Never mind ran cinebench and saw CPU go to 5000.00MHz :)

I just realized that I never turn off a led that is where I indicated in the photo. it's red and you can see a lot.
Is there no way to turn it off?
It's always on: -S

Use high performance power plan windows and cpuz to check frequency.

Obviously sold out over the weekend. Back orders shipped today and more 5ghz up in-stock.

Is there any down side to using high performance all the time? I note that it stops the processor clocking down from its max multiplier - but power usage is still affected by load.

The difference at idle between Balanced (800mhz 8700K @ 1.31V) and Performance (5000mhz 8700K @ 1.31V) is 3W.
 
Getting my 5.0ghz binned with the maximus hero later today - Any exact BIOS settings I need to adjust to ensure the 5.0ghz OC is stable?
Sorry if this has already been asked.

Hi Guys,

Been a while since my last upgrade and these 8700's look pretty great so am thinking of grabbing an 'easy to install' bundle to fit inside this case. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phanteks-enthoo-pro-mid-tower-case-with-window-white-ca-016-pt.html
I'll be doing mostly VR and Music Production and am currently on a i7-2600, 980ti with 16gb and looking to add a 1080ti later on.

Sorry but I am totally lost on these new chipsets does anyone have a good link explaining the differences?
Also I'm not a big overclocker, so wondering if one of these bundles would be overkill for me or would it be better considering I'll be using a Vive and a lot of heavy music software?
Also how easy are these bundles to install exactly?

Thanks and sorry if this is the wrong thread for this type of Question.
 
New Taichi BIOS out today with updates to ME and micro code. Will test it soon regarding the AVX bug. Just a lot of settings to write down first before I can upgrade.

Edit: AVX bug is still there. Same micro code revision as well. Waste of time.
