Never mind the cooling you'd need a nuclear reactor to power it!there is no chance a 7980xe can run 5Ghz daily.
The individual cores could do 5.0 I recon but where's the point in buying an 18 core cpu to gimp it.

Thanks for that, think I'll order a binned 7900x on payday and get the system built on low clocks until I get the loop sorted, that would be the logical way I think. Any idea how long until you get another 4.9 bin?All will do higher with better cooling and more volts but you will cry about Temps. Ln2 5.8ghz + easy.
a binned 7980XE and use phase change to cool it.
Old school phase cooling!You simply want as much surface area as possible but just adding radiators won't have any effect after a point. Maybe look at a dual 200mm rad with 4 fans as that will have plenty of capacity for heat exchange. Then you look pumps to match.
My plan was to go with a binned 7980XE and use phase change to cool it.
Phase change, people still use that?
I remember it was popular 15 years ago or so . . .
I had noticed the 7800X but bloody hell those Kaby Lake X chips are cheap.Check OcUK pricing on 7640X, 7740X and 7800X OEM, lowest prices in UK and lots of memory deals. See the Black Friday section.![]()
You might as well sit tight for Ryzen+
jigger = AMD is better regardless of facts.remember every post in here showing this.
why would you wait for ryzen 2 ? still will be slower than x299 chips lol.

nah just noticed that every cpu post regardless of benchmarks shown amd is better.when its totally opposite.x299 will be and is faster in every way and will be than ryzen 2.
