tIM's tend to dry faster when used with the stock cooler,

Regards,

That makes sense. Higher temps with the stock cooler would tend to dry TIM out faster.

reminder to all i7 owners to umm, cool them.

i may have forgotten to plug the pump back in on my h80i last week and have been running a passive (well, zero) cooling i7.

97C and throttling, oopsie.

Oh hell!
That's a big OOPS! It's OK now that you plugged it back in?

thermal throttling is a wonderful thing. no hardware was harmed in this educational experience.

A much different result than when I fried a brand new T-Bird CPU on day one.

no broadwell owners jet?
how many skylake owners do we have?

BUCK NASTY · Jul 27, 2015

i7-860, i7-870, i7-870, i7-870. Had 4 Lynnfield chips running at the same time back when -bigadv was "a thing" for F@H. Still have the last 870 running @ 3.8Ghz/1.4V on water and she crunches along at 68c. Had to reload the OS, as this chip will crash and corrupt the OS from time to time. Still a tough little chip that has had a very rough life at 4.0ghz/1.4v+/90c, but worth every penny I paid.

those are still brave processors, aren't they ?!
:clap:

i just love those old soldiers....i wish i could keep my 870 4ever...!

RealNeil · Jul 28, 2015

The i7-870 that I have still works like it did when I got it brand new.
I can't complain about its performance or temps, ever.

"Old Soldier" is appropriate.

Hard part is finding functioning high end 1156 motherboards under $200.00. Im running a EVGA P55 Micro(652) that has a bad lan port, so using a wireless dongle.

Mine came with an Extreme series Intel board, but I replaced that with an ASRock board. (P55-PRO) I bought an i5-750 for the Intel board and shipped it to my daughter's husband to use. He still has his in use too.

Lynnfield had limited numbers of PCI-E lanes compared to X58, but if you used one powerful GPU in it, it was a good platform and great for gaming.

Great boards. I had 3x AsRock P55 Extreme's and 1x EVGA P55 FTW. Bought them refurbished on Newegg for $100.00 each in 2010. They lasted 2-3 years of 24/7 folding until I sold them off. I miss that P55 FTW board something fierce.

agreed, Lynnfield still pretty capable of bringing great time on gamig,

i bet that setup will last for years,

Still rocking my old first gen I7 920 @ 4.3 GHz. Nehalem/Bloomfield is such a nice overclokker when you have the cooling for it. And today it just performed my very best score in 3Dmark firestrike.

My 2600K is still going strong. I believe my motherboard is starting to flake out though. It has had some strange BSOD since windows 10 install even on stock settings.

RealNeil · Aug 2, 2015

I may have an ASRock Z68 Extreme7 Gen-3 if your board dies.

give it to me instead, it'd be a nice upgrade XD

I keep thinking about overclocking my 4790k, or attempting to again but whenever I see that turbo kick in, I turn a bit pale and think "do I really need to go higher?"

disable turbo and OC it to the same multi with manual voltages, you'll get the same speed except on all cores, and likely lower volts/heat.
At present i'm at 4GHz on all cores undervolted (laziness, from troubleshooting my 280x issues) and i much prefer it with turbo disabled.

After I cook and eat, and once Warframe is done updating I shall do this.

EDIT: Screw Warframe, it's overclocking time!

So I got the thing to run at 4.4ghz on 1.15v. Getting there was the issue as it goes tard and boot loops, but skips the BIOS and instantly loads Windows. If a BSOD happens at the Windows startup, well.. still no BIOS. I'm going to see if I can CORRECTLY overclock now.

UPDATE: It's fighting me, again. I can change the voltage but it won't save clock speed changes AT ALL.

UPDATE 2: So turning off Turbo makes the rig run off of the DISABLED settings and the uncore, which is dumb because I can change the clock speed multi as much as I want, but the thing rides on uncore/disabled turbo settings. 4.6ghz 1.25v on all cores is what my cooler will do with 82c being the hottest in OCCT.

tabascosauz · Aug 2, 2015

Found the greatest <125mm height air cooler for mini ITX. My 4790K has been humbled by the mighty power of the Noctua D9L with an extra B9 fan added to the mix. 71 degrees maximum under OCCT. With full stock Intel turbo table. Who would've thought that a midget tower would be so OP? No wonder the reviews called it a mini-D15.

Of course it does have a beefy NF-A14 feeding it fresh air from about 5cm away, but hey, even the L12 can't pull this off. The D9L succeeds where the L12, L9i, L9x65, U9B SE2, and U9S have failed.

Ha-Ha! I didn't intend to 'give' it away to anyone. I'm trying to save up for an X99 CPU.

sh*t... i have the same motherboard, i hope mine lasts a little more....

another question...are here broadwell owners?

peche · Aug 10, 2015

Broadwell ? Skylake owners?
none of them jet?

What about delidders ?

That's a beautiful setup man. My rig runs great but it looks like a clown threw up a skittles cake inside a box. Only thing I got going is good cable management.
