Posted September 14, 2018 I find it odd that you've gone so far, yet still not all the ram slots have been filled. That is one sad xeon in there just waiting for the day it'll reach MAXIMUM capacity. Does it run on single channel or triple channel in your current config?

Posted September 18, 2018 Author It took me a some time to figure out how to set up the aquero, but finally it was set. The pump is set to operate from 40 to 100% depending on CPU temp The fans are set to run from 500RPM to 1100RPM based on the liquid temp. 1100RPM is a comfortable noise level on SW3 fans After half an hour stress test (AIDA64 + Heaven) the loop was equlised with the following result: CPU (OC 4.2 gHz BCLK 200 Multi 21 1.38volts) - 70-72C GPU (stock) - 52-55 C Liquid - 41C Fans around 1000 RPM I'll play with oc a little bit to get the voltage a bit lower. However there is around 10C difference between the cores 1-3 - 65C 4-6 - 75C CoffeeLake build: CPU: i7 8700K OC 5.0 gHz, Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Hero (Z170), RAM: 32gb Corsair Vengeance RGB 3200 mHz, GPU: Asus Strix OC gtx 1080ti, Storage: Samsung 950pro 500gb, samsung 860evo 500gb, 2x2Tb + 6Tb HDD,Case: Lian Li PC O11 dynamic, Cooling: Very custom loop.

When I run other stress tests like RealBench all the cores are very close in temperature. Maybe try a 30min - 1hour run of RealBench stress test and see if it evens out.

Posted February 2, 2019 Author Here is an idea: problem numero uno: looks like old xeon is degrading, bluescreening for no reason what so ever, freezes, and in order to have it stable I had to downclock it back to stock 3.3 gHz. Just loaded bios default values, not even RAM XMP. I can always get another one from aliexpress or ebay, but there is no chalenge!!! Problem numero 2: As the x58 mobo and xeon have to go I have 48gb of ddr3 memomory. There 2 ways to solve these problems. I can either go with x79 way and get a 1650 xeon And use 32gb of ram, but the x79 bards cost an arm and a leg. OR I can get z170 board with ddr3 support (there were few made by asus, asrock and gigabyte) and by the magic of internet get it paired with i5 8600k (8700k is a bit too expensive and the vrm on this boards does not look very promising) Looks like i’ll go the hard way))) Any advice?

Posted February 8, 2019 Author I've desmissed the idea of using secondhand z170 DDR3 board. I've bought a brand new board Asus Maximus VIII Hero The price of the board was $100 delivered to my door Also ordered a VRM waterblock from amazon (22 Euro) Also borrowed a TOP OF THE LINE SKYLAKE CPU )))) for testing if it all actually work prepaired a hacked z170-coffee lake BIOS and found a person with tools to update the bios directly on the chip Mobo started with g4400, all is working time to flash the modified bios, mod the cpu and start it all up WISH ME LUCK, so i do not fry my 8700K nor the RAM nor new mobo.

Posted February 18, 2019 Author So far so good here is a short story behind it: got the mobo, got the cpu, mod the cpu, mod the bios with a fully automated tool. Went to a computer repair shop with a programmer tool. Flash the bios chip. And nothing!!! Even g4400 would not start. Bios is corrupted. so i used asus flashback, got a stock bios on the usb stick and success!!! It has started with g4400, but the Integrated NIC goesn’t work. Missing MAC address. I is not very clever all the old data on the bios is erased so no MAC, No serial number, no UUID. spend a few days trying to figure out how I can get this data back. And by lack I went to discord forum where people making it all happen. Got some help. Next day ordered a programming tool, at the “local” shop (it is around 1000km away from me) cost me around $4 and $5 for shipping) waited for a week, got the tool and started to create a new bios with correct mac and serial number (UUID is gone forever) Flashed the bios again with moded bios with all the data. All started with g4400. NIC is working and all is great!!! (“moded cpu” isolate 2 pins, short 2 pins with aluminium foil) stick 8700k into the socket. No LUCK, the motherboard just would not start. Discord chat started with people willing to help. One guru of bios modding sent me a pre-made bios. Flashed again, it is alive, post codes are changing and stop at AD. Nearly successfull post!!! The problem was nvme drive, changed it to normal sata drive and got this screen window is up and running, 15 minutes later another bios is in the mail. Reflash it again. Windows booted from nvme drive. Great!!!! however v-core is a bit too high. Rebooted, set it up to auto, disable multi-core enchantment, applied xmp profile. and here it is: ram is at 3600mHz, cpu is at 4.5 v-core is 1,24 at max with aida stress test. The temps are around 73c With a crappy cooler such as This Got to wait for vrm waterblock to arrive and will integrate it into existing rig CoffeeLake build: CPU: i7 8700K OC 5.0 gHz, Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Hero (Z170), RAM: 32gb Corsair Vengeance RGB 3200 mHz, GPU: Asus Strix OC gtx 1080ti, Storage: Samsung 950pro 500gb, samsung 860evo 500gb, 2x2Tb + 6Tb HDD,Case: Lian Li PC O11 dynamic, Cooling: Very custom loop.
