  1. All of the best dies go to Threadrippah and EPYC chips instead of going to the R7 line now. At launch the chips weren't binned as tight as they are now either so 1700/X rarely do 4/4.1. Someone has binned a lot of R7, I dont believe there's any chance of the details being in an article or youtube video though.. I dont even get the full details and testing procedure lol.
  2. Auctions will discover what they are worth to people.
  3. I think when the 8700K drops, all older quad i7s are going to take a hit on the used market.
  4. They'll be in for a surprise when the older chips go higher. Its not like at the R7 launch where the chips clock the same anymore.
  5. Lol i don't know if Id want it back after service time as the dreaded Dad's Basement PC. I paid $90 USD for a QX9650 EE with the right batch/stepping recently lol.

    Nice profile picture!

    Nothing. It sounded good in my head Merch, platform, it's all the same since I've seen the light.

    Word up. Got the new platform and it's clocking like a god church.
  8. You find what your RAM will do first and then add the CPU OC afterward. There is also the cache, which you find the max for after the CPU is clocked, as you can see in the memory tab here at 5.3GHz (NB Freq)

    i made the vega go how fast it should have goed…

    On dice? I need a safe voltage limit in case it scales at all.

    OT: What's the deathzone for a GTX 580 Classy? I have up to 1.8V available in Precision X.
  11. It works and is actually a better choice for the slot over an NVMe drive. The slot is actually pcie 2 x2 so barely faster than sata.

    MODERATOR??

    I for one welcome our new LTT overlords.
  13. No. People have hit 4266+ on the Z270 Maximus Apex and Kaby chips (better IMC) at a rate worth mentioning, thats it.

    Exclusive! 6950?
  15. I want one too Expect in the $800 USD range for a used one. A lot of these were overclocked super hard for years so be careful.
  16. This dude ordered me to edit a post in another thread because I said it was OK to use more than 1.35V on DDR4 then quickly edited his own when I smacked em down with proof. He's wrong all the time and a dick about it.
  17. I used a PCIe adapter card with the 960 EVO. Onboard M.2 is only 2.0 x4 I believe so if it's a fast drive like the EVO you don't want to use it.
  18. Are you on the latest BIOS? That cound be holding you back if youre on an old rev.
  19. Dont mess with the CPU leave it on stock/auto. Then try Enable XMP Save & exit Let it fail post Press memOK button Raise dram voltage Save & exit MemOK keeps the unstable settings but lets it post to bios so you can adjust them. If it works then lower voltage until it fails post then memOK again and use the last stable volts. You could also try changing the set of dimm slots youre using.
  20. Use the memOK button after enabling XMP when it wont post. Change the voltage to 1.4V. This will tell you if youre going to get anywhere. If not, the quality of you ram or cpu is very low. I ran DDR4 at 1.45v for a couple of years and it's 100% safe at that 24/7.
  21. Perfectly safe. Dom Plat came out in 2012 as ddr3. The DDR4 version is not only for X99. I have a few kits of Dominator GT triple channel for X58 and it works on earlier P45 and X48 in single or dual channel.
