    Well compared to an 8700K and higher..... yea there's going to be some Cpu bottle-necking going on. A comparison like that is around 35-40% difference in per core IPC. That's quite a bit. 

    Aye but that's what board and chip over 300 quid and what I've got board and cpu for 107 pounds all in all so I'm not expecting it to be the best but pretty good and I'm only using it at 1080p 75hz panel but I know there's always some bottleneck but with setting tweaks can over be Iver came also that is huge and if I had the money I'd go for the 8700k and you get the ddr4 bandwidth aswell and that's a 6/12 the 8700k isnt

    1.4v is the highest most people recommend for a daily driver PC, 1.45v is where it's generally recommended to stop.

     

    AMD and Intel don't really differ that much when it comes to overclocking, the basic process and rules of thumb hold true for basically everything.

    Okay Crunchy so I'll read myself as well before hand but does Intel benefit like and from a higher bus speed/bclk and what is Intels equivalent to hypertransport also thanks and this is going to be a long term system so thanks

    That era of AsROck was poor quality in general. 

     

    I'm not saying it won't work, just don't push too hard on it, that's all.

     

     

     

     

    Aye I only want it to run 1866mhz in quad chanel and the 4820k at 4.2ghz all core but I wasn't going to be pushing it to the max I'm well if it does what I'm needing it to I want this to last atleast a couple years and I am mating it with a gtx 1070 msi gaming x with a 638 overstock on the memory and 150 on the core for the card and I'm using a rm1000 psu so no issues will come up there but this is an upgrade from a And fx6300 clocked at 4.71 ghz on a 275 bus so hoping this should be a big jump

    As long as you can supply the necessary voltage to push 4.2Ghz on the 4820K and keep both the CPU and your VRMs cool, you should be fine.

     

    Look up an X79 overclocking guide.

    Okay but nothing in particular that would cause a problem to have it run at 4.2 and I put my chip in a board to make sure it I'd working and at stock 3.7 it is only using 1.16 volts and is 1.35 where you'd wan to stop on volts on this platform I've only over worked on amd.

    I had that board. It's junk. I had an issue where it lost memory slots. Was not cpu or memory related.

     

    These issues are exactly what I encountered.

    Sorry for this kind of information, I'm only sharing what I know.

    Also my board is the x79 variant not the z77

    Bricked board? 

    Ask for Refund. That's the first advice.

    what power supply are you using?

    Hey mate its corsair rm1000 and got it to post but it's being weird 2 ram slots won't work at all so going to get drivers onto it see if that tricks it so see them but it's seeing 8gb of ram 4gb sticks and when I go to dimm info it only seeing.g that one stick is there and not the other stick also what is lock step mode and mirror mode for ram

  8. Hello I bought an i7 4820k as it was really cheap and I don't have that much money and for whatever reason X79 boards are so expensive so I got one of these Chinese X79 boards which from reviews done on them seem like okay boards so I buy one it comes today I put the chip which was pulled from a working system and then I wire it up and just on the mobo box I just want to test fire and it powers the board but no display my ps/2 keyboard flashes but doesn't come back and the board powers up then powers down in about 30 to 100 second cycles and endlessly repeats. What I'm wondering is if the board is bad or if it's a dead cpu but or if the bios isn't recognising the cpu and needed flashed I'm just at a lose as to why it isn't posting

     

    What I've tried I've tried three gfx cards in different slots no change tried different ram and one stick in each slot not change I did add a board speaker and it won't beep just nothing I know the speaker is working but even with no ram in it which should make it beep still no beeps, I've tried remounting the cpu cooler see if it was a bad mount nope just power cycles. I will add on first boot everytime it does do a double boot so any help would be great appreciated
