I've been putting together a second gaming pc with some older bits I have such as my Asus z170i pro gaming m-itx motherboard.
The problem I'm having is that the power LED didn't seem to be working on my Cooler master NR200P case. Upon further investigation with a multimeter, it seems like there...
I'd love to go - but it's a 9hr round trip from Norwich so a bit of a trek. One day I will come along though - PCs and cars all in one place, how could i resist!
Some solid info here - many thanks for that!
I have had some time to play about with the PC this weekend - I flipped the fan config into push rather than pull and have set LLC to 5 and VCore to 1.32v. This was previously unstable, but it seems perfectly happy at the moment running at 4.2GHz. I...
Yeah, the graphs were only there to show the ramp up - although i don't know how useful 30s is for that as you say. I left the stress test running for 30 mins and it was pretty much locked at 84°C. It seems that I lose stability under load almost immediately when I adjust the LLC or vcore - but...
So the temp gets up pretty fast then gradually increases for a bit then levels out around 84°C. Here's the graphs of it ramping up:
It is especially warm today - probably 24 or 25 inside for reference.
This is:
100.0 base clock
x42 multi
vcore set to auto (currently @ 1.312v - 1.328v...
Update: I updated the bios and dropped the overclock down to 4.2GHz - now seeing max temps of about 70°C. So yes, it appears its a bit of a lemon when it comes to OC. Am still going to try reconfiging the rad/fan setup.
And yep! A 240mm would fit like a glove up there! I'm half contemplating a...
It's probably about 12 months old so I wouldn't expect any issues from it really.
More quality information that I will absolutely try as soon as I get the chance - I'm way too tired tonight.
I'm also going to try flipping the fan on the rad round.
It will be pushing cold air from outside...
Those voltages were with the XMP pushing it up to 4.6GHz
My bios isn't up to date, can't remember how up to date it is. Will update that tonight and see if that makes a difference.
I have also tried dropping the base clock down to 100 (so a manual oc essentially of 4.5GHz compared to the 4.6GHz oc that XMP set) which takes maybe 1 or 2°C of difference under load
CPU-Z is saying 1.392 V (fluctuating up to 1.408 V) under full load.
I have just tried tweaking some of the settings in the bios for my ASUS Z170 and the results weren't great:
Starting values:
BCLK: 103
CPU Core Ratio: 45
LLC: Auto
CPU Core/Cache Voltage: Auto
1st change:
LLC: level 5
CPU...
So with v26.6 (x64) I see temps around 88 running Small FFTs and 80 running Blend (CPU still hitting 100% each time).
Obviously these are significantly lower than when I was running v28.1 (x64). They are higher than I would expect on water at stock + XMP, but still much closer to acceptable...
So I cleaned up the CPU and the cold plate, reapplied the TIM (Coolermaster E1 is what I have to hand) and still hitting around 100°C under full load. I checked the pump's connection to the CPU header on my Asus Z170i Pro Gaming while I was in there and that looked fine. I assume the pump is...
I've recently noticed that my CPU was hitting pretty extreme temperatures under full load.
Idle: 28.25°C (it's pretty warm today)
100% Load: 98.75°C
I stressed the CPU using Prime95 and monitoring temps using CAM.
My PC is a 6700K (running at stock speeds) being cooled with a Corsair H80i...
Finally got round to taking a few better pictures - dialled the RGB back for those who who can't stand the things - so here's a sort of fire and ice theme :)
Thanks for the feedback.
So cutting... Yep, the side panel is plexiglass and has a thickness of 3mm. I cut that using a Dremel straight line tool (it does circles also) - you might just about be able to make it out in the picture above.
Technique is key here. I bought another piece of acrylic...
I have been slowly modding and changing my PC but the one thing that has largely stayed the same is my Prodigy case. I fell in love with m-itx form factor PC's 3 or 4 years ago and this was the case I needed to have when starting to get back into PC building.
I am now pretty much done with it...
