Depends on voltage. Early 70s to mid 70s stress testing none avx....

Gaming 60s.

ordered the 5ghz chip + taichi board + 240mm cooler,do your best mate ,cheers!

@8 Pack Any 5ghz ready to go out today?

8 Pack · 25 Oct 2017 at 17:41

No. I binned a lot more but they need delid and retest.

All we completed yesterday swallowed up by pre orders and still some pre orders to complete.

thefish · 25 Oct 2017 at 21:02

Any idea when you will get stock again for binning im number 4 in the que

8 Pack · 25 Oct 2017 at 22:12

We have stock I just said I did many today first stage. They need delid and retest now they have been sorted.

thefish · 25 Oct 2017 at 22:36

Thanks 8 pack for the update

Finally got my bundle installed. Enabled the 5.2 profile in the bios and seems to fine, except the CPU frequency is fluctuating between 4.9, 5.1 and 5.2. It's never still at 5.2m regardless of load.

Edit: Ran Cinebench R15, consistently getting 1651 pts, and not the 1700+ seen in the original screenshots

To nutkins make sure nothings running that doesn't need to be or updating in background as you'll lose a few points . what speed in memory at ?

3600, as per the profile.

Ran AIDA64 for a little. Clock sits at 4.8-4.9. Will never touch the 5.2GHz it should reach (as far as I'm aware, AIDA doesn't run AVX instructions).

8 Pack · 26 Oct 2017 at 07:28

In testing totally fine ofcourse. Check Realbench, heaven etc.. Disable avx offset if necessary just don't rum avx stress tests.

Check power plan in Windows, check igpu isn't installed by some windows update.

Yes it does, there's AVX instructions in the conventional CPU test routines as well as FPU, now. Which is slightly frustrating in my opinion as the CPU routines were a good starting point for non AVX clocks.

8 Pack · 26 Oct 2017 at 09:02

I don't use aida anymore because of this. Unless I am testing avx clocks for business sector.

Silent_Scone · 26 Oct 2017 at 13:41

I still use it to try and isolate cache problems but HCI is just as good at this, too

8 Pack · 26 Oct 2017 at 14:29

All bins in stock and on the website!!!

Rezz · 26 Oct 2017 at 14:52

May I ask, how many 8700Ks have you received so far in total?

Sorry for the late response. Yes, disabled AVX offset and this seems to have resolved it, though bus speed jumps around a lot but the core never seems to drop below 5.197, so I'm not going to moan about that, given it's negligible.

Just going to get on with my games now. Cheers.

Wasn't aware, my bad.

Urgh. CPU was hitting upwards of 80c in Destiny 2. NZXT CAM thought it'd be a good time to put stress on my CPU at the same time to collaborate the smart device's cooling (have the new H700i case).
