The delidding process is for those who bought a CPU and even under the perfect conditions it wouldn't stay cool. I read about a guy that OC'd his 3570K to 4.0GHz with a water cooler and he couldn't keep it from throttling. His idle temps with a water cooler at STOCK temps were in the 50's.........he just had crap luck and got a bad chip. About 1-2% of early Ivy Bridge chips fell into that category. Those were perfect candidates for delidding because Intel wouldn't replace it with another CPU so why not? Some idiots who had a decent chip took that idea and ran with it and destroyed perfectly good chips to lower temps 5*.......not worth it in my opinion.

Ah the things one can do with a vice and a mallet LOL!!

Personally I thought he was brave to do that and no I wouldn't. But it does make you think what the heck is Intel thinking of when it comes to compounds inside that casing eh??

 

[ganjiry]

They must be mad to do it lol, More money than sense!

 

[NoN]

Sorry NoN......I've been in and out here lately and I wasn't able to help you out. If you have any other problems, please send a PM, because I certainly won't miss that. By the way, what are you up to right now as far as your OC, temps, voltage, etc?

Yeah, don't feel sorry mates!

Its just Ok around here!

As you know the setting are about what was set previously. I'm just waiting to know if 4.2MHz will stay 24/7 rock stable.

Downloaded that Prime95 v27.7 winx64 and will run it for a while (certainly not 24h for 4.2MHz) but was waiting the best moment of the day (that damn electricity bill won't take me over!).

Cheers!

7970Ghz ed vs GTX780



Well I can beat out a single 780 with CF but other then that, this card smokes

AMD will answer the call again soon personally i'm fine for a good while

Rumour's have it that AMD 9*** will be up there with Nvid's 780's but how much truth there is to it we're yet to find out. Would be nice though to enit.

9000?
Nevermind 9000 series only

 

[ganjiry]

I maybe wrong but i'm pretty sure i read it as 9. I can't remember where i read it though and it was only a couple of days ago..
I'll try to find it again.

Edit. This isnt the article i read before but it gives the same info https://forums.geforce.com/default/...ibly-launching-this-october-ndash-may-not-be/

 

[Solarstarshines]

I retracted my statement I agreed 9000 series

 

[ganjiry]

I missed the edit

 

[Solarstarshines]

Currently my system is at it's maximum potential unless I decide to purchase another 7970 :shock:

Probably not they'll last for a long while atleast 3 years

I would say by then you could compare them to the 560ti lol with the other stuff that has been released

I doubt any games will be that hard on a gpu in the next few years either I remember my Nvidia 7300 GT lasted a long time and played Left4dead2 when it came out and I think that was like 09 ???

4 years ago and sold it to a buddy for 50 bucks I even overclocked it card was good to me

 

[ganjiry]

Yeah it's mad how much they're improving on performance and yeah you're right no game now or for a good while will max out today's gpu's. It's still nice to have them though

 

[Solarstarshines]

Yeah buddy just got the UPS Tracking number my 2nd Gpu is on it's way home

Depending on how I feel about the one I get I might send back the one I am using back as well

Visiontek approved me to do so ,I even asked over the phone so I am good to go

I think I figured out why my voltages were not reading right. Every time I make a run to try and catch Paul, I get a couple of bluescreens. When I started I would set the BIOS to default and start again after every BSOD. Then I got lazy and would just change the voltages. Tonight I started trying to figure it out again, so I ran some at the voltage settings going for 5.4 again. BSOD again. Then I looked at every BIOS setting, and low and behold after one of them my BIOS enables C-state. I checked a few times and it happens every time. So then I reset and ran a reasonable OC and what do you know, a more accurate Voltage reading. Lesson learned...don't get lazy. Here a screen of a 5GHZ run

Nice 1 chap That was a quick turn around for a change and a good result that they're will ing to replace the other too.

I recieved my be quiet! Silent PSU & Cooling for your PC on Monday but i'm waiting on some red/black bitfenix sleeved cable's to arrive today before installing. I've never seen a psu with so many options.

Nice oc Doug
I've been pretty lazy when it comes to overclocking in the past

:roflmao: I'm sick of the word mate and try not to use it anymore as i found myself repeating it a lot enit

Yeah i got lazy with that too lol but the problem is it makes me sound/look a right dumb **** which i'm far from. Too much bud and not enough effort

I just saw this on Ivy-E, looks like Sept 10 for release.

According to Intel, its "most tunable, capable and downright devastating PC processor ever" provides a 5 percent boost in compute-intensive performance over the Core i7-3970X, is 7 percent faster for 3D gaming, and 10 percent faster for 3D modeling.

But if you "tune" it, it voids the warranty. Crazy people are Intel.
