Well, if my arctic cooler 360 can cool a 16C/32T TR, it better be able to do 6C/12T coresSo, has a consensus developed regarding a good AIO to use with a delidded 8700k? I’m assuming a 240 or 360 mm radiator would work. I really don’t want to do a custom loop if I can avoid it.
I'm having no issues with my nzxt kraken x61 between 5.0 and 5.1 I need a little to much voltage for 5.2 and 5.3 to be stable though. As long as you are around the 1.3x voltage range an AIO should be completely fine.So, has a consensus developed regarding a good AIO to use with a delidded 8700k?

How did Gigabyte's Aorus X370 Gaming K5 probably cost them some future sales from you? What did they do wrong? This is exactly the board I was considering. What reasons do you have to lean to the Z370 Taichi? Markfw likes the Taichi as well.I’ve had good luck with Gigabyte in the past BUT their Aorus X370 Gaming K5 probably cost them some future sales from me. I’m leaning toward the Z370 Taichi (love my X370 Taichi), the Asrock Z370 Extreme Gaming, or the Asus Maximus Hero.

Q - does the Taichi have a button on the board for start/restart? I will be building withoua case and I kinda need that feature.

As requested... Though I used IBT instead of LinX. They're both just GUIs that spawn Linpack, so they're the same exact thing. I did 4GB ram use. I just set it on no voltage offset, no AVX offset, and 5.3Ghz. It might go higher. Who knows. 81C though, that's kind of warm. Power draw was peaked below where it was on auto 5 Ghz prime95 though.
Ok my Asrock z370 Extreme 4 arrived. The system, with a 8600k, is now up and running, but son I'm disappoint. I must be doing something wrong with the RAM or I have gotten a special treat...again.
My RAM is the G.Skill RipjawsV 16GB DDR4-3200MHz (F4-3200C15D-16GVK) and it only works at 2133, lol.
Granted it's not in the QVL list but does it really matter? I have never used a QVL RAM on my mobos and they all worked fine. Load up the XMP and you are good to go. Why is the same thing so difficult now?
When I select the XMP profile, the system gives a fail to boot error upon posting. If I set the speed to 3200 by hand, the same error appears. If I set the speed to 2666, it boots but it changes the timings to much slower ones, 16-18-18 or something. If I leave everything at auto, it boots at 2133 15-15-16-36 with 1.35V while its jedec info clearly says it should use 1.20V for this profile.
At this point, I think the motherboard isn't reading the ram correctly, but I don't understand why. Aren't these things universal? From within the BIOS however, you can clearly see the correct profiles. It's just that it doesn't know what to do with those.
The motherboard arrived with the 1.00 BIOS and I flashed the latest 1.11 one.
Any ideas?
Here's an interesting datapoint. HardOCP revisited a 7yo SilverStone Olympia 1kW PSU :Thanks Aikouka. Any concerns with it being 8 years old? I've never had one so long, in the past I replaced PSU's because I needed more power. Power requirements have leveled off.
Ok now I have to find myself some good gravy for that hat!
Indeed at A2/B2 the RAM worked at 3200. Wtf? Why on earth A2/B2 would be the primary configuration?
Anyhoo lesson learned. Read the manual first. Asrock buyers, take note.
thanks.
ps Winrar went from 8100 to 10900. xD
Maybe because it offers the best chance of clearance when using low profile coolers and only 2 memory DIMMs?Why on earth A2/B2 would be the primary configuration?
Gonna be honest with you, I thought the exact same thing when I built my 8700k system. I just for the hell of it, was going through the manual, while taking a bit of a break and noticed that ram should be in a2 and b2 if it's just dual channel with 2 sticks. I figured it would have been a1 and b1 but I said oh well and went along with it. I didn't think it actually mattered though, I prefer the looks of a1 and b1 versus a2 and b2, but whatever works, works. Glad you got it figured out though man. Now get to overclocking
