LOL! Where have you been?

980x at 40% overclock on air 4.67Ghz

 
980X Idle Temperature @ 4.67Ghz= 25C

 
3way SLi GTX570 Auto Fan Control Idle temps

 
air cooled- GPU1=23C; GPU2=24C; GPU3=18C

AHowes

What is that? Cold air cooled? hehe

It's sitting in my freezer wrapped in a huge zip-lock bag. LOL
 
The cpu is scaling nicely too. I think I'll leave it in there. :)
 
New high! Wooot...

 
still within spec. 

My 980x is still climbing! I'm taking baby steps with it though. It seems the more I play with this processor, the happier & amazed I get!
 
  BTW- this 4.8Ghz is on air, with the stock cooler and it's still within specs!!
 

 
Hot diggity dogg!!

Once I find the wall on this proc, I'll do a 3DmarkVantage run. I'm thinking 5Ghz shouldn't be a problem? :)

I'm pulling 55761 on my 3 570s. And i'm not even running a 980x. my 970 does the trick haha

Nice! But no dice!! lol
 
You lost the GTX 570 'Top Dawg' position to my 980X hahahaha!
 

 
Validate on air!
Wooooof!!!

lol...not sure where you're going with this but hyper-threading is enabled.:)
There's no side steppin,' shortcut overclocks going on over here bud.;)
Been benching all day like this...

I'm waiting for you to ask me to prove that this machine is not liquid cooled.

I'll be setting the timer on your reply.

No H-70's, or any fancy water cooling loop...it's just the stock cooler from Intel. ;)

Uh all I asked for was a simple LinX run with those clocks with HT enabled. I'm curious as to stability and temps under a real load. But if it's too much trouble....

Here's two 580's at 950 on air, CPU at an easy 4.5 with a lowly H50...
 

 
 

Here you go Hemi- Screen shot below is with X64 bit; 6 cores and 12 threads X 5 passes. AIDA64 reports a max temp of 85C +/- 2c. However my digital infared/laser temp gun reads 76.2c at the top of the metallic base on the stock CPU cooler. CPU fan on auto and it scaled a little bit, as in, not louder than a whisper.

 
Interesting to note that gigaflops are higher when 6 core/ 6 threads were used, as opposed to 6 cores 12 threads.
 
Here's a summary of six threads @ 10 passes:

Performance Summary (GFlops)
 
  I've got an H-70 sitting on my desk unopened, not sure if I need it anymore. I've been benching for a couple of days now, and like the results that I've been getting. The stock CPU cooler I would say, performs better than an H-50 in my honest opinion at 4.762Ghz. The H-50 is great for those that want a quick stable way up to 4Ghz, but at 4.5Ghz and above it lacks the thermal capacity to keep the 980X within reasonable temps.
 
Does anyone have the H-70 with a 980X, and how does it perform @ 4.5Ghz? I'm thinking about returning mine if it isn't up to par.

He's got 24 GB, so 25K is a tad on the low side for him.

But, as you said, he probably won't even pass one cycle. :P

HeavyHemi

Hmmm lets seee...minuscule problem size and temps rising rapidly out of control. I'll bet if you ran a 25K problem size stress test (the stability standard) it wouldn't make it through one cycle. This isn't about coolers it's about passing a stability test.

 
...wouldn't make it through one cycle? 25K problem size? 

 
Almost flat-lined @ 75C max temp...."temps rising rapidly out of control?"
 
Kick up that 980X to 4.76Ghz with the H-50 and do the same. One for one exchange, I'll bet you couldn't even validate 4.75Ghz. If you want five passes of the above test, give me at least one equal to it, without deviation with your H-50. ;)

Brazen_NL

25K takes close to 5 GB, which is standard for 6GB systems. You need to scale it up for 24 GB. Else, there's not much use for stress testing.

I switch memory sticks often. I'm running 12GB right now, so whatever you see above is the standard default for my system.

yeah right!  I told you above that my infared temp gun clocks in @ 75/76C before I even done that last test. No validation yet????

Did you not read my reply to you?
 
Quoted from post #76-
"However my digital infared/laser temp gun reads 76.2c at the top of the metallic base on the stock CPU cooler."


This was even before I did the test you asked. Now go and validate your CPU @ 4.75Ghz or stay on the porch if the kitchen's too hot for you. ;)

Weak sauce...
