Haha, no 5ghz+ with that, at least not for long. The 8700k doesn't come with a stock heatsink? Or did you buy an OEM tray?
I ordered some elbow fittings for my h2o, so I can route the tubing better, should be here tomorrow. I also tracked my 1080, scheduled for tomorrow also![]()

"With GDDR6 now available, we do expect to see some announcement rather sooner than later. I honestly am not certain if we'll see any Volta based parts anytime soon given the current status of AMD Radeon cards, Vega is stuck with HBM2 and AMD's yields as the sales volumes show, remain low. Logic would actually dictate a set of refreshes from NVIDIA based on Pascal, then again that is speculation of the highest level. The reason I am saying this is that graphics card prices for Nvidia have risen as we reported a few days ago, indicating there is a shortage. It might simply be Nvidia clearing stock for the new stuff to replace it" Pick what you want of the possible scenarios -
Do no intel CPUs come with heatsinks anymore, or is it just K series ones or i7s or something? I know they were not perfect or the best, but it was good to have something that would allow your PC to work and function right out of the box without buying a third party cooler, and if you were not going to be OCing they were typically more than fine. I know it's a little old but I ran my 2500k with a stock cooler for the longest time and then OC'd it to 4.0 or 4.2 I believe? And that ran fine for quite a while with no real issues or overheating or anything. I get that it gets Intels costs down, but it's not like that cost is reflected back down to the consumer, we are still paying what we always have for CPUs but now they don't come with a cooler so you can't even use them until you spend more money on a third party one which suck.

"The sudden surge of hundreds of thousands of cards in the used market reeks havoc on the market and instead of a severe supply shortage the balance tips to a huge surplus. To the point where the GPU manufacturer is unable to sell their inventory and in some cases have to write it off at a huge loss. Something AMD had to do back in 2014 after the crypto market crashed and used Radeon GPUs flooded the 2nd hand market." Ngreedia + (AMD) just thinking about his own sick mother... Not on the Gamers!! -

Well, this $19 (after $10 rebate) Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is much better than I expected it to be. My temps at 5.0GHz on air are roughly the same as 5.2GHz on water. I did add a second fan for push/pull. So, not a terrible option for someone not wanting to push overclocking as far as their CPU will let them. Pretty respectable, especially for $19. I hope Thermaltake ships my replacement Floe Riing 360 on Monday.
Fortunately, fan noise does not bother me much. This is much louder than before when the fans reach full speed. @Robbo99999

Great news! I just got my system back together today, with new elbow fittings on cooler, and an almost "new" Gtx 1080 FTW. Ran firestrike at stock everything, and score went up 5000 points.
On another note, I came in the puter room the other day, and pressed the power button, and began to do some browsing. I looked down at the lcd screen on my keyboard, and the cpu temp was reading 74c. Of course I freaked and started investigating. The pump had stopped working for some reason. So I took the pump apart, and plugged it back in, and spun it with my finger, and bam, it started spinning again. I thought....great, after I recommended this to you, it takes a ****. I have no idea what happened or why, but thankful I am not on a customer support call now.
I know, you can see the messy desk in the reflection

Glad the pump is working again. Hope it stays that way. Maybe should reach out to them and see if they want to replace it anyway.
I'm also pretty stoked that the puddle of coolant that was on my GPU backplate caused no harm. -

No more errors and able to overclock again so who knows? I guess it's a Micro$loth thing... -

The part of the iCX that I think is awesome is the sensors moreso than the cooler. In fact, I was not aware the coolers were different. GamersNexus has a YouTube video about the iCX sensors. Without them there is no way to know how warm or cool those components are without using hardware/thermal probes.
There is a difference between SC and SC2 as well. My 1080 Ti SC2 will overclock a little bit higher on core than the typical SC.Raiderman likes this. -

It is rated for 185W TDP processors. I am not able to do any severe-duty CPU benching at 5.2GHz on air. 3DMark benching is working OK with 5.2GHz on air. Something happens to make the system unstable with the air cooling if I push the CPU to its limits. Maybe the internal temperature of the chassis is higher now or the CPU is getting thermal spikes that happen before it has time to show up in thermal sensors or something. Not sure why that is happening, but I hope to not need to care about what it is in a couple more days.

Does the graphics score go up if you max out the power and temp target sliders and click the apply button? -

With regard to your overclock, don't forget to overclock the VRAM too, you can get good performance boost from that. My advice would be to simply leave the voltage alone (doesn't make a difference, can make stability worse in a lot of cases), and then max out your core clock with stability testing with looped Firestrike Extreme Graphics Test 1 (probably run for about 1 hr to establish the final overclocks, not the initial ones, they can be done shorter). Then max out your VRAM but use Timespy Stress Test to determine max VRAM OC (leave your max core overclock in place when working out your max VRAM overclock). Oh, and just max out your Power Limit too on the power slider.
Your core overclock looks massive according to GPUz, your core & boost clocks are 1815 & 1942Mhz, whereas mine are only 1707 & 1897Mhz, yet my core will boost to a temporary maximum of 2114Mhz in that state, surely yours will boost higher than that given what I'm seeing in your GPUz screenshots? But I would expect a higher Firestrike score if that's the case, as you're currently only 11% higher score than my GTX 1070. (Don't forget to overclock your VRAM though but that's not really explaining the somewhat low graphics score).Last edited: Jan 21, 2018 -
@Robbo99999 Is that a massive overclock? . I am overclocking vram by 100 mhz at the moment, I dont know how much more it will take, as I am still adjusting stuff to try and figure out where stable benching is.

The physics score can change from one run to the next. It is very sensitive to background processes, so it is probably just a coincidence with changing the power and temp target sliders.
Once you have set your OC parameters you can exit/close out of Precision X. It does not need to be running. When you are striving for a high physics score, shutting down everything that doesn't need to be running helps. You can use Task Manager to kill everything (literally) that is not needed for running the benchmark or Windows. It the service restarts after killing it in Task Manager, then use Services.msc to kill and disable drive indexing, Windows Search, Media Play Sharing, Print Spooler, BITS and kill/disable all third party utilities like XTU services, Macrium Reflect service, all NVIDIA services, etc.... everything that serves no immediate purpose... kill it. You can set them back to Automatic or Manual later if you care to after you are done benching. Most of them can be left permanently disabled until you need to use the functionality (like accessing NVIDIA Control Panel or running Macrium Reflect to create a new drive image).Last edited: Jan 21, 2018KY_BULLET, Robbo99999 and Raiderman like this. -

Notice the drop in CPU and Memory utilization after killing off only a small portion of the unnecessary crap. If I kill it all, CPU use is between 0% and 1% and memory is about 2%.
Also note that Service Host crap really sucks the life out of your system. It is even worse with W10. Where Service Host ends with a number in parenthesis, expand that and kill off individual crap that Windows will let you kill without a warning. If you try to kill the entire stack, it may not work. More example snippets below of the "bundled" filth. You might be able to kill 75% of the individual services rolled up into a single Service Host performance killer.
Besides wasting resources on worthless garbage, anything resident in memory or running in the background has potential to create a condition of instability when the system is under severe stress.Last edited: Jan 21, 2018KY_BULLET, Papusan, Trafficante and 1 other person like this. -

And it's only 13% higher score than my overclocked GTX 1070, and you have 33% more shader cores than me. I'm thinking you should get at least 20% higher score than me, probably more I think.
Did you raise the power limit to 120% like I mentioned? Did you also set "Prefer Maximum Performance" for 3DMark in the NVidia Control Panel? Maybe if you do those things you'll get a higher score.Last edited: Jan 22, 2018Raiderman likes this. -
