STOCK volts stock speeds its 150-160w 200w is the avg under load its peaked as high as 230w for the CPU alone. I can go further tho its not a huge issue. Might be able to drop voltage as well, these are settings I loaded as i knew 100% they were stable to begin with. Also using super cheap thermal paste lol hurray for cermaique 2

it looks like the barbs cover the two inner-most RAM slots, is this the case?

^asking again

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

nope it doesnt cover them regular standard height memory will fit, the barbs can also be changed in terms of there orientation before install

aka remove two screws each side turn the barbs make sure o ring is in place tighten it back down done.

Taller memory like Dominators etc yes they might be blocked cant tell you for sure dont have that kind of memory here.

Ouch, 500MHz slower, less VCore, higher temps... Maybe I'll just stick with the H100i for now, lol. You could also just use a thicker radiator. Also, it looks like the barbs cover the two inner-most RAM slots, is this the case?

you also have to remember your 3820 = 4cores 8 threads

3960x = ES chip that as dave said is poop and is 6 cores 12 threads so when stressing it to the max for stability testing of course it gets hot lol

I realize it's 2c/4t more, obviously, but those temps are still doody. I'll take Dave's word that he battered the chip pretty well; it's probably degraded as hell, lol.

 

[d1nky]

don't they kick out the same heat/TDP as FX8 cores at similar clocks?

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

normally yes but this chip at stock is around 150-160w load vs the average on most retail chips at 120-130

so a good 20w higher and it seems to grow out of control as you overclock.

at 4.4 a 3960x should be around 180-200w my chip hits 230-235 according to AIDA64

at 4.5 I hit 240-250 astill working on ways to lower the TDP a bit.

regardless temps dont bother me that much due to the low noise

at 10cm away my entire system in my room = 31 dBA for the system at load. most air coolers or other systems will be around 35-38 with units like the H100 being as loud as 55 dBA +

Also temps are high for me as I have no dedicated exhuast fan currently. The 140mm wouldnt fit with the rad so I had remove it I tried a Noctua fan in the rear and temps dropped 5c within seconds so I will probably pick up a a fan later for exhaust duties to help drop temps. ALtho I will have to get a 92 to 120mm adapter so I can properly mount the fan as even a 120mm doesnt quite fit

Some boxes came. I wonder what they could be.

I'll take a better picture later with my wife's camera instead of my phone.

I know. The poor 6870s don't stand a chance. That's okay for now though, I mostly work on my tower. I'm waiting to see what AMD churns up before considering a switch to the green camp.

 

[de.das.dude]

those are great displays you have there. maybe i will get a ips in the next couple of months. not sure though

I got one at work and instantly fell in love. IPS really gives quite the vibrant picture.

get a HD7990 it can handle those three and has still enough juice to carry ya over 2+ more gpu releases, besides damn DX11 check´s on few newer games my ol 4870x2 still performs good

Heh. I've spent enough for the time being. I really can't justify spending a ton of money all at once on my computer anymore. I can say the monitors help me with work to get critics in the family to back off, but a new top of the line video card would be hard to justify since I don't do any OpenCL programming and I'm not a game developer.

You can fit a lot of code and documentation on 3 displays. I've been liking it so far.

I haven't been liking how I can't find my mDP to DVI adapter, so I'm using one display off the second video card which prevents me from using CFX, since all 3 displays need to be plugged into the same device, the card which will become the master CFX device.

I ordered one when I ordered the displays, but Amazon says I might not get it until October! So either I have to find mine or buy a new one, because waiting a month is unacceptable.

I may have an extra that I'm not using atm- drop me a PM this evening if you want me to try and locate and send out to you (fellow cruncher deal- you know)

Great looking setup with those displays!!! The 22" and 24" monitors I have felt their lifespan on my desk get shorter when they saw these

** EDIT**
@Aquinus- found it. PM incoming

 

[n0tiert]

well then don´t blame the good 6870´s they perform well for ya need:

hehe

atleast stay on the dark side, the color of ya lightsaber leads you to the right GPU in Future

Ghetto VRM fan installed, salvaged the fan from the stock AMD heatsink. It's sandwiched between the rear ethernet port and the ATX12V connector, very snug. It's almost like it was designed to fit there

DAMN, that's a lot of $1K CPUs! What's the best clock you've hit so far?
Have you found the RIVBE to be superior to the RIVE for overclocking?

EDIT: nevermind, realized you probably took those pics at the OC event in San Fran.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

Well got my 3960x to 4.5 GHz got voltages down to 1.34 from 1.38 temps are down to 80c max on 1 core the rest average around 77'c typical real world loads never exceed 60c

total system noise is 31 dBA if i put my delta fans in push them to 2600 rpm similar to the H100 temps drop by 4 more degrees but noise levels reach the same as the H100 which is unacceptable.

That said I may pick up some slim 120 mm fans to add as pull fans in order to drop temps a few more degrees

Just try to find good imc 4960Xes, the rest went to 3D team
