the much anticipated IC Diamond, along with a Kill Coil for my loop! I hope to have everything together tonight to get it leak tested/bled...
BD, thanks for the info..I am not using the IHS, my waterblock is mounted directly to the die of my 3770K..That being said, since you stated it is indeed a thick paste, I am going to order some when I get paid on the 3rd..I will report back once I have some and will do whatever testing vs the...
IDC, those are some great places to eat..One of my newer favorites is De Lazy Lizard..They have fillet mignon cheese-steak that is out of this world! Truly the best I have ever had!
I have been thinking about the issue I mentioned being concerned about (the IC Diamond dripping down onto my...
Thanks for the welcome! How did you enjoy your vacation? You picked a good time to leave..It has been raining cats and dogs for the last 24 hrs! It is currently raining so hard I can hear it bouncing off my back patio..
The MX-2 is more of a liquid gel then a putty..I have my loop torn down...
I have used MX-2 since it first came out, from the Athlon 64 days to current..It is easy to apply, and I have never had to reapply it unless I took a build apart...
That being said, I would be happy to purchase some of this IC Diamond as long as you guys don't think it will "drip out" from...
..
I happen to live right outside Ocean City, MD! I am a long time member @ [H]ardforum, and have been following this thread since you first started it..
I will have some data on my 3770K, which has been delidded since I got it back in June..
I have a pure copper WB (Enzotech Sapphire, one of...
