OK, so I'm rendering out a Blender file that takes 18gb ram, rendering an after effects sequence, upscaling a video with media encoder from 1080p to 4k and playing some Rocket League while it does all it's stuff - this machine is nuts!

If anyone wants a play with the Blender file, it's here https://download.blender.org/demo/test/benchmark.zip - I rendered it in a shade under 23mins.

It will be interesting to see how the Noctua air coolers perform. I have the Arctic 33TR, and it's fine for stock but I certainly wouldn't even think of trying to overclock it.
 
i know some people on youtube have overclocked on air with limited results but then again some have limited results on aio aswell the limiting factor with aio is ill fitting block

Stop using that chip like that, every man and his dog knows it's crap being 10%ish behind a 5Gz 7700k at gaming :p

Nice. You could probably stream the game and have something getting compiled in the background too.

Most likely. I've not found anything that has been able to bring the system to it's knees yet. As long as there is available memory, I can run multiple instances of anything, just each instance gets correspondingly slower the more you run, but they all seem to share resources really well.


On another note, when I installed my EK waterblock, I used thier recommended "big blob" method. DO NOT DO THIS if you are using a full cover waterblock. I wasn't happy with the temps so I decided to remount - took the block off and found the coverage wasn't any better than my AIO! This time, I did a big cross with little vertical and horizontal lines - like a star if you will - used the whole Kryonaut 1g tube. Temps are MUCH better. These are the temp comparisons I took (x methods first, blob method second):-

Stock:-

Aida stress 53c 62c
Handbrake x3 51c 59c
Blender 51c 61c

4ghz @ 1.3v:-

Aida stress 73c 81c
Handbrake x3 65c 75c
Blender 66c 76c

I couldn't run any benches higher than 1.4v, now I can go upto 1.45v (doesn't really help though as there is a massive voltage wall at 4.05ghz, hence settling for 4ghz at 1.3v (will do 3.9 and 1.25v as well).

That Blender bench run if anyone else feels brave enough to have a go -

amiga is that 850 psu powerful enough or would i be better off with a 1000w im going to be running 1920x with 1 maybe 2 1080,s

For a single card, easy. Most I've seen it pull from the wall is 575watts and that was with the CPU @ 1.45v. At my daily 1.3v it's pulling a shade over 500 watts peak. If you want to sli, I would go with a 1000w psu.
 
Ok, so 24/7 overclock results are in. Been trying to find the right balance between voltage, power draw and heat.

I've settled on 4ghz, 1.325v vcore, 1.02v SOC, Standard LLC for vcore and SOC. This peaks temps at 74c in Prime 95 (small ffts) and 78c on the VRMs. Pulls 303watts for the cpu. OC confirmed stable with an 8hr Aida64 stress test and 10 hr Prime run (I know some will argue that isn't enough to confirm stable, but I've found that to be adequate in the past). Mem speed is 3466 16-18-18-18-36-75 @ 1.5vdimm. 1000% coverage on HCIMemtest.

Some observations, it will run 4.1ghz @ 1.425v vcore but temps reach 85c on Prime 95 where the cpu starts thermal throttling. It's perfectly fine for rendering in Blender and Handbrake etc though where temps don't exceed 80c. It will also boot and bench with 3600 ram at the same timings as above, but I can't get it beyond 130% HCImemtest coverage. I can't get it to crash in "daily" use at this mem speed though, including a 1 hr Blender render (the longest project I have) or a 2hr Adobe Premier/AE render workflow. I wonder if big coverage on HCImemtest is a bit overkill for TR?

One thing I've noticed about OC'ing TR is how "nicely" it handles failed overclocks. If you push it too far, it just hangs the system. A quick powerdown and powerup and you're back in business. No data corruption, no corrupt bios, not Wondows booting issues etc.

Hope that helps anyone dialling in thier TR OC :)

I managed to nuke windows with a failed OC :( This was on the memory though and not on the chip :)
