***Intel i7 4790K Owners thread***

Ah right, I thought it was purely cpu dependant.

 

[wazza300]

it plays a part yh,but so does memory,maybe someone can post results

 

[PCZ]

Could someone running @ 4.7Ghz do a quick SuperPI 1M and 32M run please and post the times. I decided not to hold out for this, couldn't really justify the cost. Luckily the cheap 4670k I picked up clocks reasonably well.

Your running at 4.7 do the tests yourself.

You have haswell these are haswell, scores with the same OS and memory will be identical.

You can shave so much time of Pi with good memory and timings. You just have to look at 8packs 4Ghz superpi competition, big difference between people using the same chips, same clocks just different OS and memory.

Contemplating sending this un back, dont like to really tbh but it seems a bit hot. Even dropping vcore down at stock still results in 80c+.

Gutted.
Seems to be a lottery on silicon and a lottery on paste under the hood. Some seem to be cool running (like my 3770k) and some seem hot, likewise for clocking.

Two of us have already delided, what does that tell you ?

One of mine is getting the chop this weekend, really not happy with these temps and i know its the crap under the IHS.

True, if i avoid anything like p95 etc i suspect it will run cooler than my 4770k. About to test a quick n dirty 4.5ghz oc, same vcore of 1.200.

 

[wazza300]

its like trying to polish a turd with this crap paste

 

[rpggamesplayer]

So I bit the bullet and ordered one along with an Asrock Extreme4 and a 450D

Getting all excited now

Welcome to the club

 

[McstylisT]

Not good to hear guys.

I'm sure with a little tinkering you can exceed your clock with 4770 but with lower volts. I can see you getting 4.7ghz setter

Loooool thats why i had to delid i could not hold myself back,
I miss the way sandybridge loved water

 

[wazza300]

you did a good job rpg,it the best thing you can do to these paste filled chips

Delidding so easy with a vice that if I ordered the dc tomorrow I would test then delid if was half decent chip or better.

4.5 oc, ram at 2400mhz, 10-11-11-31, 2T 1.65v. Ran cinebench and intel XTU.

Cinebench.

Intel XTU.

That's exactly what i did

 

[wazza300]

I score 872 cinebench @4.8ghz 3770k

stock 4790k eats my chip,my max temp was 65c on one core

 

[rpggamesplayer]

Real bench at current settings.

Spoiler

How long is the benchmark run?

That in cinebench? My 4770k scored 911 in it on the bench thread here at 4.5ghz iirc.

@rpg, 10 mins ono for real bench. About to try it now with the oc in place. 83000 something was my best on the 4770k, though i had cache clocked on that and ram at 2600mhz.
