Thanks! Once I get that LMetal, I know it's gonna get better. Maybe with the EK nakid kit and my block, i'll probably have better temps also.

yep, it is when prime blend hits the small ffts like 8K, 12K or 10K, etc that temps jump up from 70's to 90's, ie 20C hotter. I can run prime small ffts for 2 minutes and that will be within 1-2C of prime blend temps for any run longer than 4 hours.


Ahh, otay. I knew the small fft's were the culprit, but what I didn't understand was why would the chip get soo hot when intel supposedly revamped the chip for that particular problem.
 
Well done Neb.
De-Lid is tempting but my chip is doing OK and just dont think I want to risk it.
I have lapped many a chip but De-Lidding is another matter. :)
I can see myself breaking it and then I would cry like a baby. :)
 
I'd be happy with 4.6

I run my 4770k at 4.4 @ 1.15v and it will still hit high 80s priming under a h100i
Gaming however in BF4 hardly ever passes 50c, turbo on
Congrats on delid ! I always thought about it but never have.
