I see both sides of the issue. As a manufactures rep in the HVAC and process industry. ( boilers, chillers, controls, pumps and such ) I cant lower the boom like Asus did on this gent that screwed up his board. Mechanical seals are not a warranty item. But contractors or end users can't seem to...

Hello Dan I've got 3ea. 5930K's. My default daily OC on all three has been 4.7ghz . No problem rock stable. 4.8ghz takes 1.30v for trust worthy day in and day out use and to survive torture testing. One of the three has a heart of 4.9ghz @ 1.40v. It also runs a honest 3c cooler across the...

Prime is not what it use to be. AID and OCCT are much better IMHO.

I've been having a great time watching folks prostulate and ring there hands over Skylake and Win10. :)

I really have to laugh at folks with old i7's that are still questioning a upgrade. Just admit your either a tight ass or that slow is cool. There are these comical hold outs that want to be a part of a wave. but refuse to pay and play. If a old Ive or Sandy is still throwing a rooster tail for...

My 4790K when naked with a EK Block runs 18c cooler than with the useless ihs in place. I've had it up to 5.2 ghz stable as a rock. I will wait and see how the Skylake revs and stepping go. The 5930K is a screamer also. So there really is no reason for me to upgrade. But I do enjoy playing with...

Thanks for the link. :D

It's easy to delid a soldered useless heat spreader with the right (simple) tools and a tad of skill. No big deal at all. I just want to know if the IHS is soldered on Skylake? Haven't read on way or the other.

Can one delid the cpu and go to the slug as it should be with a cooling solution? If not I will keep my 5930K @ 4.8 ghz ( will delid it when the enthusiast warranty runs out ) and my delided 4790K at 5 ghz and continue on with my happy geek dance. For those that care there are some x99...

Sorry for the quality. The info is there. Download and blow up if needed. I stopped the run at a little over 17 min. because my office ambient temp hit 85F. Anymore doubter questions? The Rig. :p

KickAssCop How does it do with AID64 and OCCT? My 5930K has two hot cores. My cooling keeps them in the low to mid 70c range. With the other 4 cores staying in the low to mid 60c range. I'm lucky that I don't have to volt the cpu up much. And after 4.8 ghz no amount of voltage will make it run...

H440 is OUT! Done with it! And there was so much more work to do to it. Define S IN! Just getting Started. And very little needs to be done. :) The Define S is great! Not perfact,,, But Great! :) The only changes concerning the case swap was component layout, fluid and hose. Like night...

I practice and live to fight as plain jane as possible. I know the common shooting lanes in my home. The structures and anyplace a human could be. I always practice low and up from the home. And carry that to the street, my place of employment. And customers. If I'm not allowed to carry and they...

Why do I need to wait on cops that are minutes a way if not a dropped call when seconds count?

What kind of crap machines are you problem children running? I've never had a issue with green team drivers! Not one! Chrome crashes,,, black screens and all sorts of other junk? WTF,,, you claim to build solid machines and ,,,,, OOOO the drivers. I've never even had a AMD card and driver foul...

If your want to work with Uber or use there stupid service. Make sure you live in a state that supports open/concealed carry and has a doctrine to back it up. If the law and doctrine is in place you have nothing to worry about as a driver or customer if you have to defend yourself. And Uber has...

Draax It is getting closer everyday. Americans through history know how bad that war could be. Brother killing brother is not something we look forward to as a nation. We did that once. And it was the worse war we ever fought. At some point the politicians and government will cause it. And it...

I never have issues with the green team drivers. Never!

Thanks Skillz!

Lets just hope AMD offerings are good and they make some money on them. Knowing how cheap ass there fan base is I doubt there is much money in it for AMD. They can't have a lot of margin in there products with the announced pricing if they are indeed Titan, 980Ti and 980 killers.

Hello Nathan Got the passkey right away. Toconator thanks for the input. I won't be farming or borging this time around. Just thought it a tad sad to have all this horse power and not do anything with it 80% of the time. Nice to see the basic client come of age. To bad I still don't see any...

Hello I just put my Sig Rigs to work for Team 33. Been a long time since I've ran FAH.

My 5930K is rock stable @ 4.7ghz with 1.225v, 100x47. 4.8ghz takes 1.35v. 4.9ghz takes 1.45v and can't be made stable on my MSI X99 Gaming 7. I can change the strap to 125 and get the bump in cpu speed across the board and even run my G.Skills 2400 at 3000 and tighten the timing up a tad. But...

Nobody's moved the goal post. There just trying to shade there eyes from seeing your AMD fanboy panties. Here is the truth >>>> http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/amd/sec-filings. Read the info! AMD is in trouble. And has been for years! The info and history is very easy to find. Don't stroke out...

Nobody is pulling numbers out of there butt. It's all in the SEC Filings. They are bleeding money as a Corporation. The contracts you speak of are not near enough to stop the bleeding out of money AMD seems to do so well at. While they have some interesting tech. They never,,, and I mean...

I bought a 5930k for the pcie lanes. Only running one gpu right now. But loving my xp941 boot drive. Soon to be a sm951. Possibly 3 980Ti. But more than likely only two. Speed and longevity now days is tied to pcie lanes. I tend to keep my rigs a very long time. I was still running Core duo rigs...

Just get what you want when you want.

What is the cpu default voltage at on your gigabyte board? Even with the OEM cooler it shouldn't be real hot at idle and normal tasks.

Hello ,,, there use to be warranty registration cards,,, snail mail, and O MY GOD TELEPHONES. In the oldin days one had to register there purchase for warranty and tech support concerns. And even then one might still have to pay for tech support. That kinds weeded out the stupid trash...

And it sucks! Looks like it has a memory controller issue. :( The machine was never the best but far from the worse. What can you expect from a MSI X99S Gaming 7 costing $230 bucks new retail and free shipping, Lost dimm slot #3. All ram test show ram to at least be serviceable and no...

Glad you picked the Asus. Gigabyte use to make very stable great running boards. I think the China Dregs have gotten to them now.

Asus hands down has the very best bios fan control on the market. MSI is a very distant 2nd. And with many things now Gigabytes are the worse. Good Luck

My current H440 X99 and S340 Z97 rigs. The old Q6600 that will not fail me. It's still at 4ghz and rock stable and looks like the day this pic was taken. I wish Li would make good cases now days.

As a owner of a Z97 4790K that lives at 4.8ghz and can be fun to run at 5.2ghz. And a 5930K that lives it's life at 4.5ghz and will go 4.9ghz. I really prefer the X99 rig. Using the same card in both rigs. A EVGA 980 Classified in OEM config. And both with the same water cooling. And this is...

I have to volt up my 4790K. But delided and running on the slug took the speed much higher at a given voltage. And temps dropped by 10c with all cores running within 3c.on a EK sup. evo block with naked kit.

Just use GC-Extreme and move on concerning a lappy. Forget anything conductive.

And Vista? April Fools ,,,, maybe?

WOW!!!! OP you know that board was a total fail when it came out. They never made a good one.

OC it yourself. There are so many variables when it comes to OCing. Auto tuning will make it more complicated than need be.

I have been very impressed with GC-Extreme and CPLU. I remember AS5 when it came out. That was some good shit man. But time has moved on and AS5 has not.
