Well done brother, I must admit 05 is your baby XD

Lol try to tell an overclocker what not worth the risk who applies vaseline on motherboards and uses them only for ln2 purposes. i suppose this couldve happened not 100% sure. When i removed the cpu from the socket, the pins was blacken and the heads was already missing could be rather fell in the socket or just simply burn away. i did not seen any reason not to try the board since it should start without any contact on these pins. After this mobo was cleaned, repaired and back to life. end of story.

hey bro, first of all just grab a coffee supported bios and if you do the hardmod on the mobo you dont need to short pads on the cpu, you are already good to go. BUT, Let me share with you my experience: i would suggest you to additionally cover the 2 cpu pads shown earlier with any kind of coffee lake cpu if you would like to 100% avoid any possibility of pin burning. the burned pins itself would not cause any issues like Splave and others confirmed, until the top of the pin is not falling apart and small pieces back into the socket. it happened to me at just the first time removal of the cpu since installed. i suppose this generated short circuit and mobo did not posted at all with any kind of cpu (even kaby lake). as troubleshooting i did ask a friend with appropriate equipment to clean and solder back 2 brand new pins into the socket. luckily operation succeeded and mobo came back to life. end of story, MOCF is confirmed to be unvincible but i never ever put back coffee lake without covering those pads. oh yes forgot to add it was with 9900k.

what did you with mine brother? bump!

you know, you have to select your friends wisely jk i know you have nothing to do with this, hit me on messenger sometime and i explain. good job btw!

Yes Michael, these are retails from shop, sadly im not able to make them run 4133c12 on 32M, might be imc weakness, will see later. but still im happy with these, i think not bad for a random retail at 1.90v bios set.

No need A2 lol

Nice to see you rollin' again Brother! Good job! ?

I wish i could see Slinkys face right now :D

Thx for share Alex, keep up the good work!

love to see this result where it belongs, on the top! nobody can beat Fredyama-san but Fredyama-san :)

Ah forgot to update, sold already, please close and thanks for space hwbot.

what kind of magical team group kit is that :D mine cannot even do close to this. good job!

Cache is unstable at 6.2g but its not the issue, mems cannot do 1900+ at even 2v. low ic setup on pcb, this kit was not desgined for low cas but high clock. And thanks to the pricing this is the only bdie i have atm.

Dear all, trying to get rid of some stuff again what i dont need anymore. used these for team cup, everyting works fine. Board is a DFI NF4 Infinity, insulated with LET. NB needs better cooling or airflow when pushing it gets quite hot. Cpu is a Cab1e Opteron 146 can do 3GHz SPI 32M 1.40vcore on air!!! Mems are 2x256 Kingston Value with original BH5 ics, 240mhz 2-2-2-5 32M capable at 3.2vdimm asking 50 EUR + shipping. Thanks. Bala

Officially non of the z390 supports win7, not even microsoft does anymore but you can find results made with both boards on w7, so doable if im not wrong. Guys Formula Drive ver:3.0.94 works fine for you with 8 core on w7? For me multi can be changed only downwards, not changing on the way up, anybody has same issue?

Matt, for compare: mine can do also 1.23 5G R15 on air, yesterday had a quick ln2 session before board get wet, 6500 R15 was easy at just 1.60vcore -160 ish (not even full pot)

these are actually not bad, seen a lot of potato around like 1.35v 5G pieces. also consider not so easy to bin 700 euro new pricetag cpus with such a low availability. free bump bro!

the equipment could be changed or broken, just keep up the spirit brother!!! (love to hear that, fingers crossed!) about the cropping, George is that possible that youve done the result with multiple monitors? maybe thats why is the screen like that.

keep pushing it brother ;)

Guys regarding 8core coffee lakes, do we still need to cover the same 2 pads on the back of the cpu to prevent socket pins to be burned like with 6core cpus?

Well done Alpi ;)

Thanks a lot brothers, actually compared to the 7G+ chips this one is rubbish but yeah at least there is room to improve :) this Bdie is something interesting, 8 layer pcb low ic design so it is not the best for tight timings, in apex there is no way to run them on this freq at 12-12-12, but yellow board shine like a star when its about mem oc :)

Ok if noone wants, i keep this piece of history. please close, thanks for space hwbot.

if it is required when the cpu is at fullpot with ln2 around -180C then i suppose its not a question to use it with aircooling in a pc case, there will be definately not cooler. btw I dont remember any situation when it was recommended to use any board without vrm heatsink when overclocking on air/water. if you dont need to insulate board to handle extreme conditions like condensation, i would never consider removing.
