We now have a range of binned and delidded i7 and i9 CPU's tested on the X299 platform available from OCUK. We have i7 7740X upto 5.3ghz available, i9 7800X available upto 4.9ghz and i9 7900X available upto 4.9ghz. All pre tested CPU's are delidded.

We also now have a range bundles using the above binned i7 and i9 7800X available using these CPU's the ASUS Strix board and upto 64gb 8Pack 3200mhzC14 mems. These bundles of course come with a minimum of 240 AIO cooler for the i7 and a minimum of 360 AIO cooler for the i9 although I do recommend a custom loop for the best possible results. This along with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut paste will all help to keep these power house chips cool in operation while offering great performance as can always be expected from Intel especially when overclocked.

Here is a video to describe in detail the binning and delidding process and go through some performance benchmarks for these CPU's and Bundles and also further OC and tweaking options.

Here are screenshots of testing first showing the improvement of delidding the i7 7740X CPU



and the performance of the 5.2ghz bin CPU in several benches.




And some stability with high Cache and mem speeds too which shows how Cache and memory can be pushed.


Now onto the i9 7800X
Here are screenshots of testing first showing the improvement of delidding the i9 7800X CPU



and the performance of the i9 7800X at 4.9ghz




and some stability testing with high cache and mems showing how these can be pushed to gain further performance.


Any questions ask away on this thread.

7800X is i9. 7900X no qualified motherboard for my bundles is in retail channel yet so I can't show the results.
 
7900X is also polymer TIM and glued IHS. Afew have asked for the 8 core. I will try to bin some of these this week.
 
4.9 -5g 7900X is like 1in 20 or so. Maybe even 1 in 25.

These bundles are oc'd by us at ocuk.
 


This is one of the 5.2 bin Kabylake X Air Single Thread R15 with 24-7 Stable clocks. 5277Mhz 1.35v almost 5g cache, 4450Mhz c18 mems ;-)
 
None avx prime 26.6 is what we use for testing. Avx is crazy load on these cpu's.

Xeons don't boost at all with avx load so 4.7 avx stable is very solid.
 
Normal AVX maybe is fine without offset it depends on cpu. AVX512 not. You need offset to control Temps.

It's a depends on the Cpu answer more and you need to test. The figures I gave above means you can plug them in and it's stable without testing.
 
Our wires are totally crossed here mate. I was answering the customers question about the i9 7900X and not the 7740X I screen shot above.

That chip will probably only need 1 ratio avx offset to be stable. It's not as hot nor is it avx 512 enabled.

We don't quote with avx as that's not needed for the majority of end users using these chips who are gamers. We add this to the description of the product and in the video I made I said non avx prime.

If our business customer needs avx then we test avx. The reason for avx offset in the bios is so that end users can tailor frequency against workload. So SSE can be maxed out AVX can be maxed out and if the CPU is capable AVX 511 can be maxed out. I myself think this is a good feature for extra tuning and with i9 helps control Temps.
 
Sure if you check my video I used non avx prime 26.6 and Realbench to test Threadripper and ryzen also. Our main customers on here are gamers so I show what they can expect under non avx load. Same always and consistent I agree.
 
Ryzen isn't so mentally hot under AVX as these so a lot easier to achieve. Your 3.9 bundle will do AVX as long as people spec reasonable cooling.

I am 3.9 on a 360 and OCCT linpack AVX hits about 62-63 fans on silent. Sub 60 with fans ramped up.
I know. I do test avx on all. It's just not part of the binning, nor is it part of my reviews results.
 




7740X 5.4ghz Bin Benches. This Bin can run 5.5ghz which I will do more benches later but included a quick single thread R15 in the mix to show the crazy score. Mems 4133mhz C17 1T no problem. ASUS Apex X299 MB.
