I don't think it's a Cooler issue, i mean i hope, or maybe is it?

 

[cadaveca]

That's the ubiquitous Noctua NH-D15 (with one fan off at the moment) in the pic. [I see I added pic after you posted.]

That's part of the problem. Yes, these CPUs are highly sensitive to temps.

You'll have to play with IO/ SA voltages a bit to match you ram speeds and how hard the cache is getting hammered from the CPU speed. If you wanna max out the CPU, you really gotta fine-tune it. Looking at how much power just the CPU is pulling would really tell us so much here...

Really, high-end water is required if you expect big clocks. I thought Intel had made that kind of plain...

Or second option, Delidded.

Delid means pop lid, change thermal goo, replace lid, right? (ie, you need the lid in the end!)

You know I was always curios if Denuvo really does fuck things up to that degree. Unsurprisingly given the nature of something like that I cannot find any benchmarks from any reputable sites.

I do find , however , videos such as this along side many claims from people that it actually made no difference whatsoever.

No , but it's enough to brake the myth that games don't use many cores. Which was ll that I had to say from the beginning.

I wouldn't say its a "myth", since by far, most games don't Benefit from more threads. You can't define the subject by the exception. Would it be more factual to say "most games don't benefit from more threads"? Yes, of course. But you calling it a myth is even more unfactual then what you're pointing out to be unfactual.

If I was to say ,"all people like icecream", it doesn't become a myth just because it's not factually true, some people don't like ice cream. It's merely a generalization

Yes it means pop lid but you don't have to replace the lid, after Delidded temps should drop between 10c to 25c depends how lucky you are.

Wait, what? You mean the cooler will sit directly on the die again?! Isn't that how we got cracked die corners back in the day? Wouldn't the hsf mounting need to be shimmed to mop up the 1-2 mm gap I'm assuming no-lid would introduce?

Google .... delid die guard.

Yeah okay my auto settings are pushing sa/io sky high compared to recommended oc settings, will have to play with those.

5GHz 1.395v, compiling source code 223w at the wall, prime95 thermal throttling to 3.6GHz 258w at the wall.

Wow you got a bad chip. Would be thinking somewhere around 1.3V at the most for 5GHz. Thats what the better 8700Ks run at. Don't bother delidding that turd, instead return it or sell it and get another. Best to not delid bad chips, makes it harder to sell them later for a better sample.

 

[xorbe]

Are most people using AVX offset 2 though?

 

[FireFox]

1.25V in bios

I played Games for 7 hours, i haven't tried with low voltages yet.

1.35V in Bios

I played Games for 7 hours, i haven't tried with low voltages yet.

At least i can play Games and it doesn't crash.

I don't expect to hit 5.3 with less than 1.4V or maybe a little bit more since the CPU it's not Delidded.

Tasty. Can we have some Cinebench single-core?

If it doesn't crash yes however i will run the test later after i finish to play.

 

[dj-electric]

If single core CB crash might as well run like headless chickens. An unstable OC is like an online catfish - it might look sexy but if its not there, you can only stay with a screen shot.

I am aware of that.

 

[Vario]

Looks like a nice one Knoxx. Are you going to delid it and run direct die?

 

[FireFox]

Single core

Multi core

Are you going to delid it and run direct die?

I wont, if low temps are needed i use the Waterchiller

 

[Deleted member 178884]

That single core though - hopefully my 7740x is a good bin to come close haha

 

[FireFox]

Big surprise.

At 5.2GHz Cinebench score is higher than 5.3GHz

 

[las]

Multi core

This seems very low? Some 8700K/8086K's hits 1600-1700 multi
Or did they update Cinebench?

I could get higher numbers but this is me been lazy and not in the mood to be tweaking here and there i just ran a few quick tests because @dj-electric asked me otherwise i wouldn't do it.

Or did they update Cinebench?

Cinebench latest version is R15.038, i am using R15.0

That's not surprise, that's instability
CB score is a great way to face real performance instabilities in a short manner.

 

[Deleted member 178884]

I'd say the 7740x has pretty decent oc range, I've always wanted a 8700k - shame in the UK cex sold me the i7-7740x for £125 posted and the i5x was £130 lol. The 8700k is easily £270 here, that 8086k though is a mad overclocker, delid that beast.

I wouldn't be that sure there is something else going on because even after increasing the voltage to 1.45V it is the same.
