    SLI plumbing??

    That I guess would depend upon why you are monitoring them. All my pwm fans are controlled based upon water temperature, my pumps are controlled based upon CPU temperature. This way I never have to deal with the fans spinning up and down wildly with cpu load, so except in the cases of lengthy...

    Haswell-E is a oven.

    It's likely the reviews you are referring to are comparing them using a mainstream quad core. Six/Eight core HEDT chips bring quite a bit more heat load to the table. I wouldn't want to rely on a 120/140 sized radiator to cool a HW-E.

    5930K w/ Asus X99 Rampage V Extreme OC

    I don't think you'll be needing those. That EK AIO comes with the EK Varder F4-120ER fans, supposedly they are about the best fans currently available for noise vs. airflow.

    1366 x58 Xeon Enthusiast overclocks club

    The X58 platform has had exceptionally long legs and has been given a great boost with these cheap six core Xeons floating around that can clock well beyond their intended speeds, but don't kid yourselves. I have an X58, X79 and X99 and my 5960X even at it's daily settings (4.5GHz) just blisters...

    One thing to keep in mind though, faster memory will always give you more options though with regards to memory dividers, etc. Now I'm agreeing with the above poster, don't just waste money to get the fastest memory available, but the fastest, lowest latency, lowest voltage you can find without...

    For kicks and giggles try pulling three of the memory sticks temporarily. Keep the other three in the proper slots to enable triple channel. Seems to me I remember quite a few people having overclocking stability issues back in the early days of X58 with more than three banks populated, due to...

    Lets Frybench!

    Disable hyperthreading and see if your time gets faster. Just wondering if thread priority is choosing to use all physical cores since you have more than it needs or it's still trying to use logical cores as well.

    Lets Frybench!

    Results from my new setup on it's daily driver settings. I may try a more suicidal approach later. Edit...dropped a couple of seconds with a memory tweak.

    3970x load temp hits TJ Max (91C), problem?

    You could lap it.

    3970x load temp hits TJ Max (91C), problem?

    Not trying to scare you into thinking you're going to kill your chip outright or anything but those temperatures are off. Running at that speed/voltage when my 3930K was using an H100i it would have never gotten near TJMax. Every chip will have some variance but that seems very hot for 4.4GHz, I...

    My 3930K isn't all that far beyond my X5670, most of the difference is due to the 200MHz clock difference. It's going to depend on the benchmark though, I'd need a lot more than +200MHz to match the 3930K in Cinebench for instance. W3520@4.458GHz - 10811 Physics X5670@4.9GHz - 17027...

    That's a shame it didn't happen earlier if it was going to have to happen. About ~2 weeks ago a supposedly never used DFI Lan Party board with full water blocks went for ~$75, I about bought it just for a backup and/or my W3520.

    I was speaking more along the lines of settings cause/effect than for voltage. EIST, Current feedback override, etc.

    1366 x58 Xeon Enthusiast overclocks club

    Virtually every one in this thread is using the turbo multiplier to get clocks that high and higher. There are exceptions, but for the most part the wheels start coming off on most X58 boards at or before ~220BCLK. So it's pretty much required for the X5650, and even on the 5670/75 chips you're...

    Couldn't match his vcore exactly, mine would either come in at 1.328 (and not complete the bench) or 1.344, meh...I ran it at ~4520.
