Hi there! I have a Gigabyte x299-UD4 and a Intel i7 7820x, everything at stock settings. I used for a day or so everything worked fine, but today every time I open After effects it gets a BSOD. I can render in C4D with arnold or in Houdini nothing bad happens it works fine, but when I open after effects it gets a BSOD. I tested with an other identical system and the same thing happened, worked for a day and after a day it started getting BSOD, but with 3Ds Max with Arnold as well. Sometimes the after effects can initialize, I can open a project and scrub the timeline for a minute after that BSOD, sometimes when I click the after effects instantly get BSOD. So it seems like not only the after effects cause the problem, but a special group of softwares maybe calling som strange request on the CPU, I don't know. Since I tested two identhical systems, a simple hardware failure is very unlikely. I thinking some kind of bad power delivery for the CPU. It is also very strange, that I can't find anything online, only a on post about this error. If the Gigabyte x299-ud4 mother is bad, I would think the whole internet would talk about this. Any suggestion would be appreciated!

Hi all, Should I buy 7820x or wait for 8700k ? Don't take into account price of respective platforms. Daily workload of this PC will be: playing games (high chance of running two games at the same time), Creo parametrics (modeling SW) with 1 game on backround, playing games while browsing and watching movies (your typical multitasking). Thanks for you opinions

Hi, I’ve recently had a concern on my CPU’s high voltage setting to achieve 5.00 GHz on my 7820x. I’ve had to increase my core voltage to 1.36 just it stable enough to boot but to no avail it gave up in a cinebench run. When I increase my core voltage to 1.365v it seems to have no issues with stability however you can imagine that it’d run very hot under 100% load which really isn’t an issue as it rarely ever does. At idle the temperatures are at ambient and during gaming it would top 43 degrees Celsius. I’ve seen many cases of people getting 5.00 GHz at 1.3v and 5.10 GHz at 1.35v, do you suppose my CPU was just a bad overclocker?

Per the topic, I've searched around for a while but only found opinions While some people's opinions I value, and I came to this forum because I follow the show, please understand I don't really trust "random" people's opinions much. I like statistical analysis. I like crunching numbers and findings percentage differences. What I haven't found yet, is the one thing I want: A benchmark comparison between 8700K and 7820X, *BUT* with the same clock, and with a guarantee that the Asus default OC configuration was disabled, or both CPUs were otherwise equalized via OCing. I found some bench comparisons, of course, but they used an Asus Z370 board and didn't note whether or not they OCed the 7820X, or disabled the default OC setting of the Asus board. I don't care for the price difference, and I won't go for an AMD if a gun was pointed at my forehead Please, you are my only hope in this dark world, forum, save me q_q Thanks in advance, Ziv.

I'm looking to upgrade my computer from the older Intel i7 4790k to one if the newer processors and MB. Long story short, my current i7 will be a hand me down in my family due to their computer is failing. I mostly game and I'm looking to be future proofed for another 4 to 5 years. My GPU is a Zotac Nvidia GTX 1080 and my monitor is a 3440 x 1440 at 100hz be with g-sync.

Hi , I am planning on buying a 240mm watercooling kit for my cpu in a XB evo, though I am really torn between the EK-KIT L240 (R2.0) and the Thermaltake Pacific CL-W063-CA00BL-A DIY LCS RL240 Water Cooling Kit. At first sight it looks like the Thermaltake one is higher quality, with d5 vario and the thick radiator (made out of zinc btw) but I would like to hear your thoughts guys on this too. Thanks!

I had been rocking my 2700k at 4.8GHz for the last 5 1/2 years. I wanted something with the same kind of clocks, but more cores. Along came Skylake X and I decided to give it a shot. My goal was 4.8GHz on all 8 cores being cooled by an AIO. I found success with the 4.8GHz on all 8 cores at 1.285v with temps maxing at 81c during a 2 hour Realbench stability test. This was with the help of a Silicon Lottery Delid. Before that I was stable at 4.7GHz @ 1.235v at the same temps.

About a month and a half ago I completed my second ever build, and shes pretty sweet. I'm using an Asus Strix X299-e with an i7 7820x, being cooled by a Corsair h150i 360mm AIO in push pull, and 32 GB of Corsair Vengence 2666 DDR4. When i got everything up and running my first instinct was to turn on XMP and dial in a modest overclock. I could get to around 4.4 ghz at 1.25 volts with XMP on, but never more than that. After reading on the forums that my CPU should be able to hit 4.7 with that voltage, i began playing around. I even got my voltage north of 1.3 and couldn't make 4.7 stick. Eventually with XMP off I hit 4.9 at 1.25 volts! with peak temps in the 90s but averaging the mid 80s. So I decided to turn XMP back on, and had the same stability issues. I decided to manually enter the XMP numbers with no change in stability. After turning all the timing controls and voltage back to AUTO, and just setting the speed to 2666 mhz I got the stability i desire but temps are hitting the 100's and thermal throttling. I am aware that the memory controller is on the chip, but I don't know what to do from here, do I keep the faster ram? Lower the CPU overclock? Is there some fix that i havent tried? maybe manually set the Dram voltage to 1.2 instead of Auto? Thanks so much for reading, any reply would be helpful.

Hey guys! I would very much appreciate if one of you experts could take a look at my settings here. Basically what im trying to do is to get most performance out of the CPU and make it more gaming effective rather than what other multitasking related processes it is designed for. At first i was trying 4,7 / 4,8 Ghz with all fans at max, but still had some problems with thermals and peaked over 90+ randomly. So I then decided to delid the 7820x with the Rockit 99 tool, did everything right presumably, with no damage to micro components on board, sealed some of the components with nailpolish, high temp silicone glue with a small ventilation gap between the IHS and board. It looked like a clean nice job, and the i used the Grizzly LM conductonaut, just a thin thin layer on both cpu and inside IHS. I also used the same LM on the Kraken x62 and CPU without any spills or issues. Well, i guess i have to take a look under there after 6 moths just to be safe or immediate and noticeable temp fluctuations. What can i say, the results was amazing! I can now even overclock up to 5 Ghz with temps 74c on max load in a couple of hours. For me this was a success. BUT! im not quite sure though. Especially when running the first Cinebench benchmark the score was about 2200. Also showing what CPU count was, 8 cores and 16 threads. The second- or third day, with no changes i do a new benchmark with an ending result of 1570 ish cinebench score. I also noticed in CPU-Z that ut only shows 8 cores and 8 threads. May i have damaged it? all my games is running awesome, i can really see major difference in performance and I am pretty stoked! (mostly in X-plane11, DCS and P3Dv4). Though i am concerned due to what displays and what the cinebench results are. I will post some pictures from Bios, CPU-Z and HWiNFO. (CAM's voltage is waay off compared to what's actual). And btw, some also recommended to turn on Hypher-threading Tech, but that actually reduced the cores to 4 and threads likewise. No joke. (i have HTH off due to P3DV4.3 utilises CPU better that way) My system specs:Intel i7 7820x (oc 4,9 ghz stable)Kraken x62 watercooler.Asus R.

I recently picked up a used and delidded 7820x for 390 Euros with shipping (I couldn't resist that bargin). So do you think I should sell it again or just use it in my rig? Right now the 8700k is 500 Euros(~410 Euros) used here so I don't know if I should keep the 7820x as it was cheaper and has more cores.

so i am thinking about replacing my old computer because it is starting to show its age. (i7-4770k, gtx660, 8gb ddr3 ram) well, it has been showing its age for a while now. this new computer will mostly be used for gaming. but i will be doing some 3d design on it (mostly using Sketchup or CAD), basic photoshop, and some audio and video editing. nothing professional, just for personal projects and hobbies. i do plan on recording my games for YouTube, so it must be able to handle that. but again, this is is just for fun, something to share with my friends and family. i do not plan on making any money off of it. (i have been uploading videos to private so far) i might in the future (and this is a small maybe, most likely i will use a separate computer for it.) use this computer as a local server for my family, and run security surveillance system through it. i have a video card picked out (gtx 1080 ti) that i plan on getting used to save some money. (if this is a bad idea, let me know) , i plan on putting 32gb of ddr4 RAM, i will get an SSD m.2 of about 500gb (i am looking at one from WD right now) and a 2 TB HDD for mass storage. maybe a sata SSD instead of the HDD, but we will see. i plan on using 3 monitors, the center one will be 2k at ~120 HZ ultra wide for gaming. the two on the side will just be plain old 1080p which i will use for my various computer hobbies. i also want to future proof the computer, so that i just have to make some upgrades to it later on, and not have to replace it any time soon. yes, i plan on overclocking everything in the future, when it is needed. i also have a budget of $1800, but i am willing to go over if the performance gain is worth it. (although i will have to save up a little bit longer) i also live in California. so my question is.... i am looking at 3 different CPUs, i7-8086k, i7-7820x, and the i9-7940x (if i get the i9, i will go way over budget, but i am willing to do that if it is worth it) One other detail, i use cpubenchmark.net for my source. ( let me know if they are not a reliable source. ) it looks like to me that the 8086k is the best for gaming, with 6 cores (12 threads) @ 4.0 GHz and high single thread performance. I can also get it for ~$400 at best buy. but i am worried about future proofing it since it only has 6 cores. (which might be more than enough. IDK) the 7820x has 8 cores @ 3.6 GHz. slower per thread so not as good for gaming as the 8086k, but still very good. the higher core count might (hopefully) futureproof it more, and help with my other hobbies. i can get this guy from Fry's electronics for ~$450. last one i was looking at is the i9-7940x. this guy has 14 cores @ 3.1GHz. according to my source, it is just as fast per core as the 7820x but has way more cores. but it cost ~$1150 at newegg. my main concern with the 7940x is that i will never need all those cores. most games use 4 cores in total. (if i remember correctly) will games in the future use more than 4 cores? other CPUs i might have overlooked? (i am not getting a ryzen. not because i am team blue, i really do not care about that. but according to cpubenchmark, the ryzen is much slower per thread than intel. but again, let me know if i am wrong) thank you -Gary

So I'm planing to build a new computer in December but there's so many choices in parts. Ill have about 4500$ NZD and I've been looking at lots of different types of builds I want it for gaming but I also do 3D rendering/animation and video editing as well. and I will probabley get a 4K screen in the next year. I have allredey decided threadripper is probabley not the best way to go. right now I'm trying to decide if I should do a 8700k build or a 7820x build for the 8700k the pricing for the CPU and mobo is about 900$ NZD for the 7820x the pricing for the CPU and mono is about 1500$ NZD The rest of the parts I'm looking at is coolermaster comos case 700$ Samsung 1TB m2 SSD (around 800$) 16 GB of trident z RGB ram (around 400$) I'll upgrade to more latter on if I need to. Posabley gtx 1060, or 1070ti or maybe even somthing from the rumered 11 series that might or might not come out at the end of Q3 but the price of a 1060 is 540$ while 1070ti is 900$ and then just the generic fan cooling and power supply and ect. so with that in mind I'm trying to decide witch of the CPUs would be best to go for? I'm also concerned about the pcie lains where the 7820x has 28 of them while the 7600k onley has 16. There for if my m.2 uses 4 of those the most my gpu can have is 8 or 4 if I decide to sli latter on and I don't know what kind of proformance impact that may have on the overall system. also after watching the 1920x1080 video I'm now also worried about bottlnecking the system.

Hi all, I built my new workstation for video editing on Friday and I’ve been having some major stability issues at stock speeds. Heres what I have i7 7820X ASUS X299 Deluxe 32GB Corsair Vengeance LP 2666MHz CAS 16 GTX 1060 6GB (from previous build while I wait to see what RTX is like) Samsung 970 EVO NVMe 500GB boot drive 2x 1TB WD Blue NAND SATA SSD in RAID 0 (editing drive) 2x 250GB SSD in RAID 0 (cache drive) 2x 8TB Seagate Barracuda in RAID 1 (storage and backup drive) Corsair H150 Pro 360mm AIO Corsair HX850i CPU package temps at full load are rarely over 65c, custom fan curve set for case fans, cooler and psu to kick in at 40c and as low as possible or off up until then. Idle temps sitting around 25c. Only settings changed in BIOS are turning on XMP and RST, and turning off the motherboard boost profile to let the CPU handle it. The CPU runs at 4GHz max, never seen it use Turbo Boost 2 or 3. I’ve had crashes in windows at 10% utilisation, when stress testing in AIDA64, doing basic tasks in Premiere Pro and during some gaming. Since the first crash I’ve been keeping an eye on temps and utilisation and other than the stress test, the utilisation has been averaging around 10-40% when crashes happen. I’ve double and triple checked every connection to the motherboard, reseated the CPU and RAM and GPU, checked drivers (all up to date and all installed) and checked Windows Update. One very weird thing I’ve noticed, when I run a Performance Monitor report in Windows, all the system ratings (CPU, Gaming graphics, Graphics, Disk and Memory) all show as poor or very poor. I’ve exhausted my knowledge in terms of getting it stable, I think I might need to return the CPU or MoBo but not sure which and as a freelance video editor, time is money and I’m running behind on jobs. So, all you lovely people, please help!

I'm really confused... After some stability issues with my new build, I saw a few posts mentioning putting the CPU voltage mode to adaptive and increasing the max voltage to 1.20v. My stability issues seem to be sorted but in CPUID HWmonitor its showing rediculously high core clocks. My system specs are: 7820X, ASUS X299 Prime Deluxe, Corsair H150 Pro, 32GB 2666MHz RAM, Samsung EVO 970 500GB NVMe boot drive, GTX 1060 6GB. Any idea what would cause this and should I be worried?

I'm thinking of getting the 7820x but I'm wondering what all I could do with it. I have a specific situation I wanna pitch and if it'd be felt as a performance drop when doing it. I want to game, stream at 720p 60fps 3500 bit rate, and render a video all at the same time. Would it be able to handle that, and would it not be felt in my user experience?

im upgrading from a 5820k to a 7820x , i got myself a x299 gaming 7 gigabyte board , i plan on OC'ing the 8 core cpu either with automatic at first or might do manual OC. is a nh-d15s enough for the cpu ? without a OC i think its fine .im wanting to know with a OC , like anyone else who has the same chip or the 10 core ect if they have used a tower cooler . i got the 140mm fan that came with it and its either a 2400/3000 rpm ek vardar 120mm on the front of the tower cooler , set to min 45% pwm . i know the x299 cpu's run hotter then my x99 one , i do have a h115i corsair AIO but i was having temp issue with it on my x99 board . thats why i got the tower cooler , AIO wouldn't stay at a good idle temp for more then a week . never figured out if it was the board having some issue with the mount of the AIO or it was the AIO already dieing , its not even 9 months old was a RMA replacement for my h110i when it died . (was brand new the cooler above .ant a refurb). idle with the tower atm is in the low 30's c and 100% load high 50's low 60's @ 4.3ghz 1.25v . if the tower cooler wont do any suggestions i will take , i rather stay away from AIO's if possible . i do have my old 2011 custom loop parts but i know i would need a block upgrade

Hi there! I am building a two-PC streaming/gaming setup and I wanted to know which processors would be best in each system. I already have the parts. The two CPUs I have are the i7-7820X and the i7-8700K. One build is meant strictly for gaming. By gaming, I mean AAA titles and emulation. The other is for streaming and recording that gameplay and rendering. I suppose this goes back to the old core clock vs core count debate: the 7820X is baseclocked much lower, at 3.6 GHz, but has 8 cores, and the 8700K is baseclocked at 3.7 (but can be overclocked far higher easily, which I intend to do) and has 6 cores. I know for emulation in particular, core clock is immensely important as it usually only utilizes 2 cores, and also that many games don't take full advantage of threading and cores. Note: I will be using software (CPU) encoding for the streaming. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Finished The X299 4K streaming rig, it's alive !! Sod the cable management, it's rackmount i7 7820X 32GB DDR4 Corsair H100i Samsung 960 Pro M.2 Magewell 4 channel HDMI capture card BMD 5 channel 6G SDI Capture card BMD HDMI/SDI monitor card.

Hi Everyone, I think I want to build a gaming/editing machine around i7-7830x because of socket 2066 I think I could potentially upgrade this setup for many many years to come. On the other hand the i7-8700 is cheaper and it's motherboard should be upgradable as Well. If I have the extra cash is the i7-7830x the better future proof option?

Hello, as the title says its about the Intel 7820x and the ryzen 1800x. Iam thinking of buying one of those CPUS and a motherboard going with it. Now my question is what would be better for Livestreaming and Gaming in 1080p60fps or at last 720p60fps? ive seen quite a few videos about the 2 cpus in comparison to each other while gaming and streaming but they never specify what settings they use for testing or anything, just "oh streaming on high" or "recording and streaming in good quality" but i want some Hard and nice facts, i want numbers and such stuff. Right now i have a 6600k from intel with 16 GB of corsair vengance Ram, some hard drives and a SSD and a GTX 970 by MSI. At the moment iam Livestreaming Destiny 2, BARELY in 720p30fps, the game alone already eats up 85-100% of my cpu Power so when iam streaming in 60fps and alot of stuff is happening the frames drop quite violently EVEN if iam not encoding with my CPU! it still eats away all my cpu peformance, i gave up compleatly at trying to Encode on my CPU cause thats no where close to being possible with that CPU. So i want to upgrade to a 7820X OR a Ryzen 1800X since i want to stream regulary. The price difference is already huge, (iam from Germany) the I7 7820X with a new motherboard and a new cooler would cost me around 900€~ the Ryzen 1800X with a new motherboard and cooler would cost me around 600€~ thats quite a huge price difference. So what do you guys think, wich CPU should i get? or should i maybe wait Cause intel is droping something that will crush the 1800X Price/Peformance ration? And maybe someone got experience with those CPUs and streaming, cause i would love to hear what people say about it that use it for the same stuff that i want to use it for.

Hello Humans. So it is time for me to upgrade my (very) good old i7 2700k @4.5 build. I'm a video editor That shoots a lot of 4k mov material (Panasonic GH4) and occasionally receive Proress 422 and other demanding formats for editing. I know that there is kind of a lot of material out there about this topic and believe me I watched and read it all (Yes, the Pugetsystems articles as well...) , still, can't come to a decision. I'm mainly Premiere Pro user but also After effects and Photoshop. No Vray/cinema4d in the near future. So What are my main concerns and needs (I believe in the right hierarchy ; ) ) 1. A powerful build with the emphasis on Live Playback (I believe rendering time is a tad over rated). 2. Stable environment as possible (not afraid of a little tweak here and there) 3. A future proof build that will make my old i7 proud. My budget is flexible in the sense that I'm a freelancer that works real hard and wouldn't mind paying the price - if it really justifies it. So: a. Does anyone here have an experience with 1 of the three Cpu's ? (I'd love to hear about it) b.Will a 1700x meet these 3 requirements ? c. What would you recommend ? d. am I asking the right questions ? I'll just add that the rest of the build will be pretty identical in all three scenarios : 64 GB Ram (16X4) GTX 1070 (Still from my old rig, there's a limit to how much a man can spend) Sandisk ultra 512GB for OS and programs Samsung 960 Evo 1TB nvme m.2 for source files and a bunch of other ssd's and a raid array for exporting, cache etc (I will dig more for the best Disk array later) Thanks to all
