Wow condemned5, sorry to see that. I used the same tool as you on 4 processors and non of my IHS were scratched at all.

So  4.9 @ 1.27 was good... 5.0 I kept getting BSOD until 1.345 but at that voltage it wasn't passing stress tests and the temps were going up to 90C...
 
It's actually better to run at 4.8 @ 1.22 than it is to run 4.9 @ 1.27.  I get lower temps that peaked at 80C and the system is stable...  4.9 @ 1.27 was peaking 87C.
 
Either way, from 4.2 to 4.8 or 4.9 is a good OC.... I'm done banging my head against the wall with this. 

Sorry to hear about 5ghz being unstable. What were you testing with, Prime or IBT?
 
 
I'm also curious when you were peaking at 87C on 4.9ghz, were you running IBT, and what was your average temp. When I was testing at 4.9ghz with VCore set to 1.325 at Maximum on IBT for 40 minutes, my average temp was in the 70s C and it peaked at 82C with average VCore at 1.349 and a high of 1.352.

I honestly don't remember now... been under the weather the last 36 hours and didn't touch the PC.
 
I went through the entire process this morning and it pretty much went like this...
 
4.8ghz = 1.22 passed LinX and IBT High/Very High with peak temp 82C... average temp upper 70's  vcore peaked around 1.3
4.9 ghz = 1.28 passed LinX and IBT High/Very Hgh with peak temp 84c ... average temp 80C           vcore peaked around 1.32
5.0 ghz = BSOD at 1.295 and 1.32, booted to desktop at 1.345...  first LinX test temps went up to 90C and failed... didn't press the issue.
 
In all cases I'm running with a -3 AVX offset...  as said I'm tired of banging my head against the wall with this.  AVX heats up the CPU at least mine anyway... LOL  Outside of Handbrake (which encoded a video just fine with temps in the 70's) it's my understanding I won't run into AVX instructions much anyway... and my temps don't even hit 80 outside of these AVX stress tests.
 
I didn't run Prime95 at all....  no reason really.  Figuring I saw all I needed to see with LinX and IBT.
 
Thoughts?  Good to go at 4.8 or 4.9...
 

Don't worry about it to much 4.9 vs 5.0 it means didly in gaming and even encoding . It's why I run 4.9 where I can be stable in everything other then avx at a cool 1.27v. most times I just run ROG real bench for an hour and call it a day. Your temps are on the warmer side. but how fast was your pump/fans going? But my thoughts at end of the day unless you have the desire to tinker I'd move on and enjoy 4.9ghz.

Sounds pretty much the same as me... stable at 4.9...  I'll download and run that ROG tonight and see how it goes.
 
Fans are at 50%, pump at 100%.
 
Don't really have much desire to continue with this LOL... I'm good with 4.9 ...

ah I ussaly run these stress tests at 100% fan speed but then my one big fan on my phateks cooler is only 1500rpm guy. ROG real bench is much more real world test when I run it to test CPU I ussaly take of gpu oc just to make sure it's not interfering. Avx2 the p95 and ibt use unless you plan a specific number crunching or other application the uses it is very overkill . Many will use it for that reason. But it's almost like needing to have a daily driver car race track stable.

Well finally got time to fool around with the PC... it's been a busy few days.
 
4.9ghz @ 1.27 is what I'm gonna run with... just spent an hour running multiple bench/stress tests for 30 mins and all was good.   I ran prime95 blend... temps in low 70's.  I ran IBT on high average was 72C peaked at 81C max vcore 1.295. 
 
I ran it again on very high average 76C peak 83C max vcore 1.304.  
 
I didn't even attempt 5ghz... like I said when I tried it the other day I had to go from 1.27 all the way to 1.345 before it even allowed me to boot so I'm just accepting the fact I'm a whole lot better off at 4.9 on this PC.

Yeah 4.9 looks to be very good here.  These temps I just mentioned were all at 100% pump 65% fan.  Silent and efficient... I could have tested at 100% fan but wanted to see what my 24/7 fan speed what do and it's fine.
 
I also ran ROG Realbench and temps were fine with it as well.  Nothing else to see here...  Still got a little tinkering to do on GPU but for the CPU I'm calling it good at 4.9ghz.

I performed a delid on my CPU and watercooled my 1080 ti, my idle temps are ok.
 
Gameplay temps
CPU: 50-60c
GPU: 35-60c (obviously depending on the game)
 
Idle temps
CPU: 28-34c
GPU: 28-33c
 
I was hoping for the awesome temp drops everyone was experiencing after the delid, however not much changed. I should also note that I am not overclocking at all and I'm on a full waterloop build.

Not every CPU needs a delid.  What were your temps prior?  What's your ambient room temp?
 
My GPU gameplay temps are in the 40-45 range...  The highest I've seen in anything was 49.  I'm in western WA though... room temps are in the 60's year round and that does make a difference.  CPU gameplay temps are about the same... although mine idles lower.   I'm around 25 CPU and 20 GPU at idle.
 
I'm also OC'ed to 4.9 Ghz on CPU and + 175 core +100 memory on GPU.
 
I'm guessing your ambient temps are a bit higher than mine.

Those are pretty good temps for the cpu. My 7700k delid with liquid metal is still hitting up to high 70s during heavy gaming - though it's overclocked to 4.9 on 1.28v.
 
The gpu isn't bad but I've been seeing about the same as TRClark with 50C being the tops during heavy gaming (EKWB same as you). Ambient temp and fan profile could be playing into those temps.

For sure the ambient temps... we have the same CPU OC.  I just spent 2 hours playing BF1 and was topped out at 4900mhz and 2063mhz on GPU and my CPU peaked at like 53C and the GPU was at 38C... LOL.... it's like 66 inside with no humidity.  I really love living in the PNW... don't miss the hot humid south at all.

Well I was bored last night so I decided to see what I could do about 5ghz... and actually hit 5.1ghz @ 1.39v.  Passed the stress tests with high temp being 85C.
 
I guess I didn't do too bad in the silicon lottery... at least with the CPU.  In case anyone can't see the sig... here it is.

5.1ghz, very nice!

Nice job man congrats!
 
Im thinking of deliding mine as well right now idle is 40-50c and ambient is 20-23c. I turned the turbo clock off because it would touch the lower 50s on idle.
 
Under some games that are cpu heavy im getting up into the 60+. Im just not used to having a cpu run so hot without ocing etc. The only thing holding me back is ive never done a delid ive only seen it done a few times with and without a jig of some sort.

Yeah... not too shabby.  According to Silicon Lottery only about 26% of 7700k chips make it to 5.1ghz under 1.4v so I'm chalking it up as a win.  I don't see myself being in the 5% that get to 5.2ghz and I'm totally cool with that... LOL
 
It's running great at 5.1ghz... temps are still plenty good with the Kraken x62 on top of things.

Has anyone tried or seen an EVGA hybrid cooler modded with a 240 rad, instead of the 120 rad?  Just curious, was thinking of doing this to my 1080Ti FE

I'm curious as to why? 120 gets it done with load temps in the low 40's for most people.  I've even been upper 30's on mine while gaming.

Thanks... and what cooler are you running?  I'm around 18-20c ambient and idle around 25-28C and thats with a 5+ghz OC.  Something doesn't seem right with your temps at least at idle...  60C at load isn't all that bad.
 
Delidding is super easy with a jig... google the Rockit 88 tool. 
 
Don't be that guy that breaks his CPU trying to pop the lid off with the CPU clamped in a vice.

Ive been doin this too long to be "that guy" to even introduce a pc component to a vice! Thats y i havent delid my proc yet because if im going to do it, its gonna be right. Yep i saw the the 88 tool and a few others. Money is tight atm i just redid my build so adding more to it is a no go! Im already in hot water with the misses and i only went about 500 over budget!
 
Right now im cooled with a koolance 360 water block on a 360 koolance rad and a single 120 hardware labs. This loop does contain 2 mosfet blocks as well. Thermal paste has been applied for a second time just to be 100% sure with no result change confirming the paste job was fine the first time. The temp is pretty sporadic it goes anywhere from 36-48 atm.

Just installed mine last night and wow this card runs 10+ C cooler than my 980ti Hybrids, very happy. I am at 24c idle and 41c max, like a whole new card.
 

What fans are those?

Looks like the NZXT RGB AER fans. I could be wrong mind you...

Yeah man! My 7700k was like that. It was hitting 90s at stock in AVX tests. 70-80 during encoding. Did the paste 3 times. Delid dropped 20c.

A nice little trick to pull the cooler off the pcb is to separate the pcb at the power end before taking all the screws out. Watch part 4:10 carefully he breaks the thermal seal here while leaving the screws in where the display ports are where the exhaust comes out from. So now when its time to take the whole thing off it comes off very easily! My first time i did not know this trick and was trying to pry it apart which was very hard. This way is using leverage and more controllable!

Hi everybody,
 
So I have the hybrid kit on the way for the 1080Ti...I have heard the instructions are horrible.  Can anyone give me any pointers or video links?  I havent been able to find anything for the 1080Ti hybrid install.  Also, I have some high grade Noctua thermal...leave what comes on the kit or get rid of it all and just apply some Noctua paste to the GPU? (after removing stock thermal on GPU and stock thermal on the AIO kit)
 
Chuey

I replaced the stock TIM and added GCExtreme and it worked well.
 
That video that was linked is what I used to familiarize myself with the tear down process.  The instructions are definitely lacking but following that video (and the follow up part 2 video to a degree even though it's a different model hybrid kit) helped me out.
 
Good old common sense got me the rest of the way.  Wasn't difficult just time consuming.  You'll need a precision screwdriver kit and a 4mm socket or nutdriver.
