Yah I mainly opted for the i7 because I figure more and more game engines will start being coded with 8 or more threads in mind, especially now with these 8 (not sure if 8 or 16 threads) Core processors in next gen consoles.
Actually all the screens ive posted have HT on, I turned it off to see if it made any difference while testing yesterday. All Ive noticed is that with HT on it runs a tiny bit hotter.
I also find it kinda weird that the GFLOPS in Intel Burn Test are actually about 15% higher with HT off vs On.
Anything else I can do to get better stability and temps?
All I'm doing is disabling hyper threading, 45x100 multiplier, lowering and raising VCore accordingly, and every now and then raise or lower PLL to try to get better temps or pass tests..
The scaling from 4.4 to 4.8 is annoying lol.
I can pass IBT @ 4.4 and 1.15 Volts with temps in the low 60's.
But need 1.32 or 1.33 Volts for 4.8 with 95 degree temps!?
Bye is it the voltage or the temps that " degrade" a CPU?
For example right now I get 63 tops @ 4.4 and 1.15 Volts...
I can pass Standard Intel Burn Test @ 4.8 Ghz with 1.33 VCore (temps were really high!)
4.8Ghz @ 1.30 VCore will boot windows but BSOD during 2nd pass of Intel Burn Test

I haven't tried overclocking further, I'm new to this and wanted too see how low I could drop the vcore and my temps
Can't figure out how to OC my Samsung Low voltage RAM either..
I found this thread by googling the batch number of my CPU, I also got my CPU from Tustin Microcenter.
Never even knew about "delidding" before stumbling apom this thread.
Figured I'd post my temps without delidding this CPU.
Specs are:
3770k @4.3 Ghz
Z77 Maximus Gene V
H100i with SP120...
