TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

SO the more expensive one just has more copper?

Binge · Mar 7, 2009

The more expensive one IS copper. The less expensive one is copper/Delrin :slap:

Famous Hobo · Mar 7, 2009

Ah. Think I may see a 2-3c degree drop over the copper/delrin if I go with the other? I'm a newb when it comes to WC.

Binge · Mar 7, 2009

This has been discussed earlier. There is a .3C difference between the two blocks.

Chicken Patty · Mar 7, 2009

so binge, how was your loop before dude?

Famous Hobo · Mar 7, 2009

I think i'm going to get the less expensive one then. Seems a world better than the Fusion and GTZ.

Chicken Patty · Mar 7, 2009

guys, how would the HK compare to the dtek, I see that binge still has un even temps per core, while FIT had even temps with the dtek.

Famous Hobo · Mar 7, 2009

I think that depends on the processor itself right?

I was referring to the i7 in particular. The Die is really big so the GTz for example does not cover the whole die, resulting in hotter/cooler cores.

Binge · Mar 7, 2009

I don't agree that's how it works, but everyone's entitled to their opinions.

what are you referring to binge, give us your opinion, i'm willing to listen

Chicken Patty · Mar 7, 2009

let me ask a questions.

Now that we have some knowledge and have tested some different brands of CPU blocks, what CPU block you'll reccommend? I got a few spare bucks and I am looking to probably replace my GTz.

I'm very happy with my Dtek Fusion V2, and Petras has it on sale right now.

Just in case that money is burning a hole. :laugh:

i've seen great results with this block. Wonder how it does on the i7 against the heat killer that Binge purchased???

Binge · Mar 7, 2009

I've still got to tweak my loop. There are some things I'm just not satisfied with. As for my opinions... surface area matters but it doesn't matter when the Die is soldered to the IHS. In fact the heat will spread in the IHS before even leaving to the block.

mind sharing buddy

Binge · Mar 7, 2009

Well for one I have the pump going into my CPU block, and I don't have a backplate for this block and so I believe my weight is not distributed evenly enough.

is the backplate out yet?

Cold Storm · Mar 7, 2009

Binge, I know you have the skill to make your own backplate if it's not out!!!

or how about make "US"

BINGE!!! $7 hurry up dude and get it!!!

Binge · Mar 7, 2009

I saw that yesterday

I'll order it when I get around to it. Fixed though.

Res>Pump>Rad>CPU>Res

Temps drop a lot faster from under load. The uneven temps are the placement of the cores in the i7. You're going to get them no matter the block. Core 1 & 3 will always be higher than 2 & 4.

SystemViper · Mar 7, 2009

what do you think about putting the pump right before the cpu block, i like the added flow thru the block, I feel you gain a few degres because of the added pressure...

Binge · Mar 7, 2009

Then again the water has more thermal mass already in it because of the pump's heat, so you lose what little you would gain. It might make a difference in a really restrictive loop. Single loop with one block... you'd see no difference.
