Ah jeez that bad bud I though the bottle with the nipple cover prevent it from dripping?

Right. I didn't press him for details as he was rather embarrassed by it all. It was a mess though. The smell was like burnt hair...

Jeez nasty to know is there burnt marks on the gpu after the spill?

Im would worry about the vcore you putting through the cpu it awfully high

Yeah, it was a mess.

Agreed.

@Toothless
1.536v is a lot of voltage. Careful mate!

 

[Toothless]

Agreed.

I got it to 4.75ghz and that was it. Gonna normal run 1.45v with a Kraken x60 on it. Easy 4.6ghz so why not.

What can you get with 1.35v?

4,7Ghz is Great OC for that Chip but my Gosh you really push the limit with the 1,53V....Is it really stable on that speed,I mean really not just for 1 Cinebench run can it work on that speed 24/7?

 

[freeagent]

She's good for 1.6v if you can cool her

 

[Edwired]

The poor chip be like brown bread in a few months if the voltages and temp get out of control

Good question. Might tweak with it while waiting for people to wake up for raids.

It's mostly good on 4.7. When I push to 4.75 it starts to throw a fit.

Good thing both are under control.

If it throwing toys out of the pram @ 4.75ghz something needs tweaking. Are you doing it manually or auto?

Who does auto OC on x58? That sounds like a fire waiting to happen.

HAHAHA I know that

 

[Toothless]

So 1.456v for 4.5ghz, I think it'll sit at 4.6ghz on that voltage. Low 70's on a R23 loop for temps, and now just gotta wait for the new ram to come in for it. Might get a open air bench for it.

I upgraded the CPU in my work P410 ThinkStation. I had the quad core Broadwell E5-1620 v4, but I needed some more cores for VMs and some such, so I managed to pick up the hexa core E5-1650 v4 for pretty cheap on eBay. It's a nice boost in performance I must say. Temps are a little bit warmer than before, but not alarmingly so.

 

[8BitZ80]

Look at my mess.

X5675 finally works after some bios updating. Still can't get ECC to work but oh well, I'll be shopping for new ram next week.

That's the trademark of people who like playing around with computers. I mean look at my computer desk, we even have the same upside down Intel stock heatsink and everything lol

Right now I've got a testbench put together for doing thermal paste benchmarks. The Hyper T4 is on there atm but I'll be using a bigger cooler to overclock as far as possible and punish the thermal pastes hard.

Looking forward to results.

Personally, I use MX-4. Hope it comes out on top!

I'm going to give it every chance to. I think there's around 7 in total, including MX-4. My goal is to focus on the affordable(ish) products so the specialty ones like liquid metal are out. No doubt they would win anyway but it's not worth buying 1 gram for $30 or whatever it is. But yeah it will be an interesting shootout, it will probably be a couple of weeks before the results are up.

Ooooo. I'll be waiting for them paste evaluations. I'm still using some three year old MX-4 and misc cooler pastes. So far it works and I can tame the x5675 at 1.525v with my Kraken x60.

Mail came in.

Love those X5675

 

[Edwired]

It possible to get a few degree off in temp by lapping the cpu as I did that to my x5675 as it making a better contact to the heatsink

They've already happened. Arctic MX-5 is excellent! Buy some with confidence.

Hey dudes. 1st time poster, looooooong time lurker, very helpful reads from you chaps over the years to keep my x58 humming along.

Got a question for ya'll finally, I'm looking to finally update my i7 920 (still runs strong since 2008) with a x5675 that was offered to me at a very reasonable price locally. The thing is, he's got a bunch to choose from, is there any particular serial numbers that are better than other in this bin?

Searching for this on google yields nothing, but I'm reminded of the days when I was trying to find the best D0 920 I could back in 2008 with the helps of folks over @ overclock.net.

Cheers
