How is that predator working for you was debating on whether or not to pick one up. But wanted to swap out cpu block for 3x 980ti blocks quick solution for cooling 3 gpu s. Mostly just wondering if it could handle that load.

Erm, I'm using the 360 all on my skylake. The gpu's have their own aio's. I think it could handle 3 cards without the cpu.

Already own an AIO for my z170 just wanted to find the best and cheapest solution to cooling 3x 980ti.
Even if I were to pop off the CPU water block and attach it to 3 way serial or parallel bridge it would be cheaper than assembling my own piece by piece. theoretically it should be able to dissipate the heat just wondering overall build quality I also like the looks of the contained res and pump. Sorry for the confusion.

I noticed when using adaptive voltage my board is completely stable at 4.4 with +25 and speedstep enabled. but the problem with using adaptive is it stays at a constant 4.4 never falls back. when I set manual voltage it does. I am not sure if this is a windows 10 bug or a bios bug. anyone else experience this?

could anyone tell me why CPU frequency is CPUz shows stock when disabling turbo boost even though set manually in bios? but when turbo boost is enabled it shows the correct over clocked cpu speed?

 I have the opposite in my bios, I cannot find any way of setting it so that it will allow me to run a static OC clock speed, it always falls back when idle, even if on manual voltage settings in the bios. The only way i can find to get a static OC is by setting minimum processor state to 100% in windows power options advanced settings.

I have to have speedstep and turbo enabled too, or it will not show any OC and just seems to boot up with everything at stock except the voltage changes.
 
And CPU-Z doesn't show correct vcore, it looks like only half or less of the actual value and ranges from 0.320-0.616 depending on load.
 

 
I don't know if this is how it is supposed to be but it all seems a bit odd to me.
 
 
 

Looking at E-LEET I see my CPU Vcore is jumping up to 1.8 and back down to 1.2 and everywhere in between. This is on a 6600k with an overclock target of 4.4ghz. I followed the guide. I set the BIOS to adaptive, did 25mv increase only. Used the XMP profile for memory. My temps in prime95 looked good for the 5 min's I was doing it before noticing Vcore way up there. I can't boot in to Windows 10 if I don't add the 25mv. I didn't try lower than 25 either, though I'd doubt that would matter.
 
I found this guy with the same question it looks like: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2849428/6600k-abnormally-high-vcore.html
 
Input is appreciated!

cpuz never really shows correct voltage.  I guess the way intel is doing the overclocking is through turbo boost. I fixed my issue by setting the processor state in control panel and it now throttles down. past overclocking I never had to do this. unless I just never noticed it

use adaptive voltage and set target voltage. instead of using the +25  leave it at 0.

It seems to show correct voltage for every other brand of Z170 board that I've seen, except EVGA. Examples can be seen at many other forums.
