***Intel i7 4790K Owners thread***

[setter]

Temps were a bit lower running cinebench R15. Turbo fan profile set in Ai suite, 61-63-63-58. Gonna try p95 small fft for a comparison to the 4770k at stock.

 

[wazza300]

its still good temps,you might improve if you tweaked/lowered volts

 

[setter]

Well p95, (ver 28) is a definite no go even at stock, its hotter than my old 4770k. Vcore @1.264 @load. temps maxed at 90-93-92-85. The old chip maxed at 76-76-75-67 at stock, load voltage of 1.248. Yes DC has a higher stock speed and voltage, but crickey this takes the mick.

+1 Great idea. Removes the chance of getting a terrible clocker

This.

 

[wazza300]

tried lowering voltage? to match old chip?

 

[faceman123]

if anyone get 5ghz chip i'd happily buy it off them for 100 above rrp

Im gonna give that a try yes, as auto will use too much anyway. Also possible that the paste i used is maybe past its best.

 

[wazza300]

seems like it if others have been much lower

Dropped vcore to 1.1v in bios, cpu input voltage on 1.800. Lower on vcore resulted in a 0x124 bsod, upping vcore and leaving input on auto led to a blackscreen at logon.

 

[wazza300]

idk with haswell,usually its a lower level llc and a negative offset to undervolt stock v

but those chips are diff,ive read they are more stable using offset aswell,due to revised vrm power

just try a lower level llc

 

[setter]

Running XTU on the above results in 0x124 bsod. Upped vcore to 1.200, (1.216 at load. LLC on auto) runs XTU and passes. Temps at 64-64-64-60. So a bit lower than auto settings. Ram left at 1333mhz for the time being.

 

[wazza300]

seems around the 1.2v mark then for stock,1.212-1.216

I see that the devil canon chips back in stock tomorrow or Wednesday be interesting to see if these are the later batch of cpu's

I have notise also that the dc chip score higher phys score in 3dmark 11 compared to i7 4770k at same clock speed erm.

 

[setter]

Seems so, currently doing a run of Asus real bench and load voltage is the same, max temp of 67c.

It's back in stock now wazza. oem and retail.

 

[Tonester0011]

my stuff will come tomorrow
Shame i wont get time till Sunday to mess around

 

[wazza300]

oem will have passed under many beedy eyes

 

[setter]

Real bench at current settings.

Spoiler

Could someone running @ 4.7Ghz do a quick SuperPI 1M and 32M run please and post the times. I decided not to hold out for this, couldn't really justify the cost. Luckily the cheap 4670k I picked up clocks reasonably well.

 

[wazza300]

super pi depends on memory speed/timings also,you can improve things a lot
