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.

What are you saying set up to fail lol

Not me mon, Intel does that, lol.

That's really no different than what most of us are running now. If you run ram faster than 1600, it voids the warranty. If you overclock it, it voids the warranty. Same ole, same ole. I think Paul should include in the SF Overclocker badge, "I void Warranties".

What's a Warranty?

The first casualty of over-clocking!

What's a Warranty?

It's that thing you use to get your CPU replaced when you overvolt it and it melts.

EDIT: In all seriousness, I don't think Intel enforces it. On OCN there have been at least 2 guys who have delidded theirs, lapped it then ran 2.0V through it and killed it. Both of them had it replaced by Intel.

Maybe Intel felt bad for the first batch but really temps are good for these chips

Bout time you broke 5GHz ain't it Solar? Lol.

Too hot to be Ocing right now i'll give it a go soon when the ac is on

I have been enjoying the Intel experience

Solar, I think you were talking about decoding video files a while ago. Have you done any and did your times improve very much? Do you have the quick sink turned on? I have never tried it.

Won't be long til winter now mate, then the proper overclocking can begin!

Here's a snip of the temps I get for the first few mins of switching the PC on in the cabin in the winter. It's so cold in there and stays that way for a good 30 mins until my little heater finally starts to warm it through.

 

[essenbe]

And you actually stay in the cabin with the computer? I think you have issues, Paul.

I don't have it on but I got the time down to about 20 to 15 sometimes less then that depending on the size

@ paul those are awesome temps

 

[paulpicks21]

And you actually stay in the cabin with the computer? I think you have issues, Paul.

The only issue I have is it takes 30 mins to warm up in there in the winter. Most times I go out, turn the heater on and go back out after it has warmed up. It's a bit too cold otherwise, but perfect for overclocking I guess

Edit: I do have a few other issues, but we won't go into that lol.

I want some of that cold weather this year......last winter, I wore shorts quite a bit

It's nice for a while Kelly, but it gets pretty annoying scraping the ice off 2 cars every morning. I do like cooler weather though, I suppose the ideal climate for me would be around 21C/70F in the day and down to a nice cool 10C/50F at night. I could live with that all year round.

I think the whole US went through that

that was a weird winter and round Turkey time ( Thanksgiving) hot as a mofo outside we used to do a Turkey bowl but im too old to play pad-less football and risk having a heart-attack at that chasing these youngins around lol
