luck finding one which can hit 5,0 GHz.

The 6700K that @peche is talking about it's my ex 6700K that i gave to him, i told him that i have tried everything and i couldn't get it stable above 4.6GHz, but he is convinced that he will hit 5.0GHz

 

[Komshija]

@Knoxx29 With sub-zero cooling he might push it to 5,0 GHz at very high voltage.

Hey buddy,

Nice delid job

Was it worth it? Got a 7600K here that's looking at getting it's top off.

Did you put the IHS back on or left the CPU die as is?

Cheers.

I doubt he will try Subzero cooling, i tried 4.7GHz with the cooling at 4c but after one hour BSOD.

It was worth, 5.0GHz 1.344V and temperature are amazing, and yes i put the IHS back.

I owned a 6700K, bought it in November but in January i bought a 7700K, the 6700K was the worst CPU i ever had, max OC was 4.6GHz 1.364V, i did all possible settings/tweak but i never got it to work above 4.6GHz, i tried 1.40V/1.45V/1.50V but nothing worked it just refused to OC higher, it was a Nightmare.

watch your out, that chip will do 5.0GHZ for me, no matter what it takes....

Your i7 3770 is still quite a powerful CPU. If you plan to buy a new (unused) i7 6700K, good luck finding one which can hit 5,0 GHz. Very, very few i7 6700K's are capable to achieve stable 4,9 and 5,0 GHz OC without surpassing 1,42V.
Average i7 6700K should achieve stable 4,6GHz@1,35V while good examples should reach 4,7 GHz without surpassing 1,365V. My needs minimum 1,375V for 4,7 GHz to pass 30-minute Prime95; it is possible that I would need 1,38V for marathon 12-hour test but I don't want to torture my CPU that much. Very rare gold samples are capable to reach 4,7 GHz without surpassing 1,35V mark.
The funniest thing when I OC'ed my i7 6700K to 4,7 GHz@1,365V is that everything forked fine for a few days without crashes, freezes or blue screens, starting from FC4, Wolfenstein TNO, several light CPU-z tests, video conversions etc, while Prime95 stopped it in a few minutes. Mine can surely reach 4,9 GHz, but I need 1,39V just to boot into OS and run light CPU-z test, since with 1,38V it failed to boot and with 1,385V it crashed after a few minutes in Windows. Note that I had XMP enabled the whole time and OC was on all cores. If nothing else, at least my i7 6700K is produced in 2016, since its second digit (bottom left side) starts with 6. Week and batch numbers are classified.
.

let see how it will perform, i might have some aces for this move!

There are even worse chips. I read about few "platinum examples" which need 1,4V for 4,6 GHz, while 4,4 GHz OC is their max without surpassing 1,35V. Yours i7 6700K could qualify as "Intel's finest platinum edition CPU".

I recently got my i7 7700k with z270 mobo...should I sell it and buy Ryzen?
Everybody is talking about its performance, so upgrading my rig AGAIN in such a short break is worth something?
Should I regret buying this combo?

you better get yourself some Lemon OG and enjoy you epic new build, dont pay that much attention to AMD ... trus me ...

↑ No. AMD is delaying too much RX490 and Ryzen. I seriously doubt that they will arrive before june 2017, while GTX 1080 Ti and i7 7800K will be (very likely) already on the market.

well said! i see you already got your Lemon OG and just sat to enjoy happines,

The 6700K that @peche is talking about it's my ex 6700K that i gave to him, i told him that i have tried everything and i couldn't get it stable above 4.6GHz, but he is convinced that he will hit 5.0GHz

i would... no matters what!

@Knoxx29 With sub-zero cooling he might push it to 5,0 GHz at very high voltage.

mm no, just some : delid + Z270 + Costa Rica Peace! ...

I know that i already have posted here, but i just have to share what this old cpu is capable to hit of clocks on air cooling. But be warned temps is not so nice. If you cant handle to se an I7 CPU under great pain, look away now

At the end of last week i had the cpu clokket to 4.62 GHz and by no later than yesterday i had it for a short run at 4.7 GHz but at a risky Vcore of 1.5 volts. only stress tested CPU at 4.62 GHz cause at 4.7 it would properly explode from the heat . This CPU is not delidded.

But 4.7 GHz with an I7 980X that still have all cores and HT on and only air cooling is in my mind a great result. Remember This CPU is the first 6 core desktop CPU from intel and at stock only runs 3.33 GHz (turbo all core 3.47 GHz) and then thinking of my I7 920 where at the melting point already at 4.4 GHz, this is a pretty great result im my mind. My expectations to this 6-7 year old CPU has been more than liftet. If i cut hit 4.4 GHz i would had been happy but it just mashed that and blow me away by how well this cpu can clock. This CPU where indeed back then an extreme CPU and Im am still shaking from it.... To make it even more crazy i have seen one of these old chips hit 5 GHz still with all core and HT active but that had water cooling to help and got Vcore close to 1.6 volts.

Temp at stress test 4.62 GHz. First screenshot has Ilde temp and second screen is the load temp.

Some benchmark. CPU clokket at 4.62 or 4.7 GHz.

Edit: Here is that 5 GHz I7 980X i talked about. It where a friend of mine that had that CPU back in the days then X58 still where the shit to get if you wanted to have the bedst of the bedst.

I would asume my own CPU cut hit that aswell if i had the cooling for it. X58 CPU's is not the newest or fastes any more but boy they can overclock

try at least AIO's ... they perform great and could improve your numbers fella, also some Custom watercooling parts are pretty affordable and they are on every Sell / Buy forums!

i do understand how proud you feel with your brave soldier, i have a 870 and some 860's lying around the office serving me like beasts!

Regards,

 

[FireFox]

Send it to me for a few days and i will Waterchiller it

I think if i take the jump to water cooling, It will be custom water. But if i choose an AIO it maybe would be this one. But i would have to find another cooling head for it cause it dosent looks like it has LGA 1366 socket support out of the box:

No thanks. Im keeping this CPU for my self

For 1.40V and above i prefer water cooling

I know you say ditten give it to me. But what shut i so do mean while, i mean what cpu shut i use ( i cant live with out my I7 )?

Use this old crap maybe . No thanks, slow as fuck.

About water cooling. I agreed. But this CPU shut in long terms not be opperate above 1.375 volts any way. Atleast not according to intel specification. For daily use i run it at 4.3 GHz at 1.35 vcore. It still score just over 18000 in firestrike.

well i like small AIO watercoolers since they perform great, i have installed several ones and also most of them on OC'ed AMD FX builds according client budget, that swiftech unit its a beast!

Yeah i have gotten a good eye on swiftech and if i take an AIO. I will atleast have one with 240 MM radiator. I dont think one with 120 MM radiator can do what i want from it: clock the crap out of my CPU an keep core temp ax max 70 C.
70 C is where i have set the max temp for 24/7 use and it looks to be a good spot. That i7 920 i had before i dit the same with and ran 4 years stray at 4 GHz+ and it still works perfect to day just with a new owner. I had it from new and the first 4 years it where fast enough stock. I had it for total of almost 8 years.

well, you might be wrong dude, my Tt Water 3.0 Pro have a 50mm thick single 120mm rad, works flawless... also was excellent taking a FX 9350 at 5.0 GHZ... for single use everyday and gaming, on my next door fella build... also i friend have a Corsair h80i with his i5 2500K @ 4.7 and .141v.... so make your numbers there, they perform pretty well and right now they are pretty much affordable if you seek wisely!

(have i posted here?)

Fellow i7 owner reporting. Won't upload any bench pics as i don't do benchmarks, but happy to say hello to everyone

Will take some time and read the thread, bound to be some info that could come in handy; changed mobo, so will be doing the OC again from scratch, lol
Sincerely hoping the CPU can pass the same tests under the exact same voltages, just cannot be asked undergoing test after test after test again. And you know how it goes, the closer you get, the more hours it takes to fail.. and yet more hours.. days.. very exciting stuff!! (not..)

Anyway, lol, helloes.

O.K., after all this time, like the saying goes, it's probably here to stay, lol (had not forgotten, just wanted to be sure). So i guess i can now post them:

4501 MHz (36x on a 125 strap@100,3 all cores active and locked together), 3251 MHz uncore, 3251 MHz 14-14-14-34-374 @1T RAM (32 gigs)

VRIN (input): 1,950
LLC: Extreme
VRM, max output, throttling, C states, blah blah, all at Extreme or OFF, respectively
Turbo: OFF
Hyper Threading: Enabled
VCORE: 1,367
RING (cache): 1,250
SA: + 0,350
VCCIO: 1.150
DRAM Voltage: 1,44
DRAM Training Voltage: 1,44

Wasn't so lucky on the IMC, won't even boot at 3375 uncore, not even with 1,300 cache voltage, which is (personally) the highest i was willing to risk. This mobo has extra voltage settings that supposedly help with cache, but at such high values, i opted for the safer route and refrained from touching those too; ain't worth it for uncore. And as you can judge by my SA values, same thing with the RAM, 3375 was out of the question, lol.
(am still not sure how it goes with RAM testing to be honest.. with the freq and timings as above, i have had zero errors on the latest UEFI Memtest Pro running for a full day at the default voltage of 1,35V. The reason it's up to 1,44V is because lower than that it would fail Aida, Prime, or both.)

Temps-wise? It's a tight space, loads of equipment, so gets hot pretty quick, on top of which, it tends to be hawt down here. So that under consideration, depending on the weather, core temp idles range from 24 - 32ish. They were at 19 before SA and DRAM voltage bumping. Highest i've seen the RAMs go is 31C and that was during an Aida stress test. The usually sensitive mobo areas sit around 35C. Both RAMs and mobo are passively cooled. I think it's O.K., though i'd have liked it cooler, am worried about the summer.

The above on my lovely GA X99 Designare EX mobo. On the previous shitty Asus one, it couldn't even boot with these values, lol.. it --started-- booting at a VCORE of 1,45. Booting, not stable, it could just boot.
The powah (11!!1!) of Asus folks. Amazing brand. More so considering it cost 200bucks more than my current Gigabyte one

(edit: i call them as i see them. Before the fanboys swarm me, this is the third platform i've had the opportunity to compare Asus to other brands. This is the third time, in a row, the results spoke for themselves. So yes, shitty brand far as i'm concerned. Sorry)

Really @Aenra Noctuas NF-A14 PPC-3000?

What are you trying to cool, i have 6 of them but the 2000rpm version, i set it up as DC in the bios and they run constantly at 1200rpm

Note: Great fans, expensive one

 

[Aenra]

What are you trying to cool

Eeeeverything!

 

[FireFox]

Eeeeverything!

But they are noisy

 

[Aenra]

But they are noisy

Yeah, but i'm all out of chewing gum.
(what is it with movies and me today. Sorry)

It's always a choice, between noise and heat. Personally, less noise is something that i see as a welcome bonus, not a priority. And judging by my current idles, i think i chose right

edit: plus, they piss her off to no end, lol. Will admit to some satisfaction out of that.

 

[FireFox]

they piss her off to no end,

I prefer noisy fans instead silent ones, i need to hear the fans spinning otherwise i am not happy

We can get you noisy people together and have a helicopter buildoff over an active volcano and fix that problem for you...
