Good job Kyle! A review that makes sense for a change, after the utter nonsense the HardwareCanucks produced recently:

Not 100% if I understand you corretly! Going from 240mm to 360mm on the 3770K won't improve the situation there. Looking at your temps with the 240mm, you are struggling with bad heat transfer between DIE und IHS, only delidding and liquid metal will help there.

Germany is the biggest market in EU (suprise, suprise ...) and german E-tailers like Mindfactory, Alternate and Hardwareversand also attract al ot of customers from other EU countries beside Germany, Austria or Switzerland. Reason being that pricing in germany is usually the lowest for PC...

ok

Hmm - one of the few times where I can't follow the reasoning in the conclusion. True - Vega56 looks much better compared to it's conterpart from NV than 64, but at roughly the same price and performance as the 1070 it still looks kind of bad because of power consumption and the resulting issues...

Delid Mate 2 will be compatible with Coffeelake

If you are planning on reattaching the IHS stay away from paste between DIE and IHS. Many pastes (for whatever reason) show increased temps after a few months. LM is the way to go in that case.

Afaik the first LM "pastes" had some issues with long term stability, but the ones nowdays should be fine between DIE and IHS.

Sorry don't know what "Tails" is :(

Something messed up here - I wouldn't trust any program within your current W10 installation, as you said yourself "It first started with windows 10 after creators update going all bonkers" I would make backups of both disks and install a seperate OS (Linux or Windows 7/8) on a USB stick or...

LTT video demonstrating exactly what stunt Intel pulled here - comparing a HDD machine against the same one with Optane as a cache drive (repetitive tasks) while omitting the performance numbers for the same machine with a regular SSD (be it SATA or NVMe) Ofc it's on LTT - where else can you...

People who claim there is no difference between 30/60/144Hz should be perma banned. That 's the amount of stupid I'm not willing to deal with.

This comparison is slightly off. Nowdays Nvidia is selling their higher midrange cards for highend prices (xx70 and xx80) - DIE size/transistors. Can't remember exactly when NV made that switch, but probably had something to do with the lack of competition from AMD. The real highend cards (Ti...

A.C. Liquid Freezer 240mm ~70€ runs circles around that. Fuck LEDs

When I look at the X370 boards I basically see Z170/270 with a (near) X99 price tag. Less lanes, half the number of RAM slots (tracing them is not uncomplicated) ... I don't like that at all.

Comparing Bulldozer with Ryzen and their Intel counterparts ... some people are just plain stupid. The raw performance is obviously there otherwise we wouldn't see the Ryzen chips performing on Broadwell-E level in things like Blender, Cinebench or Handbrake. That wasn't the case with Bulldozer...

Intel doesn't want AMD out of the market completly, otherwise anti trust legislation in the US would kick in, which could lead to a split up of Intel or other nasty stuff that isn't in Intels interest (x86 license up for grabs). With AMD in the market Intel (and share holders) knows where they...

That will work, though nowdays the binning on RAM chips is much more granular than ~ 5 years ago and he ll be probably pretty far off. Make sure your CPU overclock is rock solid, before you start fiddeling with the RAM or go back to stock, otherwise you might end up wasting your time. 2nd...

Well maybe if the CPU isn't the only thing naked in the video ...?!

Well, having to lower the DRAM speed by ~1000 MHz to gain an extra 100-200 MHz core clock ... I'm not so sure if it's worth it, especially considering the price premium you pay for 3600 MHz RAM compared to 2400/2666 MHz RAM.

If you don't get a "golden sample" 80°C and more at 4.8 GHz and (near) thermal throttling at 5 GHz

That wouldn't be a wise move. AMD can't compete with Intels absolute highend, but especially the desktop i5, i7 and 6core X99 seems to be their main targets. So not offering a 6 core themselfs right from the start doesn't make much sense imo.

Though I'm not a SFF/HTPC enthusiast I'm also interested in those kind of results. Maybe Kyle can use his 7600K for that.

For those asking about relidding - it's enough to put a little glue/silicone at the 4 corners of the the IHS. The only purpose is to keep the IHS in place nothing else.

Open the video description (show more) - everything named and linked (amazon / caseking.de) there. You can also come to http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/f139/intel-ivy-bridge-haswell-skylake-gekoepft-erfahrungen-ohne-hs-mit-gewechseltem-tim-891243-346.html and ask him there. His username is...

When u use the link I provided earlier and use google translate you can learn the following - rough translation (my own): "Most CPUs reach 5 GHz at either 1.29V or something like 1.35V ... 30 samples"

sigh - look at the max temps ... ~25°C delta

Here you have an example from germany - that is a retail CPU bought in a shop. http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/f139/intel-ivy-bridge-haswell-skylake-gekoepft-erfahrungen-ohne-hs-mit-gewechseltem-tim-891243-338.html#post25150844 The guy who did the delidding. among dozens of other CPUs...

There are reports that changing your DNS server manually (to google for example - 8.8.8.8) in windows network settings may resolve the issue.
