It is a really great cooler. Noctua is really top notch in every way and every product I've seen/had.

Yep, thanks. :) Johan45, I appreciate it. :) Just wish I could get more out of my cpu but, that is just the way it rolls.
 
In standard air, all I could get was 4.6Ghz due to thermals. AVX needs a lot of voltage and that extra voltage spikes the temps higher. Water for me worked better but I also have an air-conditioned case so my H55 (too small for this 8350, what was I thinking) actually can get me to 4.86Ghz full stable but that is it. Want 2 240s or a single 360 soon hopefully.

No matter how much cooling or voltage I gave mine, it just would not get beyond 4.7. I have it at 4.6GHz stable now and I think I did have it at 4.7Ghz at one time but not for long and then it was at least 1.5V or so I think. Anything past that voltage or clock speed wise and it straight up locked up or hard shut off. :(

Mostly, I think my board is the limiting factor here. However, it would get very little increase with a better board and the cost would not be worth it. Of course, the D15 is not standard air it cools better than the Water 2.0 Pro I was using before this.

You must be using a Sabertooth or something along those lines.
 
Couple hundred mhz isn't worth your time unless it's just for the heck of it.
I went 8350 to 9590 (for the heck of it) and there is jack all difference other than a bit in benches or a very few games stock for stock. I imagine mine would do 5 on the sabertooth but I never tried, I think the 8350 did 4.5 with a limp wristed effort to OC it the other year.
Not that I'm saying don't have fun, just don't sweat a couple hundred mhz at the end of the day. :)

I am using a MSI 990FXA-GD80V2. I DONT recommend using it for OCing. It is a great board for stock use but they locked the voltage to a max 1.44V (1.39V really) in the bios so all OCing is done in windows with Control Center. No LLC so you cant be shy going high with the voltage to compensate.

Actually had an argument with them about the locking of the voltage. All they could say is they don't support OCing yet they flaunt the world record OC they HAD at 8.13Ghz on the page for this MoBo. I am definitely going ASUS for all my MoBo needs from here on out.
 
I have a Sabertooth and the CrosshairVF-z, can't go wrong with either on of these boards. Most people who upgrade can't believe the difference.
 
^ Can't argue with that. CHV and Saberfoot are the best.
@ durquavian ..never combine MSI + AMD and you will be much happier in life :)
I can't believe AMD says "next year"
:mad:
What kinda crap is that?
..when you're already 3 years late

I would be seriously tempted to buy one, and I am, but with AMD releasing something new within a year or so, waiting is probably best. :)
 
I remember buying a "Neo2" back when they were all the rage.....my GB K8NS Ultra worked far better for me(it was supposed to be an "upgrade"...bah!), I gave the Neo2 to my brother- set to stock speeds....was fine for him to watch pRon on.

No more Msi boards for me.

I think you're right on that one. The only reason I have so much crap is because of benching. The bug has bitten me but it does help me see the differences in platforms. I've had a 4770 and now a 4790 and I'll maintain that the AMD is more fun to tinker with, heck the auto OC from bios even works on the INTEL, one push and running 4.6 stable ( with cooling) how boring is that???:rolleyes:
 
You are one of the few true techs, nobody understands the value of something that is fun to tinker with anymore.
 
with Intel soldering the 5th gen core procesors may swing back to amd another 20w is no biggie if they support the modding community better
 
I think it is that feeling of accomplishment. Ocing your entire system not just the CPU. Not to mention the torture these FXs can take (except for some apparent board suicides).

The Intel stuff I use strictly for benching but AMD is my HTPC and benching. I just like it better. It is pretty tough especially with voltage. I've seen so many damage their new i7. The IMC on them seems to be particularly vulnerable.

You must mean the 2011v3, pretty sure they're soldered but the DC 4790 isn't it's still just TIM under the IHS.
 
From another thread today discussing 9590 temps...




10 minutes with eight instances of CPU Burn running, ambient at case inlet is
19C, case is FT02, all stock fans PWM via BIOS on Normal or Quiet setting, I forget which. It's not loud, not silent, not loud. FWIW...


NH-D15 ftw
 
I was confused by that post then realized when I went to quote it that my work comp blocked the images.

Cool figuratively and literally! :D My case does not really give temps that good because it is designed more for quietness than cooling. (Fractal Design Define r3.) I am very happy with it as well though.
 
I got the Delta Mega Fast fan for my H55 cooler. I run it at 5V, cant hear it in my case. At 12V you can hear it outside the house, but it certainly keeps my CPU cool.
 
I know it's a bit off topic but I strapped a block onto my 980 this weekend and man O man these things clock like a scared cat. Was benching in the 1700+ MHz range.

8
 
980's are nice.

I wouldn't buy one as its not much faster than my 290 if at all. When you consider i'm running at 1300mhz core/1650mhz mem. +.200mv

I can even clock higher if I start to pump the voltage even higher via afterburner. (no set limit with modded parameters) Although the last time I tried I ended up melting a connector on my psu lol. Have to run two cables to the gpu to solve that one for the 6pin and one for the 8pin. Instead of using a single cable with two 6+2 pin connectors.

I always water block my gpu's, you just get so much more out of them this way.
 
I posted a pic in that last post , is it visible to anyone cause I can't see it here.
Loose wires and fires nasty stuff ebduncan, luckily that's the worst that happened. Sometimes it'll take the whole system down. This was the first time I put a block on the GPU. I've modded my BIOS before but now I can actually make use of it. I'm doing ground work for the HWBot world tour in Quebec. Hoping I don't fall flat on my face. Ha ha

benefits of having a case window i guess. Was doing some benchmarking at the higher voltages, saw some smoke, and shut it down instantly. Source of smoke pci-e comnector on the psu. Card was drawing more power than the cable could support. No big deal, replaced the cable and all is fine.

I'm now running two cables to the gpu now instead of just one to split the load. Probably a design flaw of the seasonic psu cables if anything else. There are a few people its happened to. I haven't revisited the overclocking further attempts with more voltages out of fear now though. 1300/1650 will just have to do, but i'm ok with that.
 
I've never been big on those two connector per line jobbies. They made me nervous too. The wires don't seem to be any bigger but carry twice the current. Like running a space heater from an elcheapo extension cord. Sure it'll plug into it but....
I think you'll be fine now that you've split the load eb

Great, now you got me thinking. :D As though I need one more thing to do. :) I have only one R9 290x in my system and I am using the one cable off my M850 power supply. Now I am considering using the second one and do the separate lines per connector.
 
Unless you're really pushing it you're probably just fine. But hey if you have it why not use it. I think eb may have had something going on in the connection as well which caused the burn out but that's hard to prove. It was definitely the weak spot. Either poor design, loose, dirt something.

nah its a documented problem with the Seasonic power supply cables. Just not built to handle the amount of current I was pulling. +200mv and higher on a R9-290 is a no joke (400 watt territory)

Thanks, didn't know they had issues like that and you're right the 290x isn't your "typical" load when overvolted.

Thank you for the heads up. :) Oh, now I have a probable fan going bad that is hard to track down. Heard it once last night when starting up but it went away well I was poking around inside with the side panel off.

I left the side panel off, turned the machine on this morning and no noise. :mad: Oh well, maybe something was hitting a fan but it did happen yesterday morning as well. :confused:
 
Oh , I hate those. I have one that does some on and off ticking on my HTPC that's starting to get on my nerves. It just happens to be buried under my TT 2.0 rad so no easy job to replace either.

What I hate worse it diagnosing the wrong component and throwing it out. I thought it was the back fan going bad and I even heard the noise coming from it. I could press on the case around it and the noise would go away.

Therefore, I bought 2 new fans and threw that one out. (It is long gone.) Now, maybe there were 2 problems but, I found that the primary noise was not the fan but the Seagate 2TB refurbished hard drive that I just got maybe 3 weeks ago. :mad: Now, I spent $20 on 2 new fans I did not need and threw out the one that might have been good afterall.

The noise went completely away when I removed that fan. However, the noise came back in the last 2 days. :( It was the hard drive.
 
That's terrible but isn't it always the way. Just when you think you've got it licked and it turns around and bites back.
 
Yep. Now, I am absolutely certain that the hard drive is an issue. (I am pretty sure anyways.) The boot time would take longer at the UEFI screen before Windows would start to load. Once I removed that drive, it went back to normal.

That said, I still have a fan kicking up into high speed when I first turn on the computer after it has been off the whole day. (Weather is cold up here but my place only gets down to 60F.) It never seems to make that noise in the morning when I get up though. Also, the fan slows down after a minute and everything is normal and quiet after that.

Only thing I can be sure of is it is not the R9 290 reference fan and it does not appear to be the fans on the NH-D15. Oh, and the top fan is not the problem either. It can only be the front case fan, power supply fan or the 140mm fan I have installed on the bottom which is the same as the top fan. Just when I think I have it, BAM! it is back.
 
Being a PC enthusiast is a misnomer I think. It should be referred to as a labour of love. Ha ha
 
Labor of love is absolutely correct! :D I finally figured out that the additional noise that came about was from the front case fan. Good thing I bought 2 fans at once because I needed both of them after all. It appears that both fans that came with the case I bought 3 years ago failed at about the same time. :(

Oh well. Now, when I receive my replacement RMA drive for the drive that was replaced a month ago, I will change the front fan so it can be used on a controlled motherboard header. Just glad it is now resolved. :)

Hey Buddy!
I just got some Dead Silence case fans too there very THICK,,,,very very nice and has built in LEDS....
working on getting new monitor cant make my mind up 27" 2560x1440

Those are some funky looking fans Eagle. 80 CFM at 1500 is pretty sweet too.
 
I love my Delta Mega Fast fan, but it sure is loud even @5V. @12V loud doesn't quite cover it. Thank god my computer is in a cabinet, deadens the noise quite a bit.
 
Sigh. :( Well, I received the new recertified 2TB Seagate hard drive and it is no good either. I try running a extended test of the drive and it never gets started, it just sits there at random testing but does nothing. 4th time is a charm maybe?

Oh well, at least the new fans are good to go.
