No, not really anything different, but i did put some small squares of paper on the backplate for the H100i because i noticed that there was a small gap, so i thought adding some paper on the back would give a bit extra pressure... But everything else i did was pretty much the same, i just was...
Yeh, well that was the last of my thermalright chill factor 3 and i suspect its only a temp fix - so i will have to buy something better with higher viscosity at higher temps, like liquid metal ultra.
Yeah, i noticed that when i first tried to clamp it after re-delidding, and had to hold the IHS down while clamping to stop it moving.
I will have to get better/more appropriate TIM to put between the die and IHS... like Liquid Metal Ultra, to stop any pump out under heat.
Thanks for the link and info. Man... why did Intel have to mess up so badly in the first place that people even felt they had no choice but to delid... it just creates more problems than its worth. Ah well.
Even if this was the case, which i doubt - i dont think that would happen in less than 24hrs... I havnt even moved the PC or even bumped it.
I dont get it - doesnt make sense, less than 24hrs pass and temps go up by 10C, even though i havnt changed a thing.
Ok, this is wiered...
Yesterday my temps at 4.5Ghz @ 1.21v never went above 75C in Prime... Now today i run the test again - havnt changed anything, and now my temps are up 10C to 85C... What is going on????:confused:
Thanks for the link.
Yeh, .001 is the lowest i have been able to change it - not sure why it says .003, somewhat confusing, but i have noticed that if an OC is 'almost' stable in prime, if i then up the voltage by .001 that is sometimes enough to stop me getting errors, so it seems that an...
Not actualy sure if it supports so small an increment, but it allows me to enter the value manualy and sticks to it - except monitoring programs show that it is running at a higher voltage than what i have set.
I DO like adventures... maybe thats why i play Skyrim so much :P
By thermal wall, i suspect you mean when i get close to the TjMax of 100c when the CPU starts to throttle. I think i could probably push 4.6Ghz and stay under 90... but i'll cross that bridge if and when i come to it :)
Thanks for the info... but does altering the ring bus help with OCing?
Btw, im at 4.5Ghz, although it has taken 1.21v to get there, max CPU temp was 76C.
Well im aiming for 4.5Ghz... and ive been doing some reading that suggests that because my RAM is 2400Mhz, that it can effect how high a clock (i almost missed the 'L' out then, haha :) ) i can get on the CPU.
wasnt aware that Z97 runs cooler... ah well, i think my Z87 is good enough.
Im aiming for as low a voltage as i can get, so im increasing by .002v each time, kinda time consuming but worth it for lower temps :)
I just changed the title, thanks for telling me how.
Ive seen something about a ring bus in the bios, but havnt changed it because i didnt know what it was for... is that important for overclocking?
Btw... do you know how to alter the Title? Ive looked but cant see anything - wanted to put [SOLVED] at the end.
Im currently up to 4.4Ghz - but hard to get it stable, im already upto 1.151v and im still getting errors, anyone know if im supposed to increase the cache speed along with the processor speed?
Well i can bump up/down the voltage by say .002v but the actual displayed vcore voltage in HWMonitor wont change - it only seems to change if i add more than .002v at a time. Eg, so i had 1.13v, but the displayed vcore was 1.152v - 1.13v was not stable and prime gave an error on one of the cores...
Yeh i know, but i just dont feel like i am in complete control of the voltage when the bios is obviously sort-of ignoring my manualy entered value... But yeah 1.3v sounds like it would run HOT, even with my now nice de-lidded temps...
Yeah it all worked out nicely in the end.
I was thinking of getting some liquid metal TIM, so you recommend the stuff from Coollaboratories, good to know and thanks for the tip. But like you said - i dont really need it now, but the option is always there i guess.
I am currently upto 4.3Ghz at...
Yeh my thoughts exactly - if you dont get an error running a stress test for that length of time, then it seems unlikely you will have issues running less demanding things.
I dont have corsair link running in the background - i just set it then forget it :) Although maybe thats why the LED...
Ah, so thats what the LLC does - didnt know that.
Personaly i would rather stress test and know that i have a reasonably stable OC than be playing game or something, then get a sudden BSOD... i dont actualy test for very long - i figure that if i am going to get an error or BSOD, then i will...
Funny: i was just thinking the same thing while stress testing - thinking 'look at all those watts of power being wasted just so i can see if its stable' :)
Ah, could be my mobo then - im running a Z87 chipset...
I just went straight to Manual, didnt bother with the offset. I also just bump up...
I updated the BIOS too but still getting the slight voltage bump even though i have it set to manual... I have so far found that 4.0Ghz is stable at 1.078v.
Ah, so its AVX causing the bump...
Seems strange that you would fail Prime by disabling HT.... would have thought it would be more likely to fail with it enabled, oh well. Good to here you have a stable OC.
No, HT is/was enabled when i got those temps - im not gonna cheat, haha ;)
All normal CPU settings are/were enabled in the bios, including HT and Turbo. Only thing i left disabled was Multicore Enhancement as that auto overclocked the voltage cores too high, although it also gave me better idle...
Sure looks like it. :)
Although that post was for the benefit of Kenmitch, i said i would report back with my results once i had tried his settings.
Maybe you were hinting that because my issue is resolved i shouldnt keep bumping up the thread... and i will stop when people have nothing else...
Ok, ive been running Prime at 4Ghz, and although i set the voltage to 1.09v, it seems the BIOS decided it didnt like that and bumped it up to 1.104V (at least thats what HWMonitor reports it as), so now for the temps:
Max CPU temp at the above clock and voltage was 60C
Max Core temp was 61C...
Your temps look good enough, i wouldnt bother risking delidding unless you had temps that were as bad as i had.
I think temps may get slightly better over time as the paste spreads out more and thins out giving better contact with the lid, afterall the paste is just there to fill any micro...
Tbh, i didnt even think about taking pictures - i was just glad that i got it done and that everything seemed to go ok.
I used Thermalright Chill Factor III thermal paste. Hopefuly that is good enough, i didnt put a lot on, just about 1 and a half long grains of rice in the center of the die, i...
Thanks, i didnt feel comfortable doing that at all, was actualy mildly shaking, cause i was worried incase i damaged anything.
Yeah, good temps - but you have to bare in mind that i am running at stock for the moment - and slightly undervolted too so.... yeh. But still, im glad i found the...
