Hey guys! So I only recently got back into the latest hardware trends etc since I am generally an old school overclocker. But on building my new Coffee lake system for my 24.7 rig I couldn't help but give the CPU a go.
Now I have done only a couple of days of testing so haven't maxed anything out yet, but I am currently running 24/7 stable clocks @1.25v which is completely stable through all AVX testing. I haven't delidded it yet or tried anything crazy beyond a simple core voltage setting and a quick multiplier increase. From what I've seen from the likes of silicon lottery etc they normally run a -3 multiplier on all AVX running so does that make my CPU better?
I did a quick cine R15 run with 1.35v and 5.3GHz is happy to run all day long, doesnt quite finish at 5.4GHz however.
Just curious if I sell this on to someone who might make more use of it or if it's not really worth an LN2 overclockers time!
Thanks for your time.

Heyo! Forgot to send these yesterday. I found some PCB damage near one of the screw holes. This is probably the issue but I can't be sure, doesn't look like there are any traces there though.

Hi guys, looking for some advice from the electrical engineers in here My friend has shipped me her Titan Xp which has died in her as she stated she'd knocked a cap off and it stopped working. I have replaced the capacitor and its still not booting, not even getting power to the core itself. Are there any common faults I can look up with these cards or like I already assume is the card more than likely done with?
Any advice on where to start would be appreciated
-
delid it if you see temps go through the roof, otherwise don't bother
-
-
So close to 8GHz Well done all the same

I would like to change my nick on HWbot and forums to B1GGS.
That sounds like a dota twitch chat name to me

Awesome job buddy!!!
-
I could do it for £85 inc shipping which is like €93 euro or something like that

I have a Gigabyte UD5H I want to sell if that's any good to you?
-
Hiya buddy! Cheers for the reply. I got it sorted in the end
One of the main things was that I was seemingly too lose for the high clocks, I needed C7 to get over the 1900MHz limit as well as a couple of other things. Myself and Noxinite have been trying to see where we can get with max 32M stability now on the boards. I am stuck at around 1060MHz (2120) whereas his board seems slightly better.

PJ you god amongst men,thank you <3
-
Pretty please PJ <3

I'll attend when Nox attends
it's a shame we will never meet then
-
I'm starting to think the same also, had a go at a Q6600 on it today and it was really unhappy above 1.65v. Nevermind, I'm sure I can find another
-
Seemingly no sign of damage but hard to tell with the VRMs since they are insulated. I'll check for missing components later tonight

As the title suggests, I can't get the damn thing to work with wolfdale CPUs which is the whole reason I got it in the first place
Boots fine with conroes though. Any advice on what is different between the two archs that might be causing me issues would be greatly appreciated

Motherboards :
Foxconn Blackops X48 : Real collectors item, comes with original box and most of the original accessories, the LN2 pot doesn't appear to be there but the fan and NB for it are as well as what looks to be a plastic bench table? - £120 SOLD PENDING PAYMENT
Maximus II Formula P45 : Solid P45 motherboard but I have no real need for it so selling it on. Has some damage to the top left hand corner of the motherboard where the LED poster would normally connect. This doesn't effect the performance of the board though and everything else seems to work fine. Motherboard and IO plate only - £60
Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H : Motherboard and IO plate only, pulled from a 24/7 system, still a very solid Z77 board which are seemingly getting very hard to find now. - £85
GPUs :
Asus Radeon 7850 2GB : Pulled from a 24/7 system, was a good clocker from memory and has software voltage control - SOLD
Ram :
Kingston HyperX Savage 16GB 2666 C15 Ram stick : Bought this from CEX expecting it to be a 2 x 8GB kit. No longer have any DDR4 platforms so have no need for this - SOLD
Prices open to negotiation and do not include postage, I will find a postage quote to your area if you're interested in any items

doesn't Strong Island live there? I would probably consider messaging him if you're wanting to start out with LN2 OC etc

Thanks guys
Did I win the silicon lottery?
in Skylake/Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake (-X) (Z170/Z270/Z370/X299) OC

From what I'm seeing and hearing from people is that temps are pretty important, if I delid this CPU I'd probably get a better idea of what it can do. AIO, 26c ambient and stock paste on both the AIO and CPU isn't helping anything. I actually kinda wanna LN2 it after speaking to someone today so I might try and find an Apex for the weekend
