forgot to mention, my temps were with my integrated CPU graphics enabled.

Yep, Antec 920. Your temps are amazing with the delid, but I still don't have the nerve to try it.

Yeah, it tooks me a hell of thinking before heading nut delidding, but it came right and i'm still suprised i've done it. :)

Results are there and with some technical hand-skill (i meant readings!!), sleepling well, being calm before action then you can succeed!

Do not think it matters Discrete or integrated.

Edit: I'm using Gpu Virtualization with Integrated enabled too.

thought it would raise the temps a little...?

any whoot, heres a REALLY quick OC to 4.6GHz at 1.224v

Not that significant i think if you have a good cooling system.

You've got more CPU phases than my motherboard...with fine tuning you might be able to low those Temps at same Ghz. Should try another thermal paste too.

My temps at @4.6GHz Aircooler last year were two degrees more than yours actual, though!

i just threw a voltage at it and set it to 4.6 literately 2 minutes. im using artic silver MX-2 1 fan in pull

did some testing before The Walking Dead comes on... interesting results...

-Looks like HT disabled does not improve temps at all... maybe for HIGH end OCs, but at my 4.4, made no difference.
-Looks like OCing via Turbo Boost as compared to base OC yields higher temps.

If i recall well the Artic Silver MX2 is a 5.6W/Mk thermal conductivity only. You should at least try to use a 8.5W/Mk paste for better results under the H80i.

One of those can be a good alternate paste

As I'm not using i7 K core i can't be much of help about disabling HT or not, though it looks not making that much change with or without.

The thing I've noticed about almost all reputable Thermal Paste comparisons are just like this one. Results: Closed-Loop Liquid Cooler; High Mounting Pressure - Thermal Paste Comparison, Part Two: 39 Products Get Tested You can count them if you want, but about the top 20 are within 3C of each other, which means that they are just about all the same. I'm not sure 3C will make a big difference to any of us. Personally I use Noctua NH-T1, which may not be the winner, but is right up there with them. I have used Coolabs liquid Ultra and didn't notice any difference. It was probably there, but it made no noticeable difference until I decided to clean it off.

That's what I was thinkin. Plus, once puppyyou get to the top 10, price sky rockets.

Noctua NH-T1 is a 11W/Mk thermal conductivity, i'm not surprised its a good one too.

There's different packages from 1gr to 5gr, so is the price too. If you head to a good brand you'll need to take the less amount of paste for a longer time.
