That picture with the temps at stock are right after doing just that. I wish I had another cooler, could see right away if it's the water system, cpu, or even both. Any smart way to remove airlock, if it's that? I've done some turning and shaking but don't think it did anything.

Yeah, was wondering if that is normal? Like start the pc, let's say 4.5ghz at 1.3V, in the 40s degrees. As soon as I click start on prime95, it jumps to 80s in half a second, then it starts increasing slowly, degree by degree until stabilized. Doesn't this jumping happen to everyone?

Yeah, I thought it would be enough from the reviews, 60-70 with 3930k @4600+ I'm starting to think 3930k is much cooler then the 4930k. Also, the amount of radiators shouldnt make a difference in the first couple minutes, right? I mean, if I start my pc, and run prime95 right away, it jumps...

jeeezus, that's a lot of stuff. You think I could get 2-3 degrees off if I added another 240 rad? Isn't the waterblock plus the speed of the water running the biggest factor, at least in the first minutes of running it stressed?

How many radiators you running? And what max temps you getting? EDIT: just tested mine at stock with low pump and fans speed, temps went up to 84.

Thx Dave! You're the best. I'm definitely doing that ;)

Thx, that pretty much answers all my questions. About the intel tuning plan. I read on their conditions that it has to be a boxed cpu and not a tray cpu. How do I see that? I mean, the cpu came in a box, but without cooler. EDIT: something like this one: EDIT2: Oh, one more thing :) You think...

Thx, and I just don't want to misunderstand, just to confirm I understood. The first part you said, they all achieve different results, I understand that and agree. But what I was asking, and just to make sure I understand, if I put all those ten chips running at EXACTLY the same conditions on...

Couldn't find that information on spec sheets, but i take your word on that. I did the offset thing, it seems the same, 1.232. Actually I think it's 1.2 but it's reading more, as every value i set, it shows a tiny bit more. But regardless of that, let's say I overclock 10 different 4930k's all...

Are you 100% on that? I was under the impression that all 4930k out of the box on stock settings, all have the same voltages, if nothing changed. I mean, this may be a dumb question, but how does the computer know which voltage to give at stock to make it stable? And take a look here...

But when you say gold chips at 1.05v, do you mean when you leave it on auto, or when you lower the voltage until you find a minimum stable value?

I was running at 4.6 stable at 1.29v, stable. I don't know if that is good or not, but my problem is mostly the temps, not the voltages, i think. In that case, the problem was it getting in the 90s. When I ran stock at 1.2v, it was because it was on auto, i didn't try to run it at lower...

But that can means that if I had a stock cooler that it would run in the 90s. And isn't the stock voltage the same for everyone?

EDIT: Ambient 22 degrees
