Pretty happy with how it turned out, got to make my dream machine, and just wanted to share.

Looks awesome, and those specs are looking very nice 😄

Im surprised anyone even bothers with overclocking cpus anymore
 
Any noticable improvements in cpu performance? Cause ryzen doesnt gain that much from oc
 
Also overclock the ram, looking at the ram speed and timings its either ballistix or neo rams so you should be good on ocing, find the highest stable clock and start lowering the timings

Congtrats on the new build!

That case does surprisingly well. The piece on the front panel is forward enough of the rest of the case to do well. I can usually keep my 1070 and 2070 under 80C folding or mining.

Mobile Pascal cards are about the same as desktop variants. To keep them cooler, the clock speeds are lowered and they gain additional CUDAcores over the desktop variant to make them match the desktop performance. However, with the mobile 1070, being able to reach 2000Mhz is really good. That's on par with overclocked desktop variants and since mobile Pascal are clocked lower, meaning you got an even higher overclock than many desktop out of box variants. Meaning the overclock at the same clock in comparison, you should be getting more performance. Good for you.

I wanted to share my experience with overclocking the 6820HK in the Aorus x7 v6 laptop, and my results of re-pasting the thermal compound on the CPU. I also did the GPU, but it already ran cool enough where it made less of an impact.
 
I originally shot for an overclock to 4.2 GHz, and while I was able to make and maintain that, the voltages were far to high for me to be comfortable with, and the temperatures were also very high. I also had stability problems, as the processor cache liked to be within 100-200 MHz of the core clock, but would get unstable above 4.0ghz.
 
So I dialed back the voltage, dropped the overclock to 4.1 GHz, and kept the cache multiplier to 40x. Also, I think it is important to note that although I don't understand what Iccmax is on the processor, it did greatly impact performance. In my XTU settings, 65A is the conservative power-saver default, 95A is the 'turbo' default, and 100A was my overclock setting. Anything over that simply generated more instability and heat. It seemed that when Iccmax is reduced, the cores do not actually reach their desired frequency, or are unable to hold it under load. (i.e. hitting only 3.8 on all cores on a 4.0 GHz overclock)
 
Power limit was maxed (to the power limit that the brick can provide of 230 watts) a +.030 V offset, and a multiplier of 41x on all four cores. To those interested I also overclocked the GPU using the same methodology of finding the ceiling and stepping it back a notch. I achieved an offset of +145 MHz on the core, and a +885 MHz overclock on the memory. It is a mobile GTX 1070. I'll add that I think I got lucky on mine, with the overclock it scratches around 2000 MHz and performance is great on it. (I get 80 FPS max settings on Witcher 3 ).
 
With 4.2 I was thermal throttling all the time, hitting the 100C ceiling on synthetic loads. Backing down to 4.1 and lowering the voltage helped with temps around 80-85 under a "real-world" load, but temps were far to high for my liking. I did an Aida64 stress test with the FPU instruction set, and I again was getting low 90's with spikes into 100C, throttling the cpu again
 
So, I re-pasted the CPU and GPU (while I was at it, temps were 65C under-load and not a concern), and the new compound worked very well. Temps in the mid 80's with a synthetic load, and mid 70's with a 'real-world' load and other synthetic loads that aren't as hard as aida64. Ive posted the results before and after below, and although not perfect, much more manageable. I did still see some spikes into the 90's which triggered some minor throttling in Aida64, but none ever reach 100C. With a working temperature in the mid 70's under heavy load, I think this is much better, especially with a decent overclock on a laptop. Thanks!
 
Oh and the GPU temps improved by a whopping 1C. Final side note, this was a replacement for my desktop, as I wanted my gaming but needed better mobility. So I sold my beast of a machine and got this about 6 weeks ago. I purchased this from Newegg as open box during one of their open box sales.
 
The benchmarks and the before and after temps using aida64 after re-pasting the CPU and GPU with Kryonaut:

AFTER:
 

I just saw one guy on the Firestrike hall of fame that had pushed his to his factory BIOS mem overclock limit (Which is 1625 for the 295x2). So I figured... what the hell? I had been creeping it up by like 20 mhz increments before.

:-) Because aida 64 has an option to stress the GPU's at 100% as well. I figured it would be another solid test.

also , it's safe to go up to 100mv, so see if it yields good results.

Below are the specs. Folks on the forum helped me address finer points I had issues with. Alot of modding and painting went into the H630 case (Paint job far from perfect, but I am happy with it). Aside from a missing screw or two, it is done. And I will refrain from tearing it apart and putting it back together :lol: . As through trail and error (as has been the case for the last few months, this project has been ongoing for quite some time). Thanks!

Sorry, I figured I should have posted some numbers . Here is a recent one with the everything OC'ed, besides RAM. As far as FPS, one that this rig does well on is Shadow of Mordor. It gets an avg of 116 FPS at 4k, everything ultra, including that waky texture pack. Not to shabby. Not all games are as nice with teh crossfire though. GTA V on max setting ran around 60 FPS

2x 295x2 for the 4k! Thanks! B)

Awesome build! what kind of scores/frames are you getting in benchmarks @ 4k?

Well i think it's more than a workstation + dedicated station . It's a powerhouse! Did you overclock your CPU? If so, what are the speeds and the voltages?

Nice! I got mine at 4,5GHz at 1.3V

2x 295x2? For what? Haha! BTW, I love your system! <3

That is solid advise I will give it a shot thank you. Ill post my findings for any future people with similair issues, Thanks!
