intel core i7 Owners Club

Tomgang · Jan 21, 2017

Once again i coming to hunt this thread. Since i have upgradet the old I7 920 to an I7 980X cpu. Its maybe old but i am still very hyped since i just replaced it today and with that CPU also a second gen X58 motherboard and a Noctua NH-D14 cpu cooler with 3 fans well because i can. Now i just need to oc the crap out of this new used CPU :peace:

Great! welcome back again @Tomgang glad you just upgrade to another asskicker i7!
would you keep that unit air cooled? or would upgrade to water? maybe an AIO

Well as this CPU oc with this air cooler, i am deffenly keeping it air cooled. 4.5 GHz on air with all 6 cores and HT on i think is more than acceptable. Se screenshots.

Even temp Arent to bad thinking on its on air cooling. Stress program is Prime95

I am very satisfied as it is.

Hey... I would just like to show off this gorgeous freak. I got the whole package (ASRock Z170 Pro4S+16GB DDR4+CPU) for less than the cheapest 6700K. OCCT AVX stable. Loving my new setup.

JalleR · Jan 26, 2017

Here is mine 5930K with just a little Vcore tweak, what is the Vcore, vid limit/safe settings and what is the temps on your 58xx-69xx series ?

Welcome !
are you running stock ?
ill be building a new rig, 1151, still making my mind with the motherboard!

Welcome too!
are you just interested on temps on some chips? or just temps on Extreme i7's ?
here we have enthusiasts that have terrific cooling setups!

Sure AIO are great but that air cooler i have now Arent to shabby so i am keeping that and i dont wanna spend to much money on this old rig.
Temp are great thinking at the clock speed and how high the cpu is clokket to.

agreed, those chips tend to be hotter but they are soldered so its pretty easy to lower temps with a great cooler, some people tend to lap IHS for better contact, i have never done that...

I have never lap/delidded a cpu. Dont want to risk damage it. But i have done what i can do to get lowest possible temp on air cooling with out risk og cpu damage. First of all using a good thermal paste called thermal grizzly kryonaut and a big ass cooler (Noctua NH-D14) and mounted 3 high RPM fans capable of 2400 RPM. To spice it up a bit done so airflow is as free and direct it can be.

Mine is Water cooled (costum) an is getting 69c @4,2 1,170v so I was just wondering what others was reaching with their coolers, I think mine is a little high

Regarding vcore etc, I'm just want to know how high I can go.

thx for the reply

supported idea, i always take care of cooling, but i dont like that much big-ass air coolers, the little ones are ok for me on budget builds, but for OC i like water, also i do really love AIO closed Water loops, and i do like delid, its pretty hard to screw a processor when delidding... razor method for security reasons, i dont support vice hammer delid...

PD: that cable management on the attached pic says "Kill us all"

joke!

what about that custom WC? im planning to build one for my self, but you know sometimes im bit lazy,

I know that cables sucks ass, but with to short cables, 6 hdd/ssd and two gfx + psu at the buttom of case it gives a shitty cable management.

Atleast it performs as i want it to.

agreed, sli takes so much space, require moar cables and block other, i never liked sli at all, not even for the better look some people claim it brings

Purchased 2 days ago from a good friend of mine for ~$190, currently at 4.6 GHz @1.27 Vcore. Will try to test the chip's limits once i switch to a swiftech AIO in the upcoming weeks.

Got this combo on taobao (had to translate it), there's nowhere cheaper

lol here you go

After some research, I realized QHQF is one of the best Skylake engineering samples available. It's about the same as 6700K but OC won't hit much further than 4.3GHz generally.

So... I dug out the best deal online. Taobao is chinese-only but, like Aliexpress, it's owned by the Alibaba group.

CPU only (~US$160). Hey, a lot better than i7 6700. A true K chip, so you don't lose AVX and temp readings even when venturing in non-K BCLK OC lands.

CPU+mobo (~US$278) - I got mine from this seller, only asked him to add some quality DDR4 kit to the mix, but mobo was ASRock Z170 at the time (currently MSI Z170 Gaming M3, likely better). Ask for HK or China Post if you want to keep the total low (shipping takes long but is really cheap).
