All of you guys talking about using auto oc settings and two clicks to 5ghz

I promise you your voltages are much higher than needed for stability and it's gone to hurt you in the long run.

Also google whea error correction and learn how to spot windows kernel errors to see if you're actually stable not just stress test stable. ....

Yeah... 2 clicks meaning the multiplyer and the voltage and inputting values for each. The auto OC bios setting I have only goes up to 4.8ghz.

I've done 4.9 and 5ghz with the highest voltage so far being 1.304v. I think I'm good and can probably go further than 5ghz I just have to get it dialed in. Everything I've read says liquid cooling is good up to 1.4v on the 7700k.

Not a huge concern either way. I'm already running much better than stock and am fine with where I'm at.

shoot 1.3v if stable in realbench or other heavy stress test is pretty impressive at 5ghz

Those numbers are actually being reported wrong by CAM... I pulled up Aida and HWInfo and both show 4900mhz and 1.255v...
 
Like I said, I think I'm good.

dang 1.255v at 4.9ghz is even better will it pass things like intel burn test maxiumum at that voltage? if so thats a nice chip there.

I just ran it... it cycled 10 times and I got the following message...
 
Success! Your system was able to maintain its stability while running IntelBurn Test.  This is usually an idication that your CPU is fully stable, if at least tested with the "standard" stress level.  If you are testing with memory size below standard, please re-test with "standard" or higher stress level.
 
Test completed successfully in 111.34 seconds.
 
Temps did peak at 94C though... but isn't that pretty normal?  It hasn't gotten that high since the delid.  Should I feel good about this chip?

hmm 94c seems a little toasty . But dang it seems like you are stable.are you using a manual vcore? Or offset ? if you are on offset your voltages may be going really high causing that 94c as avx is quite hard on intel. Avx is overkill for most though if you voltages are staying low for normal usage then there's no problem

94C? Ouch... Personally for longevity, I don't like exceeding 85C.

I ran it on Standard setting and it did 10 passes for about 7 seconds each and gave me that message.
 
It's a manual vcore... the offset is set to AUTO so I'm not sure what the value is at.
 
I just set the IBT to maximum and it ran for about a minute and peaked at 98C and I stopped it at that point.  I don't care to damage anything trying to push maximum limits with my CPU.  It didn't crash in any of these tests but it did get into the 90's...
 
... which it doesn't do for normal usage.  I've encoded videos for 3 hours straight at 100% load and peaked in the low 70's... so whatever this burn test is doing I gotta ask, will I ever encounter this in a real world situation?

I don't either... and I haven't went over like 82C since the delid... pretty much everything is in the 60's and 70's.  This burn test pushed me well over 90... AVX?
 
CPU didn't crash at any rate.

weird at 1.255v fixed you shouldn't see those kind of temps . But you will 99.99% never encounter the avx code in real life .

That was actually a typo on my part... it was not 1.255 but 1.225.  Either way, it definitely got warm.  I just ran the maximum test again and peaked at the same 98C after about 1 min... voltage did stay at 1.225 the entire time.
 

HeavyHemi
Yes, I added some info to my prior post.
 
Let me add the caveat here that, I don't use an AVX offset in the BIOS witch reduces the core boost by the offset amount, default is 3 or -300mhz. And yes indeed in both P95v28 and IBT, AVX does really heat up the processor.
 
I'm not familiar enough with your specific processor to know what temps to expect under varying conditions. If people are using earlier versions of Prime or using an offset for AVX the BIOS it skews the results. AVX in P95v28 and IBTputs a massive unrealistic load. But I guess it does serve as worst case for your thermal solution (cooling)

Thanks for info.  No offset here and I don't want results skewed and I don't think they were.. LOL... man, that thing gets hot running the AVX... peaked at 98C after a minute and that was enough for me.
 
I'm all for getting added performance from my PC (and 4.9 or 5ghz is definitely better than 4.2) but I'm not interested in pushing it to the point of damage.  I'm gonna leave it alone now!

Just thought I'd toss this out there...

Could just be something weird with his IBT download or something as it's the only thing running supper hot. It's pretty amazing he passes at 1.225v for ibt as ibt high takes 1.295 v for me to pass 10 runs of high

demon09
if you run CPU z or hwmonitor or if there's a field that says vcore as vid can be off. As I feel like somehow your voltage must be climbing up. But since it only happens in ibt you can probably ignore it for normal use

demon09
 vid is just a voltage ID mine stays at voltage like yours but I have 1.295v keyed in download CPU z and watch core voltage on it. And there should be a fixed voltage but offset is fine . If you do an offset just stay away from avx. my gusse is avx is just making your voltage spike up realy high with how ever your vcore is set up in the bios http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html.
