I guess it's pretty average for these chips. Except some special samples all other need 1.5-1.6V for 4.8-5.0GHz. 5820k that I saw are usually worse. On the other hand 4.9GHz 5820K is about as fast as [email protected] in most tests. At least my chip needed ~1.6V for that so hard to say I'm happy about 5820K. Except DDR4 platform for tests I see no difference.

I got ADATA XPG v3 DDR3-2933 some days ago and 4790K back from RMA so now I'm checking how it's working. So far I can say I got much worse CPU than I had before. For 4.7GHz it needs ~1.3V while my last one needed ~1.22V.
Memory itself isn't best from what I was testing but I just made it work @3250 13-15-15 1.75V in HyperPi 32M. For some reason I had to switch motherboards to make it work. On ASUS M7G it couldn't pass any longer test @3200+ 1.8V+ while on GB Z97X-SOC it's working pretty stable at lower voltage. This is actually pretty interesting as before RMA this board couldn't make more than ~3300 while now I can make up to 3800 on air ( result is in Team Cup competition ).
 
O well, it is all good, see what cold brings to the table then I can start doing what I bought this for , 3D

Wish I could get my hands on one of those 6GHz ES chips though, they are downright insane

They look like a nice kit especially on the SOC

Congrats WD! Glad to see you got the beast fired up, I think you'll like it for 3D's.

I can't wait to get this GTX580 on the x99.

Beautiful test ride Witchdoctor! Can't wait until you get everything dialed in

Finally had a really fun benchy day! Could definitely improve on some stuff but wanted to get through all the 2d's in one session (didn't have time to get to a couple of them). Couple of cups for not many points but these were decent:

Was even able to beat my old max fsb :) http://hwbot.org/submission/2639135

If the chip starts tomorrow night will go for some higher voltage ;P

An Asus P5N-E SLI (LGA775). I bought it and it was in need of repair, I repaired it and got it working fine. Then I noticed the team didn't have a reference clock submission for this model, so figured I'd have a go with it before I sell the board off.

Not a bad board, but the excessive vDroop is a bit annoying. I set 1.20v in the BIOS but end up with 1.14-1.16v in the OS under load usually. Also, the temp sensor for the CPU is borked, always shows 36°C for core 0 and 37°C for core 1 in the OS whether I'm using my TRUE 120 or the stock cooler. The temp sensor seems to work fine in the BIOS though, for some unknown reason.

Also the southbridge chipset gets rather hot under a load (even when not overclocked), I was seeing 120-135°F/48.89-57.22°C under load.

I have noticed this on my ASUS M3A790T-DLX.

What causes the SB to get so hot?

At first I thought it was bad TIM, but if that were the case then the sink wouldn't be hot. I don't know the sctual temp as there's no sensor(that I'm aware of) but it is very warm to the touch. my solution so far has been the traditional drop a fan on it. It would be nice to know what loads the SB so much though.

I was thinking about undervolting it to find it's low volt stability point. I'f I'm not mistaken it's currently getting 1.20v-1.26v. Any thoughts?

What is funny ( or not especially for me ) 8 core haswell is not heating up much more than 6 core. Actually the same OC is possible on 6 and 8 cores at the same voltage.

Btw you are losing memory capacity again. I guess timings are too tight. On the other hand who cares when performance isn't dropping in benchmarks ;) ... I can only say that you may notice performance drop to 8GB or below. 4GB is already running like single channel. For some reason 12 or 16GB give about the same performance ( at least on my board ).

How high you have to set voltage for 3000 CL12 ?
 
Have them running at 1.65 , sorry about the huge pics

yea it is kinda all over the place each time I re boot ?

if I can keep 12GB on WIN 7 and Vista for 3D I will be happy, Nick put another BIOS out so will be trying that soon.

Already on the third BIOS and the AsRock site has none of them, ? go figure
 
On the website there are official releases. In the past most manufacturers were posting betas, now almost none of them :/ I'm waiting for new bios for my MSI.

From other new stuff, today I have a chance to play some with new double sided 2x4GB TridentX 2400 CL9 kit ( manufactured in Sept 2014 ). So far passed HyperPi32M @2666 10-12-12 1.65V. 2 new 2400 CL10 kits were really bad. One couldn't run on stock and the other one couldn't boot above ~2500.
 
Just sold a set of those, still have the 2600 Cas 10 set though :)

Guess the newer kits are not binned as well, are they even doubled sided ?

Talked to a friend, he said the latest OCF BIOS was only some C-State stuff , so nothing that is going to help I am guessing
 
Yes I was surprised that G.Skill released TridentX on double sided 4GB modules. These chips were not manufactured since the end of 2012. I didn't check what exactly is inside but it's still Samsung in all 3 kits that I was testing last days.

No idea. As far as I know in most platforms the Southbridge covers things like the graphics subsystem and graphics bus speeds. Which makes it odd that mine was so hot, considering I wasn't doing anything graphically intensive, I was just sitting at the desktop running Prime 95.

On mine it's so hot because it has no heatsink, came that way from the factory on this model (low-end model, not a lot of money put into design or implementation of cooling the motherboard).

I was just checking mine with a handheld infrared temperature probe/scanner.
 
Sick,

Metal, your an animal bro ..... :thup:

Nice work

Have some cold coming Friday, Hoping for some results soon
