Alright i'm going to make a quick resume here with more details further down Basically i am trying to push to get the 5.2GHz on my i7 7700k(Full parts list further) and i would need just that little bit more stability, i can run it stable at 5.1GHz@1.440V and i tried 5.2GHz but it's just not stable even at 1,500V(tried it just to se if it would of been stable, i was able to start cinebench r15 but pc frooze mid test) -------------------------------------- PC Parts List: CPU: i7 7700k delided W/ Liquid Metal under AND over the IHS(because why not, next step is going direct die :p) CPU Cooler: Captain 240 EX W/ 4x 120mm Artic P12 PWM PST Fans Mobo: Asus Prime Z270-A Ram: 32Go DDR4 @2400MHz CL15 Hyper X Fury(with 3x40mm DC Fans) GPU: EVGA 980 Ti Hybrid(come with a 120mm rad and i put liquid metal between the pump and the GPU Die and also 2 other artic P12 Fans) SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 250Go for windows and a Raid 0 of 5xKingston V300 120Go HDD: 2TB 7.2k RPM Seagate Firecuda SSHD using a sata to usb c adapter PSU: Thermaltake Grand toughpower RGB 850Watt Case: Cougar Conquer PCIe adapter: 4xUSB 3.0 to PCIe and Gigabit ethernet to PCIe Monitor: 4 Different monotor, 2 are 1080p one is 1200p and the last one is a random 17" 3:4 screen for my pc stats -------------------------------------- For the Longer and more "Technical" part of the story, Here it is: So i tried to push 5.2GHz for quite a bit of time, i got a better mobo since then and i was able to now run 5.1GHz stable but still not quite enough for the 5.2 i was aiming for. so i don't really know a whole lot about overcloking beside using the frequency multiplier and the Core Voltage, i tried once changing the Block Frequency but didn't got quite far with it so i just dial it back to 100. I have delided my cpu, put liquid metal on the die, i Lap the IHS and put liquid metal between the CPU Pump ans the IHS because i figured why not at this point when i push for the 5.2GHZ. Every single fans in the pc run at 100% and i get quite descent temps, at 5.2GHz@1.500V when i started Cinebench R15 it got up to around 80c-85c MAX Peak and it wasn't getting higher while the benchmark was running before the pc froze. i know it's hot but before i lapped the IHS, changed the motherboard and changed the Fans, i was running 5GHz 1.430V with max peak of arround 75c. i also tried on my z270-A Prime the core per core overlcock and it seams like it's my first and second core that are the worst so this also didn't got me quite further, i was able to run 5.2GHz on 3 core stable at arround 1.480V but i couldn't even get it to 5.3GHz on a single core at the same voltage so i dropped it to synchronise all core at 5.1GHz@1.440V So Here i am, looking for someone who might know a bit more about those others settings in the bios that might get it stable just enough so i would be able to run a 3D mark Firestrike Ultra, a Time Spy extreme, Cinebench R15 and R20(not obligatory in a single boot, it it finish one of them, crash and i can get all of them one by one, i'm fine with it, it's just for the personal goal) If you have More advenced tips for me Please leave them as a comment and i am going to start playing with it

Hey, been having some issues with my pc since I first built it. So when I go to boot it while the case standing up it doesnt give any signal, and all the fans start spinning but no display. But when I turn it off and lay it sideways and press the power button it turns on perfectly. I looked at the manual and tried looking everywhere in the bios for a case orientation setting and couldnt find it. My mobo is an asrock z270 pro4, my full speccy list is attatched. Also I know its not an issue with any cables being loose because when I turn it on while lying flat then stand the case up it works perfectly fine. Just looking for some help.

Hello everyone! My name is Rafael Ferreira and i´m from Brazil Last week my company autorized us to go back to a hybrid workplace and now i will home some days a week, it will be great as i can help at home with my 1 year daughter. I was a really long time mac user, using an 2010 base model Macbook Pro, it lasted from college, 3 different jobs and outlived as my wife work computer until late last year when she bought an 2019 base model 21.5 imac mid last year. I have upgraded it with 16GB of 2666 memory and a 500GB SATA SSD from kingston (the black one with DRAM cache). It was pain and suffering opening the screen but it was really worth it. Now i´m with a 2017 imac 27 inch mid-tier model equipped with an i5-7600k, 24GB of 2666 memory, 2TB Fusion drive (128GB NVMe + 2TB spinning drive) and a 8GB Radeon 580 and i´m really tempted to open it and upgrade everything i can. With that i would need an i7-7700k, a samsung 980pro 1TB ssd (with adapter) and a WD Blue 1TB Sata SSD. But here is the question.. It would make a significant difference in performance? i do mainly web based work and some large database querys locally.Doing it with everything new would cost me arround 400 usd. Other question, with that combo (980pro + wd blue) would be better using the fusion tech or just run everything separated? If you guys have any other suggestions or different aproaches please feel free to comment. Thanks!

So I have a 7700k, 2 x 8 GB @ 2400 and rx480, I've been wanting to upgrade the GPU, until I realized I need more storage and my ram had made me crash for the last time the other day. So I have some GSKILL neo 2 x 16 3600 in the mail and had just installed a Samsung 980 Pro, only to realize I cant even use the 980 to its full potential from me being stuck on PCIE 3.0. So what do I do? Do I upgrade the CPU now? Do I wait until the gen following AM4 comes out and buy new graphics card for the time being? I can wait on the card, the rx480 gets me by well enough until I can find 3070 for like 300$ (used). So my big memory upgrade is here but cards are sold out right now. Are any of the new processors really worth it? Is ddr5 going to be a thing to wait for in the near future? I like my cities skylines, thats my cpu bottleneck. My GTA takes forever to load, hopefully the faster ram helps but the idea was that the 980 pro would make it faster but... nope. I'm at a loss for what to do. Just need some feedback, no concrete plans.

I have a 7700k on a Strix Z270H and I'm running 2 x 8Gb @ 2133. (stock speed) + RX 480 if that matters I found an amazing deal on some trident Z neo 2x 16 @ 3800 but dont know if I can even use it with my processor. The MOBO supports all speeds up to 3866 so I should be good to get that fast stuff right? if not, a slight downclock? How much of an improvement should i expect? for reference I run ~80 FPS on GTA V 1440p high settings i believe. It could be high but i probs lowered the FPS killers. Dirt 5 is meh FPS wise but i think I blame my gpu for that. cities skylines runs smoothish. Its not a bad system but has its moments of weakness I just want to know if the speed increase is a boost that's worth the price, because I could save half by buying an identical kit of 2x8 @2133. So will my i7 7700k be fine running that high 3800 memory well? if not, im stuck with buying a lame identical kit.

Good evening, boys and girls. I've never overclocked before, and whem you see my cooling set up you will think I'm a lunatic for not. I just overclocked my CPU from 4.2ghz stock to 5.0ghz at 1.32 volts. I just ran a stress test with Intel Extreme Utility for 30 minutes, and the temperatures cruised at 70 degrees Celsius. Is that even possible? Thats not even 15 degrees over the temperatures when I ran the test at stock! Is it possible my PC is misreporting the temperatures? RELEVENT SPECS CPU: i7 7700k 5ghz, 1.31 volts, delidded, Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut liquid metal on the inside, Kryonaut on the outside. COOLER: Noctua NH-D15 FANS: 5 bequiet Silent Wings 2 case fans, (4 140mm intakes, 3 front, 1 bottom, and 1 120mm rear exhause) 2 SIlent WIngs 3 fans (used to be attached to a radiator) CASE: bequiet Silent Base 801 with airflow front panel from 802 model As you can see I have a very premium cooling solution, but I did all that to make my computer quiet, as you can see from the BeQuiet case and 6 fans. By the way, the system was completely silent up until I did the stress test. I was successful! But I need more performance now. If this really is how much thermal headroom I have, what is the limit here? SiliconLottery archives say the highest quality chips can push 5.3 ghz at 1.4 volts pls help? I guess my CPU would be dead by now if something was really wrong. Thanks in advance!

Hi i have an issue where When i turn on / Restart my pc it runs awesome i run a MaxxMem2 test and my results are 32000mbs Read , 38000mbs Write ,38000mbs Copy and around 52ms of Latency everything runs great! Although After i game for a couple hours or so and go to Test my Read speed on Maxxmem2 will drop to 24000mbs and games will not be as responsive but its always after gaming for a couple hours or so i don't have any other programs open than when i run the test before but it repeatedly drops and i cannot work out why . I have tried leaving it a while before running the test again to see if it was a heat issue but no difference it will stay slow until i restart the pc . It is only the Read speed affected Write, Copy & Latency stay the same . Can anybody help me with this ? My pc specs. Intel I7 7700k , Asus z270p , G.skill 32gb 3600mhz cl17 ram , Corsair 550w psu , Asus Tuf Rtx 3070 , Sabrent Rocket q 1 tb Win 10 pro Also everything is Updated through Windows and Snappy Driver installer my Bios is Fully updated to the latest Version and I have run Testmem5 without any Errors . I only have a picture of the test after restart because i forgot to screenshot before restarting. I appreciate any help thanks

Hello all. My first post here.. My specification: i7 7700k (not overclocked) MSI Z270 SLI PLUS I bought a pair of dual channel RAM 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) 3200MHz. The problem what I have is that I can't get them to 3200MHz. Maxiumum what I get is 3000MHz. Tried manually inputting the timings which are seen by the Motherboard (16-20-20-40). What else can I do? Tried the "Memory Try It!", turned of XMP and went the manual way.. can't get it working. Never POSTs. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I just started with overclocking my 7700k. I delided my CPU with LM and got some pretty good results watercooled, or so I think. I can overclock my CPU to 5 GHZ at 1.27V -0 AVX at 70C for daily use. I can reach 5.2 with 1.36V -AVX at around 82C. Are does good values? Have I got one of those "golden" chips Thanks

Hello LTT forums! Long time first time here. I currently have an Intel i7-7700k running on a Z270 chipset, and recently acquired an RTX 3080. I only game on the system, but I am seeing a large bottleneck from my CPU gaming at 1440p/144Hz , making my frame rate very unstable (and GPU-Z is only reporting ~60% GPU utilization while gaming). I'm thinking this could either be my CPU or my motherboard power delivery. I also got a new 850W PSU for the system. I see that I have two (technically 3) paths forward: 1) Upgrade CPU+mobo to 3rd gen AMD or 10th/11th Gen Intel 2) Upgrade monitor to 4K (change CPU to GPU bottleneck) 3) do nothin Looking at the gaming benchmarks with a 7700k or AMD equivalent (1700X) and a 3080, I see that any CPU bottleneck disappears when you move to 4K, as almost all games become GPU bottlenecked. Of course, the market for 4K variable refresh rate (VRR) technology isn't very good right now, which would confine me to 4K60 for now. Also not opposed to 1440p (2K) ultrawide The other option is to (basically) finish replacing my entire system by getting a new CPU and mobo, and just keep using my DDR4 RAM. I actually think both options are about the same price (but could be wrong). Here's the wrinkle - I just moved to Europe, so any links will have to be for continental Europe. I'm looking for a discussion on pros/cons of each path. Thanks in advance for your ideas!

So my computer is running really hot not only in bios but even hotter when totally idle. In bios my computer is at a flat 50c and idle can be anywhere between 60 to 80c. When gaming it passes 100 regularly. I've seen these processors work wonders and I have heard that these processors specifically used really cheap thermal compound behind the heat spreader giving this processor some pretty warm temps. In terms of troubleshooting I've tried 3 different coolers including 2 different Corsair water coolers and a Thermaltake heatsink all installed with new and 2 different types of thermal paste. I've built around 15 new computers before and never had any issues like this with the processor over heating(meaning I've checked to insure the coolers are properly attached and can confirm that the cooler is not the issue with my experience). Finally I've reset to default several times and even tryed the eco mode on my motherboard in it's bios to see if the lower voltage would help it with no change. I feel like I've tried everything with this processor and believe that I got especially unlucky with this processor(I bought it new btw) and my only option left is to either delid it or replace it. I just want to know if i missed anything or if there may be other causes like a bad motherboard causing it. Thoughts?

Hello guys. I have an issue going on, whenver i am playing AoE4 now I get this massive FPS drop on my computer. we are talking like 7-14FPS. I have turned all my graphic settings down a notch, but it dosent seem to help at all, i also have all the latest drivers installed. When i open task mananger i can see that my CPU is running on 100% while playing, and GPU is at 30 something... But the funny thing is that several of my friends have the same CPU, but they dont have this problem while playing... My specs should not really be an issue. GPU : RTX 3080 CPU : i7 7700k RAM : 12 GB I first tried capping the FPS to 120 down from 144, and then down to 75- But no chance.... Anyone having the same problem ? Thanks

Hi All! I have a question about my PC build, I built this PC around 3 years ago. I am a Computer science student and so do a lot of coding, video editing, 3d modelling as well as gaming. My current build is as follows; Intel i7 7700k Overclocked to 4.6ghz Evo 220 cooler ASUS Z270-A motherboard Crucial ballistix sport ddr4 2400 single ram 16gb stick GTX 1060 Overclocked to max before stability issues Bronze 550W EVGA PSU Now my question is, I am looking to make some kind of upgrade to my PC before I end up completely rebuilding it to try to get as much power from the system as I can before a complete new build is completed. I dont want to sink to much money into this system unless its a part I will use on my new PC I will be building within the next year. What do you recommend I do to this system to increase the speed without spending much? My current opinion would be to upgrade the RAM to 3000mhz and get two 8gb sticks to take advantage of dual channel. I have also considered upgrading the cooler so I can OC my CPU further, or possibly even doing a delid on it to lower temps and get a higher clock speed. My question is, would I be best to increase the speed of the CPU by delidding it or would the performance be minimal with such a slow RAM and only using single channel, do you believe the ram could be bottle necking my CPU? Thanks for your help!

Hey everyone, I cracked open my already de-lidded 7700k to re apply thermal compound since it has been a few years since I originally delidded and I am regretting it. My mistake was using a teeny tiny bit of super glue to adhere the heat spreader back on. When I popped the head spreader off for the second time (just now) i noticed 2 very tiny points of exposed copper ish color on the PCB. I cleaned everything up as best I could, re-applied thermal compound, and prayed for the best. My computer can only function with single channel memory (16gb. 2X 8gb dimms) in slots B1 and B2 of my asus strix z270e motherboard. I'm an idiot and feel so dumb for putting super glue on my cpu to adhere the heat spreader. i should have just let the clamps hold it down. I tested all of my RAM in all slots. All of the dims are healthy, it's only slots A1 and A2 which are not working but i'm only assuming it's due to my CPU that i fucked up. The motherboard should still be healthy. So i need help deciding if i should look on ebay for a used 7700k or just go for a new cpu/motherboard and a 9700k or move to AMD (i'm open to both, and any suggestions). I bought my 7700k a few days before the 8k series came out and was screwed with socket compatibility on LGA 1151. Cost-wise it would make much more sense just to find a used 7700k and stick with my current platform but i'm quite tempted to go for something newer given how much advance there has been lately in the CPU market. Money isn't too much of an issue, I have a bit to spend and could upgrade to a new platform if I wanted. The other solution is simply just to ride out this CPU as long as i can with the missing memory slots running 16gb. i do not want to do this. i hate the idea of having a crippled system. there is also more potential for the CPU to completely fail and i hate the idea of losing any of my data as i have several hundred GB of photos and video on my computer. GPU is and 1080ti and i do quite a bit of gaming and a lot of photo/video editing w/ adobe products. Thank you in advance for any comments and help! I feel so dumb. I'm currently smoking to relax because i'm super upset :'(

Hey all, I seem to be out of luck with any attempt with an XMP overclock and I'd like to talk about a solution. The Problem For any attempted XMP overclock, my PC will sustain power (including all lighting, fans (default to full RPM), and the water pump) but it will not POST. It will hang with a black screen. Attempts to reboot warm will give the same result, while cold reboot achieves POST with the option for F1 Setup to BIOS. Please also note: A stable non-XMP CPU overclock past 5.0 GHz can be achieved. Specs Motherboard: Asus Prime Z270-AR CPU: i7-7700K (stock settings for XMP testing, Voltage at AUTO, stock Multiplier) RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 4x8GB 3200 MHz Previous XMP Attempts CPU: - I've kept the CPU at stock settings for the XMP profile. RAM (with stock timings ) : - 3200MHz / @3.502 Volts - 3200MHz / @Auto Voltage - 3000MHz / @3.502 Volts - 3000MHz / @Auto Voltage Please let me know what you think! If you have a solution, questions, or suggestions, fire away! I will provide more information upon request (I wasn't sure what else is needed). Thanks as always!

Hey all! I actually have many questions etc. I am relatively good with computers and have had several builds. I built this system about 4 years ago? Just after the release of the 7700k was released. I've always bought unlocked cpus as after a couple years I tend to oc them as high as possible before throwing the towel in and beginning the new system build. Now unfortunately I think I have a bad chip :( I simply can not get 5ghz and I'm stuck at 4.9ghz @1.375v which I feel is too high for that clock anyway, max load temps are around 65-71*C in prime 95 which is fine (I did delid the cpu). The question I have is there something I am missing? I can provide screen shots etc. Also if I can't get this thing to OC more should I upgrade? I'm currently sitting with 7700k, msi Z270 carbon pro, 32gb gskill ram 3200 ddr4(which I can use for the next build). Corsair h115i v2 and a zotac 1070 amp (I've been wanting to upgrade to the rtx 2080 as there are some super good deals where I live atm, the one store is selling them for less then a rtx 2070 super and from my understanding the rtx 2080 is a better card). Could my cpu be limited by my mobo? Will it bottleneck a 2080. I play games @1440p and I'm not happy with the 1070s performance. Thanks in advance!

Please delete if not allowed. Need help figuring out what my pc is worth. I heard 30-50% of purchase price, but I upgraded over the years and can't remember what I bought each part for. Here's a list of parts. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, so I have a Asus Strix z270F with an i7 7700k , stock clocks. The mobo pushes around 1.33-1.34V into my CPU in high loads, which seems way excessive. I tried changing the core voltage in Bios and it doesn't save when booting to Windows. Tried setting the voltage to static, doesn't do anything either. It seems like any changes I make to the voltages in Bios just don't work. I have the latest Bios version. Am I missing any hidden setting that overrides everything I do?

I wanted to build a hobbyist video editing PC. 5820k seemed like a no-brainer until I started researching x99 boards. They seem to be plagued with problems regardless of manufacturer. I thought about buying an x99 board locally for ease of return if needed but the only one within my budget was ASUS x99 A II which has the worst user reviews and the worst customer support. So I went with a 7700k and z270 combo. But now I have nagging doubts. I already knew that theoretically more cores are better for video editing though I couldn't find any benchmarks for Vegas Studio which is what I use. I also have this feeling that higher core CPUs 'age' better. Should I return 7700k/z270 to the store and take a potentially big risk with asus? Or maybe even order an EVGA board online? They seem to have the fewest problems..

Hey everyone, so I have this question I still have a 3rd generation i5 (3570k overclocked, check my profile for details if you want) and I know a lot of people that still run i5/i7 from 2nd and 3rd generations in their setups because of the upgrades never really being worth it here in my country. In short I play games and do some streaming and then the basic tasks (some programming for varsity and then the pc is mostly for recreation). would it be worth getting an upgrade to either the new Ryzen or Kabylake CPUs ? The longer explanation: In terms of use it would be mostly for gaming @1080p 144Hz, and streaming some basic gameplay to twitch (directly from pc using OBS and at a low quality because the internet here sucks :"D) Most of the setup will stay the same and the upgrade is only for motherboard, ram and cpu. The cost of getting the i7-7700k, MSI Z270 Tomahawk and 16GB of Crucial 2400MHz DDR4 ram would be about $785 US (Could also swap out the i7 for the i5-7600k dropping the intel setup to $670 US) and getting the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400Mhz, and ASUS Prime X370-Pro would be about $980 US (But if i swap the cpu for the 1700X and the Motherboard for ASUS Prime B350-Plus bringing the price down to about $760 US because I only plan on having 1 GPU for the foreseeable future). The prices may vary as I checked the conversion rate on the day of posting the topic and my country uses South African Rand (ZAR).

As the title suggest i need some help. My old i5 2500k is starting to throw in the towel after being overclocked to 4.7Ghz for about 5 years and I need something new. After looking at ryzen and seeing it fall short of my expectations I've decided on a 7700k. The problem is choosing the motherboard. I can't seem to find a good buyers guide that addresses what i need in a motherboard. The things i'm looking for: Overclocking capability Bluetooth (preferably of decent quality and range) 3x PCI-E Lanes (speed don't matter) Reliability (not planning on swapping it for 4-5 years so a good warranty or proven reliability is desired) 4+ Dimm slots Price; not looking to break the bank, but I don't want to cheap out either. looking for a bang for the buck option. bonus for high-speed SATA-ports and m.2 NVMe drive expansion possibilities. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

Hi, So basically, I have no intention or need to OC my i7 7700k, as I just use it for gaming really, and as such I have got it set to 4.5GHz @ 1.2V in the BIOS. However, when just running my PC or on a stress test, ROG Realbench in this case, the voltage goes up to 1.3 - 1.35. Is this normal? I have a Gigabyte Z270 GA-Ultra Motherboard with the latest BIOS (F4). Any help with this?
