Not sure I agree.. i am seen the heatspreader on some chops way off.. A 4770k I did was so low in the middle the cooler didn't make decent contact at all.. i also delidded it and that made a huge difference. . Can bench 5ghz air all day long :) I might just lap my new 9370.. really depends if...

Lol.. maybe try lapping the processor?

That does sound like a good deal :). Have you tried overcooking at all?

How did you choose 1.3 vcore? Have you tested lower? Some chips need higher, some lower.. i would test.. This would bring temps down. 4770K's run hot.. i lapped and delidded a couple and that helped tremendously. . The best method is trying to reduce voltages as much as you can..

I am pretty sure there around 1m stock. You could always measure your existing ones.

Do it just for fun.... everybody loves examples and it gives everybody a score to beat :) I'll post a quick and dirty Intel score in a bit as a good basis :)

I usually order from frozencpu or performance-pcs. Not sure If a local generic store has something equivalent.

But have you tested a beefy air cooler also? You might be surprised. What you see.. All that means is that the radiator can handle your load up to a certain load wattage. I'm not saying that there all bad.. All I am saying is that there not such better or better at all depending on the...

What board Are you running? Also i would bench on xp sp3. Trimmed down version for performance.

Also try higher MHz... with higher cas... different amd boards tend to like different mem settings.

Those closed loop coolers Are not worth the price compared to a big air cooler.. they idle decent but there's not that much volume of fluid and they really suck When you generate a lot of heat. A custom water setup is so much better, but it also depends on your skills AMD the products you...

That will help quite a bit. Also make sure you use the stilts program for 32m.. I am trying to remember what the voltage setting for that is.. been benching 4770k lately.. i think its nb voltage depending on the board.. Here's a result with an 8350 from a little while ago.. i have a...

The riser cards will effect performance... from experience i am telling you this. You ,might As well remove 2 cards If you want to use the extenders. A haf case with a fan on the side will direct flow directly onto the cards, not too mention that case has airflow all over the place...

Seems high.. I would remove the heat sink and replace the tim on it.

Can you go more with nb freq? That will help :)
