Hi 8pack

I have a 7700k cpu. My motherboard is a Gigabyte Gaming 7 Z170.

The motherboard automatically dishes out 1.3 vcore to the CPU when running at stock speeds. I want to find the lowest stable voltage for the CPU at stock speed. I have managed to get the system stable at 1.18 vcore. I tried changing vcore to 1.08 and system did not like it.

My question is, from your experience testing these CPUs, what is the lowest atainable Vcore to maintain a stable system on a good chip?

Thanks for your time,

Henry

I dont test stock so I am not sure. I test 4.8ghz +

But for lowest voltages me better CPU's can do 5ghz stable at 1.15-1.17v. This is only around 4% of CPU's tested though.

Jesus 5Ghz at 1.15-.17v thats amazing! My 4770K needs 1.19v for 4.7Ghz delid under custom WC!

You say thats 4% of all tested though, roughly how many have you tested? Would these be considered golden?

When your testing what cooling do you use? Custom water?

I am running my CPU with Vcore set to 1.170v in the BIOS. According to HWiNFO64 this results in a Vcore range of 1.092v to 1.164v. Need to put a multimeter on the voltage rad points to verify this.

I also note that HWiNFO64 provides Core VID readings. Am i correct in interpreting this as the voltage each core is requesting, and that the Vcore reading is what is being delivered?

Thanks

300 yes these are Golden. They area ll World Record on LN2 with the best being like 7.2ghz Super Pi 32m and 7.1 for 3D.

7.2Ghz! LN2? or LHe? Either way that would smash the current top spot! Any plans to submit scores again? Be awesome to see you back at it.

Wondering if you're going to be selling binned chips on the site. Like you did with the 4770K L310 batch?
