    Solution for cracking paste on delidded cpus.

    in Extreme overclocking

    Posted · Edited by Rauf

    Clean all contact areas with aceton, use kryonaut and mount really tight works well for me. Been benching six sessions straight at -170 and below with no crack. Last time I didn't even reapply tim on die, just left cpu mounted in socket and it worked as well.

     

    But you use kryonaut as tim and then seal with glue?

    [Overclocking Support Thread] MSI Z170A XPOWER GAMING TE

    in Skylake/Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake (-X) (Z170/Z270/Z370/X299) OC

    Posted

    Used this MB for a 6 hour session at -170 on my 6700K yesterday. It works really well! A couple of things I have noticed:

     

    How the volts change the behavior of your CPU is really CPU dependent. It's not as easy as haswell, you will have to try all settings to see how your CPU reacts. ST-volts can make a huge difference on CB on some CPUs. Raising PLL volts might now work for some, but ST-volts will do the trick. For some ST-volts of 1.3V is enough, for one of mine it needed 1.6V to get below even -116.

     

    Memory OC is really great on this board. Might contest the Asrock in this generation!

     

    LN2 mode enabled in bios shuts of AES-instructions. You need these, at least for Geekbench or your score will hurt a lot.

     

    My board is early retail, and does not have physical ln2 jumper. You don't actually need it though. It runs fine without it on LN2. Or you could solder, just connect two points.

     

    For Samsung-E memory, you need at least 1.13 bios. The older T.0P won't run these mems well at all. Newer bios make them fly as you have seen in this thread!

     

    One annoying thing however is that often after a bios flash the board enters a sort of mode where trying to reboot won't work 9/10 times. The errors are persistent and occur both at stock settings and under LN2. Both reboots after bios changes and reboot from windows gets stuck. You have to power off, reboot into bios because board reports failed boot, reboot again and it works most of the time. Sometimes it will take multiple tries to get successful boot. Sometimes a reflash of the bios will help cure this problem, but I'm hoping for a fix in upcoming bioses. I have seen this reported by another user so I'm not alone with this problem.

    OC-eSports Points missing

    in League Discussions

    Posted

    Hi

     

    I have reported this before, but not gotten a reply. I'm trying to climb the rankings and so I would really like the missing OC-eSports Points from the MSI Beat the fastest competition. The problem is that my XTU-score is gone from the competition, and that moves me from first to fifth place. The submission is still in my profile, so I don't know what happened. It was not removed due to rules etc. Is there anything you can do to undo the undoing of my result :)

    It is also my greatest achievement so far, so I would like some way to remember this officially :)

     

    Here is the sub: http://hwbot.org/submission/2776163_rauf_xtu_core_i5_3570k_1141_marks

    Thanks for your help!

    Skylake 6700K/6600K Batch and Serial Numbers

    in Skylake/Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake (-X) (Z170/Z270/Z370/X299) OC

    I got one of the same batch. Have tested 8 6700K so far. When I tested mine it seemed to scale very much with temperature and not so much with volts. My feeling is that it might be good. Bought two more after that one but they were bad :)

     

    Haven't tested on LN2 yet but my best L526B899 does 5GHz HWBOT Prime at 1.38V. 4.9GHz at 1.31V. Boot windows 7 5GHz at 1.39V. Not delidded yet.

    LOL, tried mine on LN2 today...and it was absolutely horrible!

     

    Really bad cold bug, -110 with normal LN2 volts to help with CB. Had to raise to ridiculous ST-volts (MSI MB, don't know what they are called on others) to get rid of CB. Performed horrible as well. Max HWBOT Prime was 6GHz at 1.85V. Delidded, with kryonaut, of course.
