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

yh,maybe 2400mhz ram speed vs my 2133mhz helps? idk,they are faster clock for clock tho than ivy

i scored 83k point in realbench though

4970k @4.7ghz corsair pros 2400mhz 16gb c11-13-13-31-1

84-85000 ive heard is a ballpark kinda figure for a 4.5ghz 4770k, just checked my last entry on that thread.

83975

cheers, testing the new chip now.

no!! must resist!!!

You can have one of mine seeing as i have two now effectively.

 

[wazza300]

i have to fight the urge!!!

think skylake,think skylake

i have no room either im full with bits n bobs lying around i need a clearout

Lol, least if i did delid one and mess it up, ive got a spare. Tbh i should maybe have just stuck with the old one. Though it was toasty even in games. Think this one will run much cooler for that use. Real bench run on the 4790k @4.5ghz. Cpu fans on max speed of 2350 rpm.

Spoiler

Cpu cache on theese must default higher as it's the only explanation i can think of for the higher score. The run i posted above was 4.5 cpu and XMP on ram, same as just now. 2400mhz, 10-11-11-31, 2T.

Glad I just picked up 2nd hand 3960x.

Pity these chips didn't live up to the hype.

Theyre a bit of a mixed bag on here from what ive noticed. Some run hot at stock, overclocking is hit and miss as well. Jury is still out on mine tbh.

X79 is a different kettle of fish my 4930k did 5ghz i sold it to a good friend. But single core performance haswell comes on top,
Sli or crossfire 4930k kicked ass

They might not live up to what intel said 5ghz + on air but at end of the day people that had the i7 4770k that could not get past 4.2ghz these are a nice upgrade. Seems like the dc chips hitting 4.7ghz a lot which is nice overclock.

Myself little disappointed because I really wonted dc to be a beast of an overclocker but seems like for me not worth upgrade because I have a i7 4770k that clocks to 4.7ghz stable.

If i can get 4.7 in with decent temps ill be happy enough tbh. My 4770k was a very hot chip.

they was never going to be 5ghz plus on air. if they was going to be that intel would have been screaming all over the net at how much faster they where.

as with anything if people are screaming about their own product and others are you know its good . when they are quiet about it especially at launch you know why .

really hope you get a good one setter i know your quest has been long

Bit early to say tbh. As it is currently, its matching/beating my 4770k at the same speed in some benchmarks, and running a bit cooler when doing so. Mid - high 70's was the norm on the old chip. Mid - high 60's on this one.

Mine runs great at 4.5ghz. Got up to 4.7 earlier today, but though 4.5 is just perfect for me. It's very fast even at stock. I couldn't be happier

You've done pretty well mate. Good clocker and cool running too. Nice one.

heres a comparison to 4770k @ 4.7ghz

so i updated bio to see if that help and updated some program for the motherboard . bios for board is now f6 . I still really new to all this as never really had to overclock or change volt on a cpu before so any help welcomed . I will however say i find it really interesting

here what I got showing just now .

motherboard hardware monitor and realtemp and cpu-z

Spoiler

better pic of realtemp and cpu-z reading

Spoiler

motherboard auto tuning results

Edit...I have since follow what $ilent said to do in a mail on a other forum when I ask them how they sorted high stock voltage. Can put New pic of results later if people want to see
