    It must be on the old SSD, because I don't have an issue if it's disconnected.
  2. WhaSAAB713
    Found it, but switching it to UEFI only just makes the old drive my only option for booting. At this point, I'm tempted to just get a usb/sata adapter and plug the old drive into my laptop to wipe it.

    I am on windows 10, where would I find those settings?
  4. WhaSAAB713
    I've done that, somehow the old drive still overrides all of that.
  5. WhaSAAB713
    F8 was right, but if the old drive is connected clicking the drive I want to boot from just makes the screen flash once. If the old drive is disconnected, clicking on the drive I want to boot from boots from that drive.

    I found it in easy mode where I can boot straight from any drive and it works fine if the old drice is disconnected, but if it's connected it still gets overridden. Currently I'm booting straight from the new ssd and it's first in boot priority, but if the old drive in plugged in it overrides it all.

    I know what you mean, but I can't find it in my bios. F11 just takes me to the ez tuning wizard.
  8. WhaSAAB713
    I have, I set the new drive as #1 boot priority and windows boot manager still overrides it.

    Ok, I'm trying to upgrade from a 500G Sandisk SSD to a 250G Samsung NVMe SSD. I followed the instructions for Samsung's Data Migration software and successfully cloned my OS and my data from the old SSD to the new NVMe SSD. I've uninstalled the old SSD from my PC to ensure that my PC boots using the new drive, however I still want to wipe the old SSD and use it as a game library. But when I reinstall it in my PC so that I can wipe it Windows Boot Manager overrides my UEFI boot priority and boots from the old SSD, disabling the new one. How can I edit Windows Boot Manager to boot from the new one and not the old one so I can wipe the old drive?

    True, if I can hit 4.4 I'd be thrilled. But it hasn't quite been a pleasure having one yet, lol.

    Ok, I'll try using some other programs and see what happens. I'm not trying to do anything crazy, just shooting for 4.2GHz at 1.25V. I feel like that's pretty reasonable for this processor with a 240mm water cooler on it.

    I've heard that RealBench can stress the system in different ways than a lot of the other stress tests, could it just be the way that RealBench is testing it?
  13. WhaSAAB713
    It does stutter the same way, even at stock speeds. I have the RAM set to run at it's rated XMP settings.
  14. WhaSAAB713
    So I've been still messing around with my OC using RealBench to test it, and I've tried every combination of speed and voltage from 4.0-4.4GHz and 1.2-1.3V and I'm still getting small stutters 2-3 times per 15 stress test. Either I'm doing something wrong or my chip is a sad chip that can't even OC 300MHz. Thoughts?
  15. WhaSAAB713
    I've heard some not-so-great things about Prime95. I think LTT even mentioned it in one of their videos. I've got RealBench at the moment, but I don't mind paying for programs like 3DMark and AIDA64 if it means I can ensure that my system is stable.
  16. WhaSAAB713
    So what should I set it to after I validate my overclock? Automatic or adaptive offset? Good to know, I will bring the clock speed back down to 4.2GHz and see where that gets me.
  17. WhaSAAB713
    Trying to finish validating the overclock on my i7 8700K. Got the temps where I want, got it up to 4.4Ghz at 1.2V, and I've done some short stress tests and it does fine except that it will have small stutters/freezes every 5-10 minutes (2-3 second stutters). My question is: is this something to worry about/lower the speed or voltage for, or is it normal and I'm ok to run my longer stress tests? Any advice on my next validation steps would be appreciated. Also, I've heard you should set your voltage to "adaptive mode" after validating an overclock, does this just mean change the setting from manual back to auto? Thanks!

    Trying to finish validating the overclock on my i7 8700K. Got the temps where I want, got it up to 4.5Ghz at 1.2V, and I've done some short stress tests and it does fine except that it will have small stutters/freezes every 5-10 minutes (2-3 second stutters).

    Those were the ones I was thinking of flipping, the radiator is mounted in the front/right of motherboard.
  20. WhaSAAB713
    Yea, if you look at the case the front is all glass, so the fans are mounted on the right side of the motherboard panel and can intake from or exhaust to the rear chamber of the case. I'll try to figure out which 3 might be best to flip.
  21. WhaSAAB713
    I'll definitely give that a try for starters.
  22. WhaSAAB713
    Lian-Li PC-O11ROG, 6 Cooler Master Air Balance 120 Fans, 3 on the motherboard panel, 3 at the top. All are exhaust which I know isn't ideal but rear and bottom of the case are really well ventiliated for intake and so far the exhausted air has been cool, not warm.

    PCPP list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tbCLWX CPU is running stock, no OC at all, I believe it's stock voltage is 1.12V. Only differences in the PCPP list is the SSD is actually 500G, not 480G, and three of the six fans are non-RGB.
  24. WhaSAAB713
    Sure, one sec.
  25. WhaSAAB713
    I have them set to max performance, they go straight to 100% once the CPU hits 50C.
