More on my 5GHz goal. Decided to try 1.5v to see if I could do 5GHz. Well, 1.5v was to hot even with my setup in a cold room with cold water. So hopefully with the delid it helps enough with the thermal transfer.
My new current clock of 4.8GHz is actually 1.425v but 4.9GHz at 1.45v causes Aida64 to say hardware failure detected and stops the stress test. That is when I tried 1.5v and started to thermal throttle instantly.
I still need to do longer than the 25 minutes of stress testing than I did on the 4.8GHz, but I think I can manage that easy staying under 1.45v. Like to test for 6-12 hours, but I think it will do fine at the current 1.425v.
Not a great chip, but not terrible either. 1.5v kind of scares me, and will NOT be 24/7 and just for a few FireStrike runs. Assuming it can do it at 5GHz.
