Haswell overclocking discussion.

[BallaTheFeared]

My power draw is 205w @ the wall...

My Dark Knight is getting worked hard, and my readout isn't coming back the same but it's not giving me an error in the results... Like it does at 1.15v, however even going up to 1.2v and using 1600 on the mem it reacts the same way. I could try stock but it's not a pressing matter.

We could probably start a CPU 200 GFLOP thread and have a very easy member list to manage :thumbsup:

The temp reductions were much more than I'd expected. As much as -34C!!

Allowing for the increase in ambients the changes across the 4 most stressy tests were -36C, -35C, -32C, -32C. And all three of the Cinebench, Excelv1 and Excelv2 benchmarks had improved scores (on the first run of each).

So delidding of Haswell, and application of CLP - even of an IHS which has been quite well put on by Intel with a very thin layer of original TIM - is still worthwhile.

John you didn't even lap the lid or heat sink did you?

No, did not lap either.
