Post your Cinebench R23 Score

[RealNeil]

trying out the new i5 @5Ghz

That's a great score for an i5 CPU. Temps are good too.

Sorry for the dual post. But I was trying to find the EDIT link on my last post and couldn't see it.
Is this part of the new page design on TPU?

Here is my i9-7900X with a pair of 980Ti cards in it. In a while, I'm going to put a pair of 1070 cards inside and run it again.

Is this a recent CB run? Seems really low for a 7900x.

Yeah, I ran it and then shut down to swap the GPUs out.
Honestly, I've had a lot of trouble with my MSI board. It was included in the deal when I bought the i9-7900X CPU and 64GB (four 16GB sticks) Hyper-X 2600MHz. RAM kit.
It keeps going to Intel default RAM speeds after a reboot. (1066/2132MHz.)
My RAM is 64GB (eight 8GB sticks) of 3000MHz. GSKill Ripjaws-V. but I just swapped the RAM out for the 64GB Kit of Kingston Hyper-X RAM.
I'm not going to leave the 300MHz. speed RAM in a system that won't recognize it properly.

I need a better Mainboard for this CPU. (an ASUS or Gigabyte)

My Cinebench score improved slightly with the 1070s and slower RAM in the machine. (go figure)

Well that certainly looks better. I tried HARD to get my 7900x stable at 4.8, but I ultimately dropped it to 4.7GHz and after some tweaking, it's stable with 1.2V. CB scores are ~2590. I'm running 32G of Corsair Vengence 3466 RAM clocked at 3600. I have also re-enabled all of the power saving settings ( C-states, Speed shift) and that managed to drop idle temps to 23C with an ambient temp of 20C.

That Strix board is better than my MSI X299 Gaming M-7 ACK. Someone lent me what I need to de-lid this CPU but I'm not sure about doing it.
I screwed up one of my i7-7700Ks de-lidding it. So I'm pretty gunshy about it.
I'm going to have to either do it or not, pretty soon. I've had his de-lid tool too long.

 

[phanbuey]

I have a feeling whoever sent you the tool won't be delidding anything until cascade lake x so you're probably fine...

Take a few shots... say a few prayers... then go for it.

Yeah, I thought about sending my chip to Silicon lottery for delidding. However, I don't think I will get any higher overclocks, just a lower temp.

I'm gonna be a blubbering fool if I mess this one up too!

Your temps are pretty good already. I say don't fix it!

 

[phanbuey]

i would be worried if it was an XE since they have bigger dies, but that tool is designed for the 7900x/7820x.

My delid did only get me like 100MHz more - with another 100Mhz headroom if i went to a waterloop... did drop temps to where i sit cooler at 4.75ghz 1.21 than i did at 4.65 1.156.

I still throttle at 4.8 with the H105, so i just left it at 4.75 really don't notice that 50 mhz

 

[RealNeil]

My wife is going on a road trip starting tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll do the delid then. That will give me time to commit seppuku if I screw the chip up.

Although my temps have been pretty reasonable, and everything I've thrown at the cpu so far barely even makes it break a sweat (other than synthetic benchmarks), I am also considering a delid, and maybe even a copper IHS. I have to imagine if I did go through with removing the IHS I could likely keep it under 70 Celsius at 5.2 GHz ,not that i need to, but what the heck right?

With a tool? Its foolproof that way, really.

I have a tool for the small chips I would be happy to mail to someone to use... but, you can't waffle on it and hold it for gosh knows how long.

I've been looking to borrow a tool for the Skylake-X chips if anyone knows somebody...

im looking at possibly getting this one. it relids, and Delids. and seems to be reasonably priced, with good feedback from users. as you said, with a dedicated tool, damage is pretty tough to come by, unless the tool is poor quality OFC, or human error plays a hand.

Yeah, I used a tool with the 7700K and it doesn't work now. (the one pictured above) And the copper heatsink.

What was it that caused the issue? Was the tool defective ? If you don't mind me asking of course.mainly because I'm considering purchasing that unit and I'd like to know if it was the tool

That's the tool i have - worked great... not scary at all.

@EarthDog once RealNeil delids i have no issues with him sending it to you for a while - it doesnt have the relid bracket though, I was more comfortable using my socket pressure to relid so i would have to look for it if you want it.

I don't know what went wrong. It was probably my fault. The tool worked perfectly as far as taking the lid off.
It was dead once I was done. I redid it twice and it still didn't work.
The tool I used was for the 6600K, 7700K, 8700K series of CPUs.

I don't mind sending it along if you don't care. I just wish that I had the relid tool here because my socket is inside of a case and vertical. To use the socket to relocate the lid would mean that I would have to uninstall the mainboard.

I'll look for it - but if you're off even a bit on the relid, or god forbid, get it backwards.. well you know.

- did you install the CPU and kraken vertically? That seems hard!

EDIT: i think i saw it the other day while cleaning, ill let you know manana.

 

[jboydgolfer]

if anyone here has a delid/relid compatible w/ 8600k (cafe latte Lake), please HMU, id love to save the $45 if possible ....it never occurred to me to ask another member if they had one.

 

[RealNeil]

It's not the Kraken anymore. I swapped it out for a Corsair 280MM AIO with three fans on it. The fourth fan is blocked.
The case is a Corsair Carbide Air 540.

It's pictured here with the 1080s in it. Now it has the 1070 Gigabyte cards.

The one that I own will do that CPU. PM me tomorrow

Will do & TY. Ill need to order some gallium & gasket sealant beforehand

That AIO cooler is a beast ,huh? I have one too, it is heats worst enemy . I bought mine in 2016 & got it pretty cheap too, i couldn't believe it was actually that old because it doesn't look that old. Out of all the aio liquid coolers I've owned ,that one aged the best, it probably has a lot to do with the tubing being sleeved and high-quality

 

[RealNeil]

Yeah, mine works pretty well too. I bought it about a year ago and then forgot it was on the shelf. I found it not long ago and I knew that it would help the i9 out.

So Gallium? Does it come in a liquid form?
I have black high-temp RTV and Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut I can send you to use. Just send back the unused portion.

conductonaut liquid metal and prolimitech. they are Galium ( & other metals) and prolimitech is Gasket sealant. it was just shorter for me to type galium & sealant laziness

Same here, no relid bracket. Would happy to pay for shipping and fast food meal for sending it!
