Ok im done.

[FunFordCobra]

Blew It up on a 4.7g 1.45v clock. CPU is fried. Motherboard sparked and now gives the FF q code wich means you're fucked.

Going intel i7 now. Done with amd and it's Hugh power consumption...

Any suggestions on 3 way mb for i7 that's badass. Under 3-400 bucks.
I7 4770k is good enough?

[Tx Redneck]

Holy crap! I'll say this, my 3770k does absolutely nothing better than my 8120 except use less electricity.

Wait, I lied, it runs windows benchmarks better...

Can you get into the bios?

holy shit man!

whatever board you get make sure you put a fan on the vregs (if its evga board). 4770k is good stuff. I would go with an Asus board if I was building something today.

Rampage v and i74770 today

Fuck amd. Sorry.

[Tx Redneck]

I'm not sure why you're upset with amd when you gave it to much voltage. I hope your luck is better with Intel...

[FunFordCobra]

Awwwwan don't take it personal. Amd is fried mb fried, just wanted to try something different. Hell i might go build a amd mini machine.. I have all the parts I just need a gpu and psu. Amd is cool. I just went Intel this time with a lot of silver paste. I don't plan on giving this system the electric chair lol

[Tx Redneck]

I didn't, just being frank because I tried to warn you early on about the voltage levels. Although, the high temps+voltage on your quest for 5ghz likely did the damage, it just took time for it to rear it's ugly head.

If you're lucky, your other components survived the ordeal. I'm willing to help test them out if you dunt have a testbed available.

2 x4 way sli ROG boards and 2 4 way gagibyte boards and I can't get sli to work. Infact on all 4 boards only 2 sli work on each. What a pain.

Ok so this i7 4770k idles at 45 on an antec kuhler 920 water cooler. Jumps to 60. Prime 95 forget about it... It hits 100 in minutes. Gaming it hovers mid 80s low 90s.

The cooler, when I touch it it's colder than room temp. My AMD made the radiator toasty! The intel does not even at 100.

Do I need a bigger cooler like a h100i or did I put too much thermal paste on the CPU? Is this normal of the 4th fan i7s?

The CPU passed intels website tests.

With 3 GPU's, I'd be running a water cooling unit like the Corsair H100i because those GPU's are putting a lot of extra ambient heat in the case.

my 3770k idles in the low 30's, upper 20's @4.2Hhz and runs in the upper 60's under 100% load. With the die shrink of Haswell, it could run hotter, but as I understand it, they were sposta go back to a soldered IHS instead of the cheap TIM used on the Ivy Bridge line.

Oh yea I got it sorted. From 110c to 60c on 4.0ghz full load and now at 1.18v from 1.13v. I used the h100i cooler and its great. I think the antec kuhler 920s pump started goingout because I could hear slight air bubble sounds and also you'd think the radiator would get warm under a prime95 stress test which it was actually cold...

I had an online intel rep actually tell me that 100 degrees was perfectly fine...
I lol'd and disconnected chat, went to frys and got the cooler and now it's perfect.

Let me tell you, in gaming....the I7 4770 stock at 3.5 KILLS my old amd fx8350 @ 4.7Ghz. Smooth, no stuttering, no major frame rate drops. I really do like it.

As far a me melting me FX8350 it was my own damn fault. I was switching around graphix cards because the middle runs hotter and I rotate them. So as weird as it sounds, I pluged in my cooler to my usb header and no shit sparks flew out of one of me pcie slots. Toast.

So I go buy a badass rampage 4 and when I put in the fx8350, i bent half the pins on the processor and board. Microcenter was cool enough to swap it out for a gigabyte 4way sli. The AMD is garbage.(OLD FROM FRIES) and also amd doesn't fix bent pins.


Cliffs notes: AMD didnt burn up, the board did and like an idiot I bent both pins on the board and processor hahaha.

Done and it works great. My case is basically open air with x2 140mm 3000rpm fans push and pulling on my gpu's.

Really only alternative i have other than going water blocks ect ect and they are too expensive right now because the 770 is so new.

Just curious, but what would be the need for a set-up like that? Gaming?

And to be clear, not trying to knock it anything. I am just a very basic computer user so have never needed a fancy set-up, and wonder what the benefit would be.
