Are there any settings I could change in the BIOS related to running this CPU at lowest temps @ stock? (CPU settings now are default)
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming.

 

[Jetster]

Lower the voltage. But what is it under a load? 52c ? Your leaving it stock for a while right? Looks fine

 

[RealNeil]

Looks fine to me too. Here is my 7700K @ 4800MHz. This is while using a 240mm Thermaltake Water 3.0 AIO with two fans pushing air through and out the top.
Looking at my temps, yours seem to be in line with mine at a lesser clock speed.

Highest I have seen sofar was around 60C core temps. Have been playing some GTA V and did some short AIDA CPU stress tests (not FPU) .
I'm using a CM212 cooler + 1 scythe fan at around 1100rpm.

@Jetster @RealNeil this is the voltage under (light)load, didn't check voltage with GTA V but should be about the same? (1.25V)
I know it's not FPU or other stress testing , I'm using a budget cooler... I may buy a better cooler sometime next year, AIR.

This should be a worthy upgrade from i5-6500 @ 5Ghz.

Welcome to i7 owners club, since you got plenty power over there, any plan for that beast!?
also seems your i5 is a brave one, gonna sell it?

The system is just for gaming alone hahaha.
i5 was already sold to someone in my country.

Here's a post I did over in [H] for my stable 5.0, all cores on an asus board, not delidded:

https://hardforum.com/threads/my-87...is-it-pretty-average.1951296/#post-1043420173

XMP for DDR3200 2 x 16GB, selected "No" on doing ALL adjustments, just loaded the profile.
AVX Negative offset 2 (Though I could likely raise this, or seemingly remove it back to 0)
Sync All Cores
50
LLC 5 (I am waffling between 5 and 6. At 5 with 1.31, I drop to 1.296 under load which runs fine. Then at 6 with 1.30, I move up to 1.32 under load, so a little bit of an over shoot with some small heat increase. If 5 proves unstable, I will drop vcore to 1.30 and use 6 since that was 6 hours OCCT with AVX stable).
Long Duration PPL - 4095
Short Duration PPL - 4095
IA AC Load Line - 0.01 (These are what I needed to tame my 1.5 overshoot when booting into desktop)
IA DC Load Line - 0.01 (These are what I needed to tame my 1.5 overshoot when booting into desktop)
CPU Core/Cache Current Limit - 255.50
Core voltage - Adaptive
Eventual Turbo Voltage - 1.31 with LLC 5 (1.30 with LLC 6)

EDIT: Cooling is an Aquacomputer block with an ek ddc bay/res and 240 rad.

any Oc plans? delid or any evil plan?
im wondering if i should uprad to any recent or marginally newer setup, the prices in my country are making me still with i have!

well, results are amazing, welcome aboard to the club!

 

[Mussels]

havent posted here for a while but i moved from my 3770k to a 4770k (as well as my ryzen) and the delid tool is on the way from ebay

planning to disable HT and get 4.6+, main PC is for 4k 60 and secondary is for 1440p 110, so the systems are optimised for their screens (stable performance vs max FPS)

I will delid with razor method as always. Hope for 5.2 24/7 and 5.4 for fun.

I think your 3770 paired with 980 is still fine. I upgrade because I felt that 4 threads is simply not enough for modern games even with highly overclock. Totalwar Attila instantly saw nearly double fps in campaign map with 8700K stock (from 30 ish to 50 ish). Aven Colony (space city construction) never saw stuttering with high populations anymore.

 

[Enterprise24]

A bit less than expect hahaha. Hope for 5.2 but got 5.1 instead. 5.1 need 1.37V but 5.2 I try up to 1.47V but never stable for real world usage so I just give up.

Delid reduce temp by 14C average on all cores.

Below test with 25C ambient temp.

 

[P4-630]

Did some slight OC'ing. @ 4.4GHz all cores.
CPU Voltage @ Adaptive.

 

[Tatty_Two]

I'm in, this was a prime run hence the temps, could probably drop voltage down a bit as she will do 4.6 on this voltage but only go up to that on the rare occasion that I bench as she starts getting a little toasty.

 

[RealNeil]

Was going to delid this 6700K CPU. Thought some more about it and decided to just leave it alone.

 

[Jetster]

Nice temps

 

[Bones]

Did this build after winning the CPU in the HWbot Country Cup this past year.
Grabbed a board that was in need of repair (Pins of course) fixed it and it's working, the board was much cheaper this way but had to be picky about what I took a chance on and it paid off.

All total I probrably have less than half of what it would have cost me if buying all new as I would normally do with the RAM being the most expensive part of it all. Even with that I'm under $225 U.S. with this one so there isn't anything to complain about.
CPU has been delidded and on air with this one, did a run of X265 using the 4K setting as shown to see what temps it reached as set to run.

 

[STIG_ZA]

Some updates to my rig

Since ive had it ive upgraded some parts to:
Zotac gtx1080ti amp extreme core edition (with thermal pad mod), boosts to around 2038Mhz in games
Samsung 960 evo 500gb, 750 evo 500gb, 256gb corsair force lx, Seagate 4tb
replaced all fans with Corsair ML140 pro blue

 

[R-T-B]

I've switched to team blue. An 8700k to be exact.

Don't take this as any kind of switch of loyalties... I have none and am only a crazy little frog who can't hold on to hardware for more than a couple months.

 

[RealNeil]

You gettin' froggy with the boys in Red? LOL!

I just built a Hexa-Core Ryzen 1600X for my wife last week. She loves it too.
I traded some R9-290X GPUs for the ASUS MoBo, CPU, Wraith-Max RGB Cooler, and the PSU. I had everything else to do the build on the shelf.

I still have a Ryzen 1700X on the shelf, but that's for me. Everything else here is Intel-based. If either company want's loyalty, they should buy a dog.
I'll bet that your 8700K is bad-ass!

 

[Aquinus]

One of these days, I'll retire the 3930k and the 3820 but, not today. With prices the way they are, I'm really only thinking about the chassis, cooling, and storage. I did cooling first a couple months ago with the h100i v2. I'm thinking the case is next up because the the cooler barely fits in the Antec 1200. I'm debating getting a Corsair D900, going all in with fans and a controller for them, and new SATA cables for everything.

 

[peche]

m making my numbers, hope i could get new hardware this december, dunno i feel my 3770 still brave enough sometimes...

Some updates to my rig

I have a blue box too!
i7-7700K, ASRock Z-270 Killer SLI/ac mainboard, 32GB 3200MHz RAM, 250 and 500GB M.2 drives, 750W Gold PSU, and two GTX-1070 G1 Gaming GPUs.

 

[peche]

Blue boxes are getting popular again, despite the RGB era!

 

[Ruru]

Good evening.

edit: Blue boxes?

I hate that scratch on my side window..
