So I delidded my 3770k to get around the horrendous TIM Intel started using after they stopped soldering their dies with Ivy Bridge. Long story short I have had to re-open and reapply the TIM 5 times now just messing around and testing because for whatever reason, though very few other people seem to have this issue, my temps skyrocket back up to and sometimes higher than stock TIM levels after just a couple days. The last time I reapplied it I noticed that there was barely any TIM on the die, it was mostly around the edges, despite my very deliberately spreading out a thin layer right on the die and making sure the whole thing was covered. Has anyone else run into issues like this? At this point I'm ready to put a spacer or something in there to stop my cooler from pressing the IHS on too hard.

I'd actually like to provide some quick context: My specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-3770k @ 4.20 GHz (85°c full load, 41°c idle) GPU: EVGA GTX 780 6GB SC Edition Memory: 16GB 4x4GB 2400MHz DDR3 Mobo: MSI GD-65 z77a Gaming I have been running stock everything for around 5-6 years now. I purchased all these parts new, back when they first released. I have not touched my system, never OCed, never installed aftermarket fans or anything. Basically, I wanted to upgrade my PC via overlocking (even if it is a small difference, I was bored and curious primarily), so I decided to delid my CPU, purchase a water cooler (Corsair h100i v2), and scrape off that old crumbling TIM. And that's just what I did (AND MORE!), I installed a h100i v2, delidded by CPU, resealed it, installed new case fans (3 instake, 2 passthough, 3 exhaust + 240mm rad with double 120mm exhaust), used liquid metal on both my CPU die, and my h100i v2 (I know not to use it on aluminum), and I boot and find.... my temps are not that good... at all. I overclocked to 4.20 GHz, and I idle at 41C and 85C during AIDA64 stress. I have no idea what I could have done wrong. Any ideas? Some more info: I used RTV silicon sealant on my cpu to reseal the IHS. I left the IHS under pressure of a clamp provided by rockitcool for 17 hours to let it cure and dry. Here is the thermal compound I used on my CPU die and IHS to heatsink contact: see here Oh, and something I still plan on doing is getting some thermal paste (non metal) and reapplying on my GPU die... since it's probably all dried up and crumbled away by now... EDIT: I know, I know, you don't even really need more than 3 fans ever, but it looks cool. Also, it appears that my CPU runs at 4.2GHz non-stop? Is this normal?

So my 3770k is now 5 year old, and going strong on 4,4gHz. But yet it's time to upgrade. So I ordered 8700k, Asus TUF Z370plus Gaming, 2x WD black 512gb M2 PCIe SSD, Barracuda PRO 10tb, HyperX Fury 32gb, and a 1070Ti Rog strix. Will also keep my WD red 4tb. I have a Corsair RM 850w and a 550w, Will I need all the 850w? Or should I give the 850 to my kid with the 3770k and a R290? As the Fractal Define R6 is not completely white, I will keep my R5. But I also want a Corsair Carbide Air 540 in white, but not in stock. And I guess my H100i will cool the cpu just fine. Or should I upgrade to newer?

[Please bare with my component naming] [Ambient temperature was 21C or 69.8F when the screenshot was taken but normally the ambient temperature is 32C or 90F] Ok so first off here are my specs: Intel Corei7 3770k [Not overlocked] Nvidia GTX 760 Zotac Amp Edition [Not overlocked] Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 RAM Gigabyte H77-DSH3 The temperatures of my CPU has been going really high on idle [60-70 in Celsius or 140-158 fahrenheit] and under load of AAA games like Witcher 3, GTA V, etc it goes to [85-100 in Celsius or 185-212 in fahrenheit]. The whole PC is 5 years old. I have tried: -Cleaning the whole PC with vacuum cleaner on blowing mode at medium speed. -Changed the thermal paste on the CPU as well as the Cooler for it. [Using Artic Thermal paste and cooler master 212 evo cooler] -Using the stock intel cooler [Didn't work so replaced back to cooler master] -Reset my BIOS and format the PC Please tell me if it is a common problem in Ivy Bridge or is it because of the PC being quite old. The GPU temperatures however are fine. Thanks for helping and reading.

Hello. i'm having a really irritating problem with my computer, some years ago i discovered multi monitor setup with a Acer laptop and a raedon HD 5650. so when i finally got a desktop my number one priority was more screens. got a I7-2600, 8GB ram and a GTX 480. soon replaced it with the 980 the year after and the race was on. After picing up parts here and there like scrap yard wars i now have a watercooled I7-3770k and 2X Titan X maxwel on Asus Sabertooth Z77 with 4x4GB ram and 3x AcerCB270HU. Now to the problem, enabling SLI and Surround every game or GPU related programs (Unigien Heaven) the FPS drops to 5. If i have it in a window and clicks on the desktop or any other program(the GPU load goes to background) the FPS goes to normal and GPU is working full time. goes back to the game, FPS drops to 5 right away and MSI Afterburner reports no load limit is on. After looking for reasonable causes i found out GPU-Z reports the top card to be running at x1 3.0 and bottom at x8 3.0. so i figured some bandwidth limitation is at hand. Took both Titan x (ekwb waterbridged) out and put my old 980 in, now it reportet x16 3.0.But still the same result. if i turn surround off i get a normal handling of the games. GPU and FPS is max. I have tried reinstalling BIOS and currently have a overclock of 4.5 on CPU. So i'm wondering if anyone know what the next thing to check or swap is. i do have the money to go and buy a new system, but i think getting good deals on high end stuff and butchering this together is really fun. If the motherboard is a goner i have a Z97 Sabertooth and I7-4790k in the mail.

Having screen "flickering" at the bottom 1/3rd of monitor. I'm not sure if this is actual flicker or not as I'm not sure what this issue is called. It happens at the bottom 1/3rd of monitor. Recording with OBS does not pick up the issue, so I had to record with cellphone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4OsYrU-cq4 Specs: ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 motherboard I7 3770k processor GTX 970 G1 Gaming graphics card 16 GB GSkill Ripjaws X ram Dual 21:9 LG Ultrawide 29" monitors (2560 x 1080, 1920 x 1080) (I've tried both resolutions, and only using one monitor with the same results. Issue did not get worse at higher resolution.) Having this issue while in game and occasionally while on youtube; happens in all games, but desktop and videos are fine. Have tried setting vsync (on/off/adaptive) to no avail. Tried changing cables and ports on monitor as well as graphics card, with same result. Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, rolled back drivers....no luck. Tried overclock, stock clock, and underclock; same result. Card was not overheating but I reapplied thermal paste. Came up empty. Bios is up to date.

Hi guys, Sorry to come here with my problems but google just won't answer them for me this time! I'm sill rocking an i7 3770k and I've been trying to overclock, getting a stable frequency of 4.5 GHz (Stock 3.5). I realise that this is a turbo frequency overclock (why would you OC your base frequency?) but whatever I do it just won't show up in benchmarks that 4.5 GHz is being utilised. I've included screenshots in this post to help understand my issue. The question is: when I run benchmarks/in day-to-day useage is that OC'd turbo frequency actually being used or is it lying to me one way or another? Am I even overclocking right? Thanks, Luke

Hello guys! I currently have this setup -i7 2600 -Corsair Vengeance 4x4 16gb 1600mhz -XFX R9 270X 2GB (using x2 6pin) -Sentey Arvina -Asus P8Z68-V LE -Cooler Master 212 EVO -x3 1tb WD Caviar Black -120gb SSD Kingston I'm really comfy with this setup for gaming and renders, i'm about to replace the gpu with a MSI 980 and the ram for x4 8gigs Crucial Ballistix Tactical Sticks, but what about the CPU? I have the non K version of it and i'm wiling to upgrade it to either 2600k, 2700k or 3770k. Which one do you guys recommend? Thanks!

I hope this is the right section. Mods feel free to move if this belongs somwhere else. @don_svetlio You have already brought up some proof of a 6600k bottlenecking a titan X = 1070 but 1080>1070 so what do i do. I am a in a bit of a pickle. Let's say things are in my favor and this is my exact situation. The price doesn't acctually matter. I want to get a GTX 1080 to replace my GTX 770. Right now I have an i7 3770k at 4.6GHz adn there is definitely some temperature (the mid-60s) headroom left ( I haven't even taken my time to find the limit. More like give it 150mV and some clock bench it for a few hours and it was stable than gamed on it for days and days to come without any problems). My issues is that I don't feal comfortable spending that much money although I don't have to pay it myself for that GPU and not have it fully utilised. By that I mean that I am currently using a FHD 144Hz display and enjoy that very much. I thought about a new WQHD 144Hz display but those are just damn expensive. I mean that would be the price of my GPU again. I am just not sure wether I should do it. I am looking forward to things like SMP and VR (but that is also an expensive topic) and the othert things introducet with the 1080 like 4K 144Hz support even thought it is still kind of stupid. I am really torn. Do you have some Ideas how to go about this? On top of all that availability of 1080 seems to be terrible in Germany as of now. Heard some things about an improvement in Juli but still. I don't even see a possiblity to get a card just yet if I take a decission now.

Hi, I've been testing out two GTX 980 Ti's in SLI with an i7 3770K at 4.2 Ghz. I've been noticing very inconsistent frame rates in Fallout 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider. In ROTTR, the frame rates can drop from the 60s/70s the 30s/40s in the Geothermal Valley. GPU usage is also very inconsistent and there is a lot of oscillation on the graph with values between 40 and 80%. CPU usage is around 40 to 60%. ROTTR is running at 1440p, HBAO+, SMAA, motion blur OFF, all other settings maxed out. I was wondering if this is due to poor scaling in the game or a CPU bottleneck. I have not done extensive testing on other games. Scaling seems fine on games like Crysis 3, Metro Last Light and Doom. Firestrike ultra score doubles with SLI enabled. GTA V does not seem to scale well either. Thanks in advance.

My question: Can I keep the old 680 in the system without frying my PSU? Background: I want to upgrade to a GTX 1070/1080 from a GTX 680 [1]. While I personally use the system for gaming, I occasionally let my GF render her architecture on my System. This pretty much maxes out the CPU as well as the GPU. So I am thinking about leaving the old GPU in the system along the new one to assists in rendering. I allready looked up the max power draw of the System components (worst case): i7 3770k: 145W [2] GTX 680: 355W [1] GTX 1080: 310W/390W (OC) [3] Rest: 100W [4] Total: 910W / 990W (OC) I already have a 850W Gold PSU [5] in the system. Is that a problem or just fine? Should I just get rid of the 680?

Some time ago I made a k'nex PC case for my basic gtx 970 and 3770k system, however, through the months (it hasn't even been a year yet) I upgraded it. Now the CPU is delidded, it's equiped with a 980 ti xtreme windforce card, better IO, a PCI-e SSD and so. However, the case was made around the old configuration and the cables were a too tight fit IMO on so I decided it is time for a redo. Some of the major changes I will make: 1. Move the sound card to the side of the case with the PCI-e 1x riser cable. 2. Impruve the lighting of the system (better LED config). 3. Impruve upon cable management. 4. Install a new front IO. 5. Make the case stronger. 6. Change the PCI-e card layout. A link to the old build log: Within the spoiler you can see the old system: It had: My 'current' (as it is not built yet) has the following components: Some pics of the components laid out: I am still working on the slightly reworked case and will be posting updates as I go. Hopefully some people might find this interesting and will enjoy reading about the adventures of rebuilding this k'nex monster.

I was noticing some temperature spikes in my cpu while overclocking (had it at at 4.5Ghz at 1.225V). Figuring it had been a while since i'd replaced the thermal compound I cleaned off the now hardened compound that came with the h100i. I then put a dab of Arctic Silver 5 in the center roughly the size and shape of a grain of rice. Starting it back up my temperatures quickly shot up to 95 degrees and the computer bluescreened within seconds. I re-applied the thermal paste, taking care to do it as arctic silver reccomends. I reset my cpu to default speeds and voltages for good measure. No bsod now, but i'm idling in the upper 30's - lower 40-s (up 10 degrees from before). It easily hits 80 when playing a game at ~50% cpu usage (up from 50 before). Trying to run Intel Burn Test results in 90 degree temps within seconds so I have to stop it to avoid damage. What is going on? this isn't the first time i've replaced thermal paste, the waterblock seems to be seated properly, everything is plugged in properly and Corsair link confirms the pump is running. Any help is appreciated, I'm out of ideas... I hope my cooler isn't going kaput. -
I know you should always buy RAM is pairs if possible but in my case i already had 2 8gb sticks of Corsair Vengeance RAM but have lain my hands on another stick of the same RAM. My question is on my motherboard (P8Z77-V) which i believe to be dual channel, should everything work okay if i plug in the third? i realise some performace of the third stick will be lost but will the 3 sticks be better than 2? Thanks in advance!

Hello LTT helpers, I come with quite a perplexing issue. after a year and a half of letting my 3770k get worked in i have decided to try and overclock it. i figured i could get an easy 4.2Ghz overclock out of it and be happy. sadly i was mistaken so i am turning to you all for help. my system specs are as follows: Intel core i7 3770k, Asus Maximus V formula (bios version 1903), an Asus GTX 670 DCU2 (overclocked to 1162Mhz), corsair h100i, corsair vengeance 4x4 1866 memory kit(black), 128gb corsair force gs(boot drive), 2tb black (main storage), 2x3tb wd green (overflow/extra storage) an evga supernova 1000 G2 (yes i know it's massive overkill i will change it out when i can), nzxt hue, and all housed in a CoolerMaster HAF X (massively under appreciated case imo) i have tried just about every combination of bios settings i can think of that would even remotely work to no avail. at most i will see my clock speed go up to 3.890Ghz and at load it flops to 3,691Ghz every time without fail no matter the bios settings. my best guess is the original owner of the board returned it for the same problem and it was resold through Newegg with the good bet that the new owner wouldn't be overclocking with it. any help at all is greatly appreciated.

First of all, please believe me when I say I tried to research first about this topic, I even searched the linustechtips forum and teksyndicate forum, but all I found are benchmarks using a benchmarking softwares and gaming benchmarks, I never seen any thread about streaming and video editing (maybe because it's an old cpu, I dunno). So I have an old P67 built PC without a cpu laying around. So I thought I might be able to use it as a dedicated streaming pc or video editing pc. So I scoured the internet (amazon and ebay LOL coz its the whole internet for me) for an affordable cpu, and I found a deal for both i7 2700K and 3770K (it's a deal for me at least considering how much they cost when they first arrived here in japan). 2700K = $200(ish) / ￥19,000 3770K = $290(ish) / ￥29,000 Considering the benchmarks I saw, I prefer the 2700K price-wise but when it comes to what I intended for the cpu, if the 3770K could do better then I would go for the 3770K instead. Any suggestion? Anyone? Maybe a rendering benchmarks? If you could provide? EDIT: I wanna stream using this settings: 1080p @ 60fps... I have a gigabit internet so upload isn't going to be a problem... -
I have just bought a group of motherboards for far below their normal price I currently have an FX8120 and am looking to upgrade. two of the boards are am3+ so will work with my cpu. one is an LGA-1155 socket. Would i be better off buying an FX-9590/8350 sort of thing, or buying an i7 3770k? are there cheaper intel options that will work well? I would love to crossfire to 390x cards in the near future so would like to be able to have both in x16 mode. thanks for any help!

Hey guys I'm planning on delidding my 3770k. I've had it for a while now and I'm running a custom waterloop. But still the CPU's temps suck. I've spent a lot of time finding the lowest voltage for my really ( ! ) mild OC of 4.2GHz and under p95 load its still hanging around 80 degrees, which it also did back on aircooling. The one thing I'm not quite sure about yet, is how I should actually delid it. I dont really like the razor method, it just takes a lot of time and you risk scratching the PCB. I thought I'd use the vice&hammer method until yesterday I've found a video of a guy doing the delid "vice only" by simply lowering one side of the cpu under the vice-edge and then pushing the PCB against the heatspreader. I really like this method because it looks way less sudden than hitting it with a hammer. Did anyone use this method already or does know if this is applicable to the i7 3770k? I guess so, the guy is doing it with a 4790k but the PCB layout looks pretty similar to me, in fact the 3770k does not have the voltage regulators on the PCB so theres actually less to fuck up. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Sigh.. New ram arrived today (Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz DDR3 8GB stick - Same as what i already had) Powered down the computer, earthed myself and placed the RAM into the matching colour slot. Booted up the computer (looking good so far) then i get the message on the screen of "HDMI NO SIGNAL".. I allow the computer to run for a little while longer and i hear the windows login sound (where you enter your password). So my first thoughts are that maybe by chance monitor or HDMI cables had broken - switched them both but no difference. From there i start to wonder if theres an issue with the new stick of RAM so i remove the new stick and boot up again - Computer runs fine just as it did before - Just like normal. I wonder if maybe there is an issue with that slot on my mother board, so i move both sticks over one so they're now on black black, from blue blue. Still no difference Now im left in a rather puzzled state due to the fact that even though i didnt get signal to the monitor i know the computer in running since i got the windows login music. Maybe im being silly and have to activate something in my BIOS.. or maybe its because im running windows 7 home premium.. Help would be much appreciated.

I'm running an i7-3770K at STOCK speed cooled by a Corsair H100i with SP120 Quiet Edition fans in push. All this is inside a Fractal Design Define R4. At idle, the CPU was doing 40C and when gaming it was going past 80C. These temps are safe (just) but I'm not confortable with them. So I checked the backplate (common mistake for H100i system builders to get the backplate orientation wrong) and it's fine, checked the thermal paste, thats fine also, I then replaced the thermal paste - temperatures got worse. As I write this the CPU is at 45C and when I tested a gaming load it hit 100C, really bad temperatures for a STOCK CPU with an AIO liquid cooler. I'm using Arctic MX4 and using the small blob method to apply the paste which when I did a test application was getting a decent spread. My GPU is a REFRENCE GTX780Ti so it's not like the GPU is blowing hot air into the rest of the case. I'm completely out of ideas so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Hi, My PC has been freezing on occasion and am trying to figure out the problem. I'm currently using an i7 3770K at 4.5 Ghz, 1.3V. I'm also using Windows 8.1 Pro. The freezes are random and usually happen while web browsing and listening to music or when I leave it overnight. Temperatures are in the low to mid 30s on small load and when running a blend test, 60s to 70s. It's nothing major since it happens rarely and on occasion. The first time I overclocked my CPU, I ran Prime95 on small FFTs for 24 hours without experiencing any crashes. Since then I haven't had any issues with freezing. Some of the changes I made after the overclock was the cooler (H100i) and the OS (Win 7 to 8.1) I didn't encounter any issues until I went overseas for 3 months and came back. Before I started the computer for the first time since coming back, I changed the graphics card from a GTX 780 Ti to a GTX 980. When I started experiencing freezes, I ran Prime95 again using blend and it crashed shortly after. So I upped the voltage to 1.33 and it ran P95 for 24 hours without crashing. But I still experienced random freezing. What I did next was set the voltage back to 1.3V, remove the CPU block, cleaned out and reapplied thermal paste and reapplied the block. I ran P95 again but this time with small FFTs and it crashed within less than a minute. I upped the voltage to 1.35 and ran P95 again and the temperatures were in the 90s, a lot higher than during the first overclock. I have yet to test other voltages. I'm just wondering how my overclock was stable the first time and now it's not. I haven't had any freezing or crashing during 6+ hour gaming sessions. Could the freezing be non CPU related? The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

so i was looking into better my streaming and was wondering if using quick sync feature that i just found out about last night would be a benefit at all over x264. also i enabled the feature and followed Lukes guide that i found on the youtubes from a year ago, im using 2 monitors so once i enabled the IGPU its detected as a 3rd and there's a clone of my mouse in the top left corner of my Main monitor. Any help at all for OBS would be great. note: there's a post on here i cant remember from who, who has a crazy long detailed post about OBS and i read through that a little and that's where i seen about quick sync feature

Firstly, I have a stock 3770k (3.5ghz) and a 1080p 144hz screen. Would either or both of these cards be bottle necked by the cpu or be overkill for 1080p gaming? Is there anything else I should consider? I'm currently running a GTX 680 MSI Lightning and I'm starting to feel its not getting the most out of many new games with the 144hz screen. And please don't tell me buy a 980Ti instead of a 980, in Australia a base 980 is $700, the G1 is $760, the G1 980Ti is $1150. It is $400 more even though it is better value for the money.
