New Core i7 2600K rig - Now @5Ghz, Updated in first post :)

[[Ion]]

You and your new SB chip should really come join us for WCG. Power usage is minimal, and performance is remarkable. Check out the link in my sig

Yeah...I thought the same thing. WAY too much TIM. Just need one single drop in the center and doesn't need to be brushed out at all. Heatsink does that by itself when it gets pressed down tightly.

Dude, those are the manufaturer's instructions, the syringe is metered and I used 2 ml on both the proc, and the water block, and this TIM is supposed to be spread with a brush, they even include the tiny brushes with their kit have you ever worked with this particular TIM?

Here's a link to their website, they even have a video that shows you how to spread the TIM:

The instructions that come with the kit tell you to add it to both the proc and the cooler, check their site, it's full of photos and videos.

Thanks for the invitation, will check it as soon as I get back home

Awaiting more benchmarks & pics. It's too bad that i am a conventional old school overclocker that usually buys the cheap part to make it perform par up to the higher end's stock performance or i would be all over a 2600k right now.

That would be awesome. At ~4.4ghz your i7 should do about the same PPD as ~12 of my Pentium Dual Cores

Doesn't the H50 block already have paste on it though? Every one I've ever seen new out of the box does. I can't tell from your photo of it. If you put that TIM on top of that paste, all that stuff is gonna end up serving as an insulator rather than a conductor, and that would be a bad thing. Hopefully your CPU temps will be good. If not, I would remove both TIMs and start again.

Yes, the H70 comes with Shin Etsu TIM pre-applied to it, I was, however, using this cooler on my previous build as you can see in one of my pictures, so I cleaned all the previous TIM from it before applying the new TIM.

Shin Etsu is a very good TIM, better than AS5, but the Coolaboratory Liquid Ultra us even better than it Oh, and as I mentioned before, the CPU temps are fine, right now it's idling at 21~24 degrees, and I'm yet to see it go over 45 degrees

Look at the size of the cooler! The days of humongous coolers are over with SB I guess Check the comparison with a Zalman PNPS9700:

That is pretty much the standard cooler since the late 775 days...

Whoa! It's amazing the performance you can get from these processors!

Oh yes. Makes my Lynnfield i7 seem dated all of a sudden

LOL! Yeah it's been a pretty slow day at the office, I think i've only seen 3 patients so far, and I've been checking the thread while i document the charts man, it's really hard to use copy and paste and posts links from my phone

Ur a doctor? sweet!

He might be a Proctologist tho...

LOL you could say I'm the exact opposite to a Proctologist I'll give you a clue, I'm not a urologist either, and if you've ever seen the Hangover, you may have learned that you still have to call 911 if you have a medical emergency even if I'm around

 

[DannibusX]

Obgyn!

Dentist?

How is the H70 compared to the 50-60,Also does the UD7 have 16x 16x crossfire support?

 

[15th Warlock]

How is the H70 compared to the 50-60,Also does the UD7 have 16x 16x crossfire support?

The H70 has a radiator that's twice as big as the one on the H50, the waterblock-pump is half the size of the H50's and you have a dual fan push and pull setup as opposed to a single fan on the H50, dunno if you can add a second fan to the H50 though. All this is supposed to result in an average of 11 degrees lower temperatures on the H70.

Yes, Crossfire is supported at 16x16x in a dual card setup and 16x8x8x for three cards.

Dentist?

Bingo!

 

[[Ion]]

Aha!
You can add a 2nd fan to the H50, I have mine running in push/pull on my i7 860. ~75c temps @ 3.83ghz/1.29v in a ~78F room.

 

[PaulieG]

OK dentist guy, We really need to see some benches asap.

 

[overclocking101]

yeah man, crank that ram wayyyyy up and that proc to 4.7ghz and run some things!! 3dmark11 vantage, etc

 

[hat]

I'll be happy to see some results coming from an average enthusiast rather than a reviewer who most likely got better hardware to bolster the scores.

 

[15th Warlock]

Benchies coming later tonight can't wait to get back home

 

[15th Warlock]

Ok, more pics as promised:

System status at default settings, please note cores temps:

More detailed default status:

System status after entering 45x multipler:
