CPU upgrade time?

[Legionx]

It is 860 and not 4770k. Default for it is 2.8ghz so its 1.2ghz increase.

Its 60 degrees while playing heavy games and its ok.
If i lower voltage then system is not stable anymore.
Maybe its bad chip and needs high volts to stable

Ah, that's better. I was under impression it was the 4770k.

Now i got new MB from RMA

I might have got good CPU, i followed those directions and put it run 4,6ghz with 46x multi and 1.2 vcore and it boots to windows and is usable. But i think my Noctua U12P cant cool it enough because when i ran prime95 it went to near 100 degrees instantly and did bluescreen.

Now im using 125 bus speed and 36 multiplier
So thats 4,5ghz and temps are 85/71/78/79 with stress test.

Im gonna keep it there, im afraid to go higher with this cooler

Waiting for how you feel AoC is behaving after the upgrade

Grats on a nice clock! I heard if you want to go higher, you need to remove the heatspreader from the cpu and clean the core and spreader, and apply some paste between them. Afaik there is only thermal glue between the core and heatspreader. You might risk breaking it though so..

Yeah i read that clue they used on Ivy and Haswell is too thick so cooling is not as effective like it was with older i7 CPUs

But not gonna remove that clue, too risky

I have not bought any new parts yet. Anyone made experiences with the new cpu's?

[FirepowahQQ]

Yes

I7 4660k 4,6ghz
Can run lots of AoCs on back ground 1080p with 60>FPS

If you wanna troll, do it right at least. There is no CPU called 4660K...

Sure you should know i meant for 4770k lol

And how my post was trolling? I use multiple accounts at same time and they all run steady 60fps with high graphics 1080p

4770k 4,6ghz
16gb ram
gtx 680
SSD

Ok! I am sorry then, for misunderstanding your post! :-) You never know while on these forums.

That sounds like a very good performance increase compared to my system. When my AoC is not on front i.e. while using Chrome on 2nd monitor, the game fps drop to 1/10th of what it is while game is on front. But you have multiple accounts running simultaneously and all of them has at least 60fps?

[FirepowahQQ]

Yes, all of them have steady 60fps with high graphic settings

I have locked fps to 60 so it wont go higher because otherwise it goes near 200 and it fries my GPU
