Evening Ladies and Gentlemen,

I've just purchased myself a new computer, 3930K, Asus Rampage Extreme, 780TI Classified and 16GB of ram. I was wondering whether you could give me some insight on my PC's performance.

I used these settings for Unigine 4.0
DX11
High
Normal
Disabled
Disabled
Off
1920X1080

And scored 2870 is that decent? My GPU's core was 1150 and the memory was 3500.
 
Hi Snodge, we have a heaven 4 bench here in the gpu section. Id link it for you but I'm on my very poor phone. But it should give you a ballpark figure to compare.:)
 
i7 4770k stock
Gigabyte 780ti Windforce OC stock (1163 core 1749 mem)
16GB RAM 2400

Same settings result





These are on your settings if you compare against the link remember they are different settings and will be a lot lower.
 
Throughout the benchmark my GPU isn't consistently at 99-100 percent it's dropping off causing 2900 score.

My 3930K is getting too 91 degrees on all cores even though it's watercooled? :(
 
You need to re-apply thermal paste & reseat CPU heatsink again or check the water pump is working, im air cooled and never hit above 60 degrees, normal temp is average 28 degrees

I'm no expert on watercooling Snodge, but that is indeed very high for the CPU. Any air bubbles in your loop? Id suggest asking in watercooling sub forum as the guys who frequent it will be better sorted to advise on that aspect of your setup. Haswell cpu's can run hot on synthetic cpu stress tests. But not so in a bench like this which is more gpu dependent.
 
Hi it's one of these - Intel Liquid Cooling Solution TS13X CPU Heat Exchanger with Pump

I bought the PC second hand. I'm not entirely sure myself :) I've never touched watercooling.
 
What connector do you have the cooler pump hooked up to? Ideally it should be on a connector that delivers a constant 12v to avoid dropping down. A PWM connector such as a cpu fan one will vary the voltage to any device connected to it. Try the pump on a fan header with speed control disabled, or run it via a molex-fan adapter cable.
 
Yeah The CPU is at stock 3.2Ghz it's idling at 49C.

Let me have a look :)

Also GPU idle 35 Degrees then like 80 under load? :D
 
49c at stock seems hot tbh, id expect mid 30's even on an oc'd system mate. That's with low fan speed based on my own experience. Let us know how you get on.
 
GPU load temps seem about right for a normal ambient (20c)
CPU sounds like either the fan is off or the pump is done, hence redic load temps on something that just doesn't load the CPU.

What's your load temps on the CPU when gaming, or better still on something like R15?
 
That's its boost clock, that's because Heaven is so light on the CPU. It's running stock.
Those coolers are pretty meh, good enough for a stock 3930k. Temps under heavy load (normal ambient, so so fan speed) should be 60c give or take.

You shouldn't be running 49c idle temps unless, pumps probably done.
 
That's not water ;) :D
If you want peace of mind, then a big lump of metal with a fan blowing air over it is always best, 1 point of failure.

Reseat the cooler, fresh paste and see if that cures the problem?
 
I don't have those things to hand Tonester, I really need to test it with another cooler.

Paste could easily be the problem. If I take the CPU cooler out the liquid inside will stay? If you guys can confirm this I'll go repaste and set it now.
