@BonzaiDuck...1.38v is too high, hence me ordering a new chip. I've seen some really great chips so I'm hoping that, sooner or later, I'll get one. And yes, DC are 22nm.
I've got a H100i cooling my 4790K and it does a good job. My chip is no good (so I've got a new one coming) but @ 4.7GHz 1.38v temps are in the mid-high 70s
I use Sekisui #5760 thermal tape to attach the IHS to the PCB. It's so thin that it has no impact on temps and it isn't difficult to remove the IHS again if needed
I wish I had read this thread earlier. Someone mentioned that the OP should use Prime95 because the temps seem low. Running Aida64 with only stress FPU selected will do a better job than Prime95 and temps will also be higher. You may also need to bump up the vcore a notch or two.
I'm interested in either Ivy-E or Haswell-E purely for benchmarking. I'm curious to know whether the IHS will be soldered or if they will use thermal paste and glue. A chipset revision would be nice. Native USB 3.0 that works. Not so much worried about the number of SATA ports as I'll only have...
Aida64 has been my favourite for many years (even back when it was Everest) Aida64's support is first class. The other day I reported an issue with their CPUID reporting the wrong voltage. After sending them the info they requesting they sent me a new BETA version of Aida64 which fixed the...
I'm pretty sure that the trial version of Aida64 has full functionality for the stress tests. It's just the benchmarking and diagnostics that are limited. No single solution is perfect so I suggest people try a few different options and see what works best for their system. For example, if I was...
Disclaimer: This thread is not an attempt to convince people that one is better than the other. These are my results and conclusions which I wanted to share so we could discuss and hopefully learn something
Test bench:
Intel 3770K @ 4.7GHz (each test required different settings for stability)...
My new DMM arrived so I took a reading of the v-core @4.7GHz and did not see the fluctuations reported by CPU-Z, Aida64 etc. The voltage ranged from 1.236v - 1.238v. I don't feel as bad about it now.
