Post all your questions or any issues you may encounter with your bundles here.

I suggest using the AIO cooler plug and the two fan headers labelled CPU and CPU OPT for the Pump and fans respectively. These are located at the top of the board to the right of the VRM heatsink.

This previous thread covers cooler mounting and other basic assembly items

Power up the bundle with a USB stick in hand.

Please flash to this Bios first using the EZ Flash within tools and the USB stick:

The profiles to OC the 8Pack bundle are here just load the CMO from a USB drive in the OC Profiles section within Tools Tab in Bios:
4000mhz mems https://drive.google.com/open?id=1me49_EDssLdarn01aC8AANt_CK5691ET
3800mhz mems https://drive.google.com/open?id=13wo_nS4ZIP9byA4kORINV4JJZ8tdGtlt
3600mhz mems https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZTZjpRM1JjOA0RIwT99MtiGIUqYyvjzs/view?usp=sharing

Any questions post up!!!

Not a question, sorry, but. Following this thread.

Bought the 8086k bundle but won't get to touch it until I get back from France on Saturday. :(

Going to put it straight under my EK supremacy block and bench it whilst the gpu is still air-cooled for a comparison against my i5-7600k which is in a cpu only loop then I can get the gpu under water as well. :D

Looking forward to seeing how far I can push it all on timespy and firestrike whilst all in the water loop.
 
Well this is not the best cpu for these benches although gts are high because of single core performance the physics and combined will be low. This bundle more suite heaven or valley type benches..for big scores disable HT and clock cache and memory high....
 
Asked a million times before, but any issues with the proposed airflow below?

Radiator won't fit at the top, so front only mount with fans either side pulling air in and exhausting through the rear/top.

should be fine. worth setting custom fan curve so when you know your GPU is working, airflow increases based on that more then CPU - but thats just me
 
Question regarding fans and connectors - the motherboard has the following (6 in total):

1 x CPU Fan connector(s) (1 x 4 -pin)
1 x CPU OPT Fan connector(s) (1 x 4 -pin)
3 x Chassis Fan connector(s) (3 x 4 -pin)
1 x H_AMP fan connector

My radiator has 4x 120mm fans and the case has 2x 120mm exhaust fans. Obviously it makes sense for the radiator fans (effectively CPU fans) to be regulated by the CPU - increasing/decreasing speed depending on load etc. At present I can only connect 2 CPU fans to the motherboard - unless I buy 2x PWM splitter cables, therefore enabling 4 fans to be connected to the 2 connectors? The 2 exhaust fans can then be connected to the chassis fan connectors as normal.

To summarise:

2x radiator fans connected to CPU_FAN with 2 way splitter
2x radiator fans connected to CPU_OPT with 2 way splitter
2x exhaust fans connected to CHASSIS_FAN connectors

Hopefully that makes sense?!

Really you probably want the chassis fans also speed controlled, and the CPU might as well control this too. I'm guessing the bios will do this automatically.

Have you considered any intake or are you intentionally going for all exhaust?
 
That setup looks fine. Although I would put the rad in the roof.Put fans for rads on cpu fan and cpu fan opt.

Start 3800mhz mems.. Almost 99.9% working on all cpu..

The 4x 120mm fans connected to the radiator at the front of the case are intake. The fan at the rear and the top are exhaust.

Looks similar to mine - the radiator with fans won't fit at the top, it hits the memory DIMM's.

Yeah, not enough clearance at the top. There was barely enough at the front considering it's a extra thick rad. 60mm of clearance with 63mm of stuff squashed in!

Fans are both in CPU fan through a splitter that I repurposed as an extension.
 
All set up, seems to work on all the profiles.
I'm just a little concerned that no matter what the Vcore is set to, Intel decides I need VID at 1.42-1.48 for everything. I understand that it changes depending on what it needs and the Vcore is just where 'I' would like it but is this really going to be okay?
If I select high performance power settings, it never goes below 1.42ish.
On default settings it stays down most of the time at 1.15v though it does still decide 1.4v is the way to go occasionally.

My only experience in the past was playing with the Vcore settings on the Hero IV, there are a few more voltage settings on this board.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I loaded the 4000MHz profile and it set the core voltage to 1.35. 38-45 idle and higher in games, but nothing too high. 30 seconds of Prime95 and the cores were hitting 90+! I lowered the voltage to 1.312 and set the radiator fans to 100% instead of dynamic - i'll run a few tests and see how it fares.
 
I've come to build this system today and I cannot get the board to power on. I get the board lights when I apply power but the Start button and bridging the power pins does not power on.

I have tried 2 PSUs and all combinations of everything installed down to nothing at all and I get the same outcome.

The only thing that isn't ideal is that I am building out of a case in order to test the system, although I've never had an issue with that before.

I have managed to update the BIOS to the latest version but no difference.

Any ideas?

Actually almost the same as I did. I loaded up 4000MHz, fans at 100% (they are not loud at all but I will still swap to my Noctua ones later to try) was not happy with the temps after a few tests. I lowered the Vcore to 1.3v but it actually didn't make any difference to what voltage the chip was actually getting under load.
Decided to have a go at delidding and it's dropped about 6c idle and 15-20c under load depending on the test which I am over the moon with. Prime could get it to hit 97c, now it's 77c, Realbench/Aida it is about 15c lower then it was.

As to my original question, I just looked at both my older PC's and the VID seems to ramp up massively on those too, an they have been running (mostly) fine for 5 & 8 years so maybe it's not so bad. Possibly HW monitor is giving some strange readings too?
