So far so good - much smoother experience than with the gigabyte, Asus definitely had a more refined product. All is well and prime is not failing at all with the new motherboard.
An expensive bit of trouble shooting this was one weird issue I guess I have to chalk it up to a flaky gigabyte...
ARGH!
So have an EVGA 1200 Supernova P2 - 10 year warranty and rock solid platform and cheap price were all drawing points. Getting into my mid-30s now so having an extra PSU around is not as much of a pain in my wallet as it may have been a decade ago.
So that's what I have now! My orig...
Can confirm the following:
- ram is 1.65v required and this is setting in BIOS
- changed to 1600mhz and crash in Prime95 still happened after only a few mins with exact same symptoms as before
Was hoping that would do it cause I'm looking at some amount of annoying work swapping PSU....
Ya probably wont be able to push this one much - feel my application job during install shoulda fit the bill - got a good quality one in there.
One day may even want to pursue the idea of taking off the spreader as many do with these CPUs to get at the thermal interface underneath.
But at...
Hey so booted up Aida 64 and did fresh Prime95 run and this was temp when computer shut off (no BSOD, just straight to OFF and come back, like hitting reset button and as per all other Prime95 crashes)
Temps:
CPU 72
°C CPU Package 80
°C CPU IA Cores 80
°C CPU GT Cores 50
°C CPU Core #1...
Looks well in range from what I see on other similar platforms. That said, stays hotter and for longer on OCCT without crashing so should I really be worrying that much about temp?
Cause temps are pretty good especially at stock. The OCCT tests push it to 70-80 range, Prime doesn't get a chance to heat it up past that point before crash starts.
Have a Noctua D-14 and its all in a well ventilated Silverstone TJ11
I am thinking a heat issue is unlikely unless i'm...
Yes it is F6!
I can try with one or the other GPU just unsure if I can do video from the CPU with the i4790k, i'm always discrete so never cared much if I could (like with my wife's i5 in our HTPC I know I can run video there)
Hey Anandtech! Looking for some expert fellow enthusiasts to give me a double check on my situation and confirm I am following a good methodology to solve a very strange crashing issue which to me, feels like a PSU issue.
Setup:
OS: Win 8.1 x64
CPU: i7 4790k running stock
Mobo: Gigabyte...
Ya it was a year long struggle before I jumped on it almost- was close on this, 800D, FT02 -> just wanted the one that would give me most options down the road and it just seemed this was most flexible - giving me great air cooling until I decided to do the water thing.
I thought to myself...

Here is pic with the 4x140 - EDIT - well its 120, but there's room for x140 fans you can see there's still room...
There's enough room in the bottom compartment of a Silverstone TJ11, currently I have both hot swap bays out cause well, I have all my drives in a NAS anyway and only need an SSD and one HDD for a little more breathing room...
So its pretty much an empty compartment save the power supply...
