yup, well, delid will probably give you -20c temps, but it doesn't mean that your chip will clock higher if it's already doing the best it can. My system runs 4.8 stable, 4.9 unstable, and 5 crashes under load, all have low temps and plenty of voltage, so I just decided to keep it at 4.8 and...

His temps are ok. IF he wants lower temps for no other reason than wanting lower temps, then just delid.

I researched a lot about delid tools, and finally just did it with the razor, took 15 minutes and it was quite easy. Didn't really want to pay close to 100$ CAD including shipping and taxes for the delid+relid tool. Full load temps are down 20 celcius, but I wasnt able to overclock it more. I...

your temps are fine, stop bothering.

your temps are fine

My 2600k from 3.4 to 4.4 Athlon back in the days of pencil trick didnt give me much oc at all.

I did not lap, I just reposted the info read elsewhere for member nanogrip

You know what, I just decided to run it 4.8 stable with a reasonable voltage. Overall, delid gave me -20c temps under full load, but that's pretty much it. Was it worth the trouble? Nope, not really, in my case, with that chip.

Ok, 5.0 is not stable. 4.9 is stable with realbench, but then I get some errors in prime 95 full load. (temps are 78 max from 98 max before). 4.9 raises voltage to 1.425 according to coretemp and 1.4 or so according to cpuz. Now, the prime95 lastest version full load is maybe overkill a little...

Ok, prelim results. Works. Idle temp is down to 33 from 40 Realbench temp is barely 65 now at 4.8 Prime 95 small fft is 73 now from 98 or so. I would say that full load temps are 20c lower or so. Will try to OC more and report.

Results tonight after 24h cure Lap does not improve temps

I applied the liquid ultra and put some permatex black sealant around the ihs, then pressed it back on with my fingers, aligned with a caliper, put it on some foam, and i put a 6 pounds lead ingot on top for the night. One thing, I did a test fit before applying the gasket. I though that I had...

I just did the razor delid, took 15 mins or so. Aimed high a bit into the ihs to make sure I would not cut the pcb. Went well, I just chipped the ihs a little in 2 spots. My gasket sealant tube was all jammed inside so i will buy another one and relid tomorrow evening, and will report tuesday...

Will i get better results with a relid tool or its just not worth it?

I want to razor my 7700k and apply liquid ultra. Only thing is I don't have a re-lid tool. Just use gaskeat sealant with a chips bag clip or something to relid, or you guys would actually order the tool from rockit cool?

My new mobo even has wifi. Only thing that could be necessary is a better sound card if you care and have the setup to hear te difference. My onboard audio even if quality asus is crap compared to a decent sound card when you listen to music with an amp and speakers. But i dont really care...

Be quiet pure rock slim for 30 $ has good reviews, should do the job. I just want something decent tower style that can support a small oc.

I ordered coolab liquid ultra and will do a delid and report temps after delid. Probably will oc above 5 ghz also after that

Found a seasonic s12ii-520 bronze on ncix that had a big rebate on it, cost 60$ cad. Should do the job nicely plus its seasonic so i kind of trust that. 520w is probably plenty enough for a 2600k with a 660ti with just one ssd and 3 fans

my ambiants and humidity are the same and the temps went from 31 idle to 40 this morning. could be the intel paste also

Ambiant is the same, humidity also, processor is at 1-2%, cooler has not moved, fans are fine, no dust, no hardware change. Oh well, whatever, will de-lid anyway to get to 5+ ghz (and/or lower temps)

New 7700k build, idle temps were 31 at first with noctua paste, and now around 40 at idle. Fans are spinning faster because of that, more idle noise. Why? Did the paske already somewhat dry or something? Thinking about de-lidding that thing also and replace w metal ultra under ihs....

wow thats wayyyy too much. It feels like a 4 disk raid 5 is already as complicated as I am willing to go. I don't really need file priority. as I am constantly using different files of different ages. Why not just 2x 2TB PCIE 960 pro in raid 1 ? how can I add m2 drives like that to my old...

I don't know, I just figured that I would trash the whole computer, and then I decided to keep some parts, and then I decided to keep the whole computer for accessory tasks. ncix.ca, amazon.ca

100$ CAD... Maybe I should have kept the 9 year old antec tx-750 that was still working instead of trashing it...

well, not too much, as in the minimum possible for something decent. Oh well, according to the tech, the read performance isnt too bad and he blames the software which could make sense. how can I test the drives speed?

I have an old 2600K build that needs a cooler. best simple quiet not too expensive cpu cooler? I have the noctua D15S on my main build, but I don't want something as large or as fancy for that build.... I just want something decent that will work while costing not too much. I have a stock...

I have an old build that needs a new PSU. 2600K, 1 HDD, 1 ssd, gtx 560ti. 8gb ddr. Need a basic PSU that will do the job. Somewhat modular is nice because it reduces clutter. Doesnt need to be terribly cheap, but nothing fancy. Just need something reliable that works.

well I have 300 gb of data that is mostly xrays and pictures on a 900gb total avail. raid 5, 4 disks. will probably double in 2 years or so. database probably isnt too large. 15 clients on the local network. thats it.

I was told that the essentials version (SMB) was slow and full of crap like exchange that made it slow and hard to work with. Um

Well then buy ram when you feel like its cheap and you had a good deal if that makes you happy. I paid 140$ for 16gb vengeance 3200 ram 2 months ago, seriously, I dont know how much ram you need but at that price you could as well buy 32 gb and not bother.... You will save more by shopping...

buy ram when you need it. Prices will be what they will be. Cant predict.

oh btw I went with the vengeance lpx ram and it's perfectly fine.

SQL? I don't think so. Those programs do not need any special server with sql, they could even be installed on a normal computer that acts as a server...

No special software that I know about. We just have a few dental programs that have the database on the server that's all. (yes, windows server 2008 r2 standard) In fact, we probably don't need a very powerful server, it just needs to handle file sharing (pictures, xrays) and database access...

I have windows server 2008 standard. 32 gb max i guess. I would double the ram from 12 to 24, just add another 3x4 i guess. Stock ram is kingston 3x4. At 1.5v 1333. . I physically checked it and got the numbers posted above. My system only runs it at 1066 anyway. Their min mem specs probably...

there is single rank, dual rank, and x4 or x8 based. What do I need to buy? also, I think my processor allows ram at 1.5 and 1.35v, but it's going to run the ram all at 1.5. right?

Hi, I am a dentist (business owner), this is why I am kind of clueless with servers. I am ok with normal pcs, but never had to work with a server before. I have windows server 2008. The server was bought new in sept 2012. It's 4.5 years old. we have windows 7 on the workstations.

I cant figure out what ram to buy

for some reason after a server reset I am using 4gb ram and have 8 free..... soooo I guess that its ok ram-side. might just replace the server when its too out dated...
