Temperature Spikes Reported on Intel's Core i7-7700, i7-7700K Processors

Dont know.. I just know they wouldn't touch my 2000 Civic Si and I had a fist full of cash...multiple dealerships said to hit 3rd party tuners, so I did.

As far as Intel, again, I understand, they allow it (with a K processor), but do not SUPPORT it. If they supported it, then they would be liable. Makes complete sense to me. I also see where people are coming from though... why would they allow it, but not support it?
If you are from US and i can see you are from Ohio Bro Japanese cars on US market are totally different, made for the US market. I haven't seen a car with a displacement lower than 2.5(which is crap) in USA while in Europe 2.0 is a decent one. Totally different cars even if it is the same model. I saw one back in later 90's Toyota Celica 4x4 1998 where the engine was 2.2. You wouldn't find that car in Europe. In Europe was 2.0 and even if it is same model and production year the engines and everything under the hood looked like a different car.
Also a friend of mine shipped a Toyota (not sure about the model and it doesn't matter) from USA to Europe. Went to the Toyota dealer for a automatic gear fix (swap). The guys at Toyota said that this car doesn't exist in Europe and they can do nothing about it. He had to ship it back to US and fix it there. You can see that it does depend on the car and the market.

Back to the subject. with processors it is totally different All that is different about the CPU is that they can be shipped from a different region and have slightly different silicon. (Intel products from USA and other regions across the world) USA silicon was slightly better with thermals and OC potential even if it was same stepping and same processor. I hope that proves my point that car examples are not always in the right place comparing those to CPU's and the CPU's market.
 
It doesnt. Not sure what your story about tje marlet have to do with anything. :)

Silicon is different from each wafer period. Doesnt matter where it comes from. In my many years of overclocking, when batches actually mattered, ive never heard of a regional bias for better cpus. Never. Each wafer is different.

It's about your car examples which are not in the right place here and you are wrong about the car tuning. For USA don't expect different. all other places don't have that problem.
Each silicon is different. I will try to find that article about it. it was I think with intel's skylake i7's. Silicon's from one factory in comparison to other were better. in general not wafer to wafer and i'm talking about thermals which is an indicator of a OC potential in some way.
 
Lol, im not wrong about what honda does here in the US... at least, they didnt do it 15 years ago. Maybe they do now and maybe they do in other countries, but they sure didnt then, and i live in the US, so.....please understand my context.

Cant wait for the link. :)

You are wrong to pick a car example in CPU's department. It doesn't apply here.
 
Lol...ok. just tag me when you get that silicon link. Im taking the blue pill. :)

Not necessary to take one but that's on you bro. I shall tag you for sure.

That's happened somewhat with Intel before like when the Malaysia chips were most always the creme of the crop for the O/C lottery cant remember which one's stood out the most [myQ6700, 3.4P4EE and my current 2600K all Maylay]
It was usually a hot topic on the "where" people were getting them, seems like now days it's just null.
Back in the "slocket" celeron days, though pretty much any chip would hit the lottery. My 600 was 928.
Heard that quite a few DC's from Vietnam had pretty good O/C with lower VID's even though higher VID's still O/C about the same.
Till there is some Data about the lot's of these spiky chips it's anybody's guess.
 
I dont need grandpa's w/ratirt... :p



...wonder if that link is ever going to show up. Must be in newsgroups since its taken like 6 days so far! :D:lovetpu:

Hey Ratirt , hows about you conclude one load of bs posting before cranking up on another?
 
In a way... hes right... but there can still be average or below average wafers/cpus from each area. Its all dependent on the silicon that hits the fab, not necessarily the location....thats jjst where the better wafer happens to land. The process to turn it into a cpu is the same.
 
I had this issue with the 7700k on a Asus Strix Z270i. Discovered it with having the voltage set to auto would randomly kick the voltage up over 1.45v and would hit 90+ sometimes 100 Celcius with a H100. Set it to stock voltage and didn't see over 55 Celcius at stock settings Now have the proc @ 5GHZ using 1.35v and haven't seen over 76 Celcius.

for science... what cpu cooler are you using? nice temps! =)

Corsair H100 w/ Corsair 120 AP fans. Soon will be under a custom loop.
