    Haswell Delidded

    gotta give the guy credit for successfully trolling youtube commenters.

    4670k & 4770k purchased anwhere operating performance thread

    the batch file for linpack doesn't take that long to execute. if you ran linpack manually setting it to loop a problem size of say, 25000 or 30000, for hours it would probably fail too.

    4670k & 4770k purchased anwhere operating performance thread

    i've found the quickest way to get the heat up is to not use the batch file but instead run the .exe directly in interactive mode. double click .exe, skip the first prompt (press enter), problem size -> 25000, leading dimension -> 25000, number of trials -> 1, data alignment -> 4 one trial...

    New linpack from intel

    same here, always an error after every test (if you uncheck 'stop on error'). tested on multiple systems, some that aren't even overclocked. probably a bug between linx and the latest version of linpack.

    4770k heat issue

    haswell does this by design, even if you're running at stock clocks and stock voltage. the only way to prevent the extra voltage juicing is to set a fixed manual voltage.

    4770k heat issue

    is your motherboard running all cores at maximum turbo? remember, intel specifies that this cpu should be running at 3.7 with all cores loaded, but ultimately this is up to the motherboard manufacturers to implement. a lot of them 'cheat' and run all cores at 3.9 instead. this in conjunction...

    What are my 2013 options for a glossy 27" / 1080p monitor?

    it looks like edge to edge glass, but it's really not. none of these slim 'bezelless' ips panels use actual glass in front of the panel, it's thin plastic (probably polycarbonate) and because of the way these panels are constructed they superficially look like edge to edge glass in photos...

    Haswell 4.7 ghz 1.375v max 55 C good/ bad?

    it depends on how the voltage is set. if you set voltage using a fixed manual voltage, the cpu will always be running at that voltage regardless of load or p-state. similarly, using a voltage offset will increase voltage by the specified amount everywhere. adaptive voltage is the only one...

    What can we do to effect an actual change in Intel's corporate policy?

    Haswell: adaptive voltage and OS processor power management

    this is possible, since when using adaptive voltage, the cpu will even more voltage when stress testing with a program that uses avx instructions. that means that if you run regular apps that don't use avx, the cpu is using the adaptive voltage you specified, which may not be stable at your...

    Intel Haswell i7-4770K IPC and Overclocking Review @ [H]

    aida64's fpu stress test is no joke when run by itself (you'll need to untick the other stress test boxes) - on my i5-4670k, it easily drove up temps 10°c higher over prime95 and linx. with the other stress test boxes ticked in addition to fpu, the temps don't get quite as high. on one run...

    Retail 4770k from microcenter OC results

    at idle, cpu drops into c1e (enhanced halt state), so temps and power consumption aren't affected much by voltage.

    De-lid Haswell? Who's with me???

    keep in mind though that on current intel cpu's, the socket clamp pushes down on the ihs/lid to force the cpu down against the cpu socket contact pins. if you remove the lid, you'll need to put some sort of shim in its place.

    Haswell: adaptive voltage and OS processor power management

    offset isn't going to help. setting a positive offset will just increase voltage everywhere. the only way to prevent that .090v jump when stress testing is to use manual voltage.

    Haswell: adaptive voltage and OS processor power management

    it's possible you may have hit a voltage wall at the multiplier you're trying to run. try dropping the multiplier a step and see if that gets you stable at 1.2 volts or lower. on my cpu, i had to push 1.255 volts (adaptive) to get it stable at 4.4, but it will run all day at 4.3 with only...
