no problem there, I delided like 50 2066socket CPUs so far.
Killed one 7900X - the 1st

but all others are good

oh well, this 7980XE the piece of PCB on the edge broke off as the CPU jumped of the vise but its workig as intended

how did you shim the cooler though?

yotano211 · Nov 17, 2017

Is there anyway you can get total power draw from everything. OMG I wonder the power draw on this beast.

4.6ghz from 18cores, good lord!!, I run 4.6ghz on a quad core laptop.

phanbuey · Nov 17, 2017

yeah my 7820x at 4.6 @ 1.16v can suck down ~350W of power (550W @ AVX512 full bore according to sisoft which i think is bs)... i cant even imagine juice that thing is putting out.

The best stability test i have found for these is the Sisoft Sandra Processor Multimedia bench. Run that and watch the vrms just melt.

From the wall? Maybe 800-900W running P95 and some GPU . benchmark.. depends on the GPUs and how they are overclocked.

+1

So, again, it is not clear Vego, did you put the lid back on or are you running bare die???

jaggerwild · Nov 17, 2017

Another EVGA fan boy, Should have to go to TOMSHARDWARE but oh well

I removed IHS and cleared glue and this intels mud and applied LM on chip and IHS.
After that I places CPU in the socked, than IHS, applied EK paste and the monoblock

nothing inventive about it

EarthDog · Nov 18, 2017

Inventive? Just asked if you put the lid on man...

Thanks for clarifying you put the ihs back on and is not running naked.

Vego · Nov 18, 2017

I have a problem with GPUs while using Precision as my EVGAs used to clock to 2100MHz ... ;(

Performance is not what I expected, need to solve that GPU issue:

https://www.3dmark.com/fs/14174276

and the system looks like this

More tomorrow

PS.
Please let me know if there is some program you would like me to run test in - I'll do it if it will not be painful to install

EarthDog · Nov 18, 2017

What did you expect???

Typically gpus in sli/cf will not reach the same clocks together they do individually.

yes, kick me while I am down

OCed CPU to stable 4,7GHz
at 4,8 will enter wiondows but wont pass CBR15

also went full fanboy and ordered FTW-K from EVGA so next weekend there will be some visual upgrades

So this and 900P and we are done

EarthDog · Nov 18, 2017

While you are down? What???

Im just asking what scores you believe you are supposed to get. Second, was letting you know typically when combining cards, you get a bit less clocks....

.... :confused:

Upgrayedd · Nov 18, 2017

I cant tell.. why upgrade platform and GPUs so soon after this?
I just have to mention this with all the money here. Are you using G sync w/sli? If your screen is 144Hz Gsync and you get 144fps+ then the screen locks down into Vsync untill fps falls under 144. V sync introduces an incredible amount of latency. I recommend, for G sync users to cap your FPS about 5-8fps under the screens max refresh to keep latency down and Vsync from turning on.
Id hate to see this beast running Vsync.

Also if you really are going Volta some TPU members love 2nd hand hardware sales

have alot of hardware for sale but only europe is possible

xkm1948 · Nov 19, 2017

Run Crysis at 4K with max settings and 8X SSAA. Report back your avg and min FPS when you are done!

I believe there is an EU tag for the classified section. Glhf.

Rehmanpa · Nov 19, 2017

My one and only serious question, with this level of overkill, why only 32gb ram?

Also, can it run minecraft? :roll:

phill · Nov 19, 2017

I am impressed at the level of overkill with this

Thing is, do you run anything like World Grid Computing on it or anything like that whilst it's just sat there looking pretty??

Also have you tried out Realbench or whatever it's called from Asus?? I tried it with my 5960X a long time ago but I was with 7970's back then so I wasn't anywhere close to getting near the top scores I'm prety sure I could have been getting with a better GPU like the 1070 I have now or what I'd like to be getting at some point... 1080 Ti's possibly unless AMD do something that interests me...

Exactly my thought! This rig deserves some of the best!

128GB DDR4-3866. You know you want this OP!

If you HAVE to have RGB then get these

DDR4-3600 128GB

Im pretty sure RGB G.Skill memory has a bug with a lighting that G.Skill hasn't fixed and has been known about for a long time. This could be fixed though,not sure. I think the issue was you couldn't customize the lights at all.

yotano211 · Nov 19, 2017

ALL RGB or go HOME

How were you intending to return the CPU's once you have delidded them? Won't the void in warranty render them useless for return?

EarthDog · Nov 20, 2017

Haha, good question.

trog100 · Nov 20, 2017

its all about having the best you can have.. money no object..

the feeling will last until the next hardware generations arrive.. maybe eighteen months at the most..

but if you can afford it why not.. he he
