Called it.

I'm a bit confused, can someone help me here.

I just ordered a retail 4790k, I'm currently using an MSI z87 G45 gaming motherboard. Am I going to need a bio's update?

Cheer's.

yh,so update to latest bios (it should say support for devils canyon) first before you sell your old cpu

Okay cheer's I wondered as it says bio's 1.0 in the link and I figured that was the first. But at the end of the day I haven't got a clue so I'll do it like you said, Thanks.

You can watch the whole event here, it takes 8 mins for the video to load (countdown) but it works.

I posted this in the motherboard section:

The only thing is that MSI did have a tendency to cheap out on a number of their lower end motherboards in the past. Hopefully,due to the semi-integrated VRMs of Haswell this is a lesser issue now.

Intel Core i7-4790K overclocked to 5.5GHz on air, to 6.3GHz with LN2

Don't trust anything that doesn't come from regular users... if i'm not mistake the engineering samples of Ivy were very good as well and retail units turned out way worse...

tbh we know how its going to be in reality

4.4-4.6 .

if they did that oc or 5ghz with ease wed know that now ! it would be everywhere.

Hence in waiting on some of such reviews before committing to buying one.

The "amateurs" did 5.0-5.39GHz.

I say amateurs as you never really can tell also no idea if the CPU's are selected or just random retail samples.

Think i'll be waiting to see what results people get with them first.

My 4770k isn't the best but it will do until proper overclocks start coming out. I'll also hold off deliding it too

I presume that z87 has been confirmed as supporting the 4790k judging by a few posts in this thread? (providing the mobo has a bios for it)

Have to say if 5GHz is possible on a non LN2 setup i'm a tad excited.

 

[~>Dg<~]

heres what will happen they do 5ghz with ease everyone buys them

4.4-4.6 for 95 percent as always

 

[setter]

Tbh id be happy with 4.4-4.6 and decent temps, unlike my chip in sig.

 

[~>Dg<~]

is it worth it for 200mhz?

 

[yoyo59]

not sure if DC is worth it.. hmm considering I got a new i7 4770k for £179.. DC is nearly £100 more..

 

[setter]

is it worth it for 200mhz?

It's not for the sake of 200mhz mate, it's more for the drop in temps. How does 80c in games grab ya, under one of the best air coolers you can buy..

 

[wazza300]

u should delid it,

 

[setter]

u should delid it,

Tbh wazza, i think i should bin it. Had it at stock a few days ago, even then it gets into the 70's when gaming. This is with stock fan setting via asus fan xpert, temps will drop to 70 ono with the fans at full speed, (x2 2350rpm corsair PWM sp's) which are quite loud. I figure if it's gonna hit more or less the same temps at stock as it does oc'd, i may as well run it oc'd and enjoy the speed benefit.

 

[smilertoo]

where do you get new 4770ks for £179 ?

If a 4790k can hit 4,5-4,6ghz on air using something like a Cooler master 212 evo without going into the 85+ degrees on average samples i might actually buy one as my current 4770k is not even stress test stable at 4,5 yet still hits the 90+ degrees celcius. Im sure there are worse samples out there (sadly) but i miss the days of 40-50% OCs on air.

good old times... I remember the e4300, e2000 something... those were beasts!
