Agreed that is an absurd price (4 x £319.99 = £1,279.96 and it's secondary/tertiary timings are optimised for dual channel). Looking for 64GB at around £850-900 that can do 4200 @ 19 in quad channel for Kubernetes whilst developing on X299. Then can have a profile disabling some cores/increasing overclock and running at 3200 @ 14 for games.
They can be on some motherboards, including the one I'll be using yes, but that's a lot of settings to tune by hand. If I'm paying that kinda money then not willing to spend a week or more of my life twiddling and testing. XMP all the way!
Worth baring in mind. Am genuinely thankful for your suggestion @james_2k. Am glad they are performing well and most likely look amazing!
4000 @ 17 is very impressive. May I ask who Silent Scope is? Have they done a guide, etc?Just tweaked my secondarys thanks to Silent Scope:
Yeah the F4-4200C19Q2-64GTZKK and F4-4200C19Q2-64GTZSW are meant to be b die too, no RGB, a discount for coming in an 8 pack (excuse the pun) and warranty isn't voided for replacing the heatsinks. Just looks like I'll have to wait and see if I can get a cheap import as there don't seem to be any suppliers in Europe, otherwise it'll be the 8 pack kit.
Will be using the ASUS ROG Rampage Extreme VI, will be pre-ordering at the end of the month. Looking to use a 7940X. The QVL lists the 4200 stuff http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb...17.1323617799.1503583225-899602935.1503583225
That's a real shame - hmm - gonna have to punch some numbers over the weekend to figure out the balance if working closer towards 4000 (unless even that is unrealistic to aim for on the 7940X).
Presumably running a delid on a decent water cooling rig isn't going to increase the chances significantly, it's more a silicon lottery kinda thing.
4K is fine. Yeah its silicon lottery in the IMC.
That explains it - my bad.
Was looking on Google. The 7900X pricing suggests that I'll be going to Overclockers to purchase. If there was a different retailer who'd leaked I'd be showing their page.
Thanks. Wasn't too keen on the Superflower 1600 aesthetic, but good to know you view it as outperforming the AX1500i. Am appreciative of your feedback, and the work of Der8auer in the Case King group has been great too.
If there's a chance of a binned 14 core that'd be amazing (even with an understandable premium). Wont hold you to it - but if there's a possibility then I'm game (looking to order beginning of November for CPU/RAM). The clocks for the individual cores on stock alone for the 7940X and it being the lowest cored CPU on the higher TDP make it a compelling choice. Plus it's on the £100 per core scale, just before the £150 per core units.
Appreciate for benchmarks/games timings + speed in unison matter. For my main Kubernetes workload it seems to be affected by speed the most.This was done with F4-3200C14Q-32GTZ with 1.4v and tight subs. 4133 also possible, but 4200 I've only managed to pass GSAT for 10 minutes after much tweaking. The system hangs, so getting beyond 4133 requires a good (or more aptly exceptional IMC as Ian has said already). No real point being up that high anyway as concessions need to be made to timings
If we are talking about £1600-1650 which can overclock the cores nicely too that's fine (the extra speed in quad channel is worth it for my workload). Have a DDM-X on preorder with OcUK so not fussed if it includes a delid or not (am delidding and helping others) but feel free to add another £50 if includes a conductonaut (and depending on the die size additional Minus pad) delid/relid. If we are talking higher then forgetaboutit. Can bring the order for the CPU forward to the end of September (30th) if required for the CPU (appreciate delivery will be later after binning) to show no time wasting.
