Is anyone here running an H100 in a 3770k @ 4.4ghz? and if so, what are your load temperatures?
try checking other forums, I know at least 1 person in evga forums who is using H100 for 3770K and Z77 FTW. as per temps I believe he runs 4.5-4.6GHz with temps around 75C. the highest I've seen him go with this cooler was 4.8GHz and temps over 92C when running IBT2.54 in MAX mode when using 4GB RAM (making short rounds in IBT), no idea what was his ambient room temperature though.
however, there is a problem with comparing 3770K temperatures, since intel used a unreliable application of TIM under IHS on those chips, some of them run extremely hot reaching thermal limits at 4.7GHz on some even with custom water cooling, while for others (also depending on overclockability of certain batches) it's no problem to run 5GHz on water with temps below 90C ... those chips are incomparable thermal wise even at same speed and vcore (TIM could be still better on some than others).
