Hi all
Dont know if anyone remembers, but i had some temp issues with my i7 3930k not that long ago. Any OC past 4.1 would see my Prime temps reach 80-90 under 1 min!
I assumed i had a very very hot chip.....but i was wrong..... It turned out to be the H100! I changed for a complete custom loop using EK Supremeacy Nikel Plexi block, EK 360 XT Rad, XPSC Dual bay res and Alphacool D5 pump. I ditched the AS5 paste and used MX4.,...I was amazed at the difference in temps! I can now OC to 4.6 with Prime temps at about 65-67 max! - i was well chuffed with that
But i wanted to see just how far i could push it.
Currently i have it OC'd to 4.9 using an offset of +0.010, LLC on Ultra High. This makes my Load Vcore (in CPUZ) 1.424
Obviously 4.9 is a fair bit higher that 4.6 and therfore requires a lot more Vcore, which in turn generates a LOT of heat. My idle temps are irrelevant but they are at 28-30. And my load temps in Prime are 79 deg C max - thats with HT dissabled and RAM at 1333. I have found that HT generates a lot of heat and so does higher RAM freq. My RAM is supposed to run at 2133, underclocking it at 1333 helps me achieve a lot lower temps at high clock speeds
Just wanna know what other peoples i73930k temps are like at 4.9 or higher
ps heres a pic of the new setup:

Cheers
