Just after some help. I have a delidded 8700k which i got from overclockers about 3 years ago. It was a binned cpu which they added liquid metal under the ihs. Everything has been rock solid until the other day where i noticed one of my cores is 20c hotter than the others on idle! I stripped...

I have the 3 rad fans pulling in cold air and one 140 exhausting out the case. Does this need changing then? Do you think the rad fans should be exhausting air out rather than pulling in? Cheers for the advice

I Have 3 fans on top pulling cold air in through the rad. I only have it setup in a pull config. Temps seem pretty good so far. I was you going to put a 140 on the front panel but might leave as is for now

Looks really good that! Nice one. What are your temps like at 5.1?

stress testing max temps are around 68 , and whilst gaming around 4 hours of Arma 3 which is quite CPU intensive, it peaks around 55. The room was pretty cold tho Had to up the Vcore to 1.408 as it wasn't fully stable in Prime at 1.395

It takes 1.395vcore for 5.1 to be stable. Got the cache at 4.9. Think that's the limit of this cpu. 5.2 needs a ton more vcore so gonna stick at 5.1 :)

OK so quick update - I scrapped that red tubing as it was a complete PITA to work with and I think it was oversized or something Anyway I changed for some black ek tubing and re routed it a little bit. I have a few questions regarding the overclock. I haven't overlocked in a long while now...

Thanks for the tip dude. I'll give that a go, I think that will be much better too.

Yer it does mess things up when you need to do stuff like get the car serviced or go doctors etc. The money is definitely one of the main reasons I do nights and that I get get every other Friday off meaning I get a long weekend.

Been working nights for 10 years now and love it. There's something about being awake all night that makes work much easier. I struggle to sleep sometimes but on average I get about 4-5 hours sleep a day.
