The Kaby Lake 7700 and 7600 Owners Thread.

All I did was set the cpu ratio to 52 and wack the Vcore up to 1.35V, and set the cooling fan to 100% to get the one run at 5.2ghz. If someone could give me a few pointers/suggestions for other settings, I'll have a go at 5.3ghz. The H55 aio cooling is holding me back atm, temps have hit 84c and I'd like to be able to drop that back a few degrees, I've got H100i V2 arriving next week so that should help. I don't have the time to go through that overclocking guide posted earlier.
 
So on my i5 7600k its cooled by a Cooler Master Seidon 120, would that be good enough to overclock? or would i need a better water cooler or better air one? Never tried overclocking on intel. Im more than happy with its stock performance just wonderd for future reference
 
Currently rocking my i5 7600k @4.91Ghz (4.5 case) with 1.235V manual on BIOS with XMP (trident 3466hz) and rest on Auto. Asus Strix E board.
Passed 2 hours of Real Bench with CPUZ recording 1.248V being pulled at 72c ( silent loop block with EK 240SE and silent wing 3s)
Passed Intel Extreme stress test with average 1.24v and height 1.26v . will have to try LLC settings
Will push CPU higher after delid I think
 
My old Gigabyte z77 ud5h packed in so i went for a new set up instead of trying to get a decent z77 board.

cpu - 7700k
mb - asus z270 maximus ix code
os drive - samsung 500gb m2 ssd
ram - 2x8gb corsair 3200mhz vengence led
gpu - evga gtx1070 ftw

but because i'm still using my old antec 620 kuhler aio, i'm still running things at stock
till i decide what i need to get for a full watercooling set up, then i'll see how the chip performs.
 
16GB G. Skill DDR4-4266 / 19-19-19-39 due in a couple of days.

EDIT: Vcore is circa 1.48v

What are you using to test stability?

1.44 is cabbage.

Prime95 28.9 and X264. It will pass Cinebench R15 at 1.41@5Ghz so gonna play with AVX offset.

Although, I am worried about voltage degradation so may just go for the fastest clock I can get without exceeding 1.35v.

Currently running system at 4.5ghx with XMP on and vcore maxes out at 1.24.

At that voltage, you're not really doing a lot to negate the temperatures you're seeing (without the TCT). I'd consider delidding

I have a delid-die-mate 2 on pre-order.

TCT =Thermal core throttling?

Just done some more testing. Can pass Cinebench R15 5ghz at 1.37vcore (reads 1.368 in HWInfo) with XMP off. I want to use variable voltage. To do this on my borad I must set CPU Vcore to normal and then apply a DVID setting. -0.075 will max vcore at 1.37 but Cinebench crashes. I cannot work out how to adjust loadline calibradtion on this board (Gigabyte Gaming 7 Z170). Everything I have read says there are four settings (Auto, Normal, Medium and High) but i seem unable to set the LLC at anything other than Auto. Typing normal, medium or high into the BIOS does not change the setting and it reverts to Auto.

Use v26.6 to test non avx and 27.9 to test avx. 28.x is just overkill and limiting potential, otherwise you have to increase the negative offset and target 4.7 to 4.8ghz.

Im at 5.1 non avx and 5 with avx @ 1.376v

I've read a couple of online reviews of that cooler and it comes out quite well, its also totally adequate to overclock your 7600K up to around 4.5ghz depending on case cooling I'd have thought, and should give temps in the mid 60s centigrade.:)
