    Cinebench R15 - 1001 @4.5 GHz Could not break 48C degrees max temp with this small overclock. I wonder what the max temperature have been with same clock speed as stock 6820BGA / [email protected] GHz :D

    Cinebench R15 - 1065 @4.8 GHz same score as before. Next time maybe :D

    Question is how long before @Mr. Fox moves to Norway to bench with -10C ambient?

    since we are talking abt bandwidth limitations on tb3 i think that an active tb3 cable would help to alleviate the bottleneck , thoughts ???`

    P.S tnx for the for the whole plethora of info on egpu and for actually testing it.

    uh huh, see what intel is capable of when they FINALLY DECIDE to leave the igpu as it is and use all optimizations for moar cpu powah? im telling you, they only did that in order to quiet down the critical voices concerning their change from tick-tock to arch-node-opt!!!

    You never know where Intel jumps. From the failure 4770 to 4790 also took a jump. Perhaps Intel is afraid that people are waiting for Cannonlake? More power means easier to push people on Kaby lake.

    You do not need an active cable for lenghts less than /equal to 50cm. If you need a longer cable, then in order to achieve full 40gbps you will need an active cable. Afaik I know there aren't any active cables out there yet. But with a 50cm cable you get full 40gbps as it is.

    Again guys. Please refrain from posting eGPU questions in this thread.

    Of course, we are not comparing on a clock to clock basis so this gain is not only the result of the refined architecture that Kaby Lake employs but also the result of the increased clock rate.

    That's 4.2GHz on 6700K (assuming they left boost on) with unknown RAM configurations vs 4.5GHz on the 7700K for single thread benches.

    And even if turbo is disabled on multi-core, it's still 4.2GHz vs 4GHz. IPC bump is not nearly as impressive as 40% single/20% multi.

    The question is whether Intel has taken away some of the headroom for further overclocking with this release. Then will this upgrade be worth less. But we can hope!! :confused:

    I think that would probably weigh 15Kg and be 24" in size

    And we'd still have heatsink problems.

    And we'd need two 900W PSUs

    Might as well toss in a Skylake-E chip. 12-core 24-thread 7960X for $3000, two titan X Pascal mobile in SLI for $2500 each... sounds about right. $15,000 for the whole package with some SSDs and a 120Hz 8-bit 1440p IPS 4ms response time panel

    The bigger the better... But, yeah, a single 1080 mobile is about the same price as Titan XP, so I'm sure if that even existed they would rape us on the price even worse.

    A single card with a 330W TDP though (higher than the 250W reference) in the existing chassis would be so nice.

    Or whether Intel will continue to implemented some weird Current Limit Throttling like circus stunt like they have in Skylakes. Oddly as tested, including my own it doesn't seem to affect the fps or benches....just odd...

    This is a replay of the last round, which @Prema BIOS/EC fixed and @unclewebb helped to mitigate with ThrottleStop. In fact, I made a video about it (see below). It's not an "Intel thing" per se... more like some of the OEMs that can't release decent firmware if their lives depended on it. Even some desktop Skylake motherboards have had issues with current limit throttling, but not all of them do.

    No, it's definitely undesirable behavior. It does affect benchmarks, too. Once @Prema fixes it, you'll see benchmark scores improve. But, it is not a CPU problem... I'm fairly confident that defective firmware design is the reason for it. It may also be some kind of power-saving filth in the firmware that contributes to it. I think we would all be better off if we could shake off the ludicrous obsession with reducing power consumption that is plaguing the computer industry. It really sucks. To impose any kind of TDP limitations presents performance limitations.

    The current limit throttling tends to worsen as GPU power demands increase. Borked firmware that tries to power balance between CPU and GPU is pretty nasty. The first evidence of that for me was in the Alienware 18. Dell really botched up that BIOS and the behavior was similar to the problem many see with Skylake today. The Alienware 18 with a 4930MX never has CPU throttling until you start overclocking the crap out of the GPUs and then it kicks in. Of course, they probably felt that they had to do that simply because a single 330W AC adapter is/was woefully inadequate for an overclocked 4930MX and overclocked 780M SLI.

    I am in the process of delidding my 6700k in my P870DM2 and I will be using CLU for the CPU. I have the vapor heatsink from the P870DM3, even though I only have a single 1080 in my system, and I will need to remove the GPU heat sink to get to the CPU. My question is, should I still use IC diamond for the GPU heat sink, which was the case for the P870DM or has this recommendation changed for the P870DM2/3?

    Folks any idea how to know when my GPU fanis running? Is here a program to manually set them up, like makethem go on max when playing a game? All the games I am playing lately are overheating the GPU and crashing the laptop... Its insane.. The Fan speed in the Myth Control Center is the CPU fan right? so any answers on the questions above? thanks.
