how real is it?

7700k 4.9 ibt success

prime, lots of errors :/

well 5.0 1.34v stable with ibt, lets hope its real max temps 60 ;O

Nvm, at 5 max load temps went 90, stable tho but not worth it :/

Well seems like I found my sweet spot,

4.9 v1.29
Stability test temps 75-80

Pretty decent. But reaching 5 would be awesome just for the number

yeah, but these temps are way to high for me, if they at least didnt pass 90c, id might stay with 5 ;O

actually, il try setting up high performance profile on the water cooling, and try again for 5 ;O

woot played with few settings also, standart intel burn test 10 loops pass, with 5.0 1.315v

max load temps 85, will do highest stress test, if passes, 5.1 here i come!

meh at high stress it keeps saying its unstable, i guess because cpu hits 94 c at one of the cores

This 5 gives me such a hard time, but I'm close, always getting warning msg, but it doesn't crash

anyways, aida for 30 min, no crash at 5.0

will run it with gaming, if no crashing guess its stable.
tried increasing ram voltage and cali levels, nothing helped, intel burn test keeps throwing warning msg at high testing, standard passes tho.

Prime is brutal, Typically nothing you ever do will be as stressful as it is.


My go to cpu stress test, is x264.

I havent looked into the 7700k much... But 1.315v @ 5ghz seems awfully low on voltage

It's low but heats a lot, dunno what's up here.

What cpu cooler?

Corsair 100 v2

Anyways 5 is stable, but ram fails I think , tried increasing it volt, but ibt and prime keeps saying worker stopped etc etc

So il just stop at 4.9

'worker stopped' typically means the CPU is unstable.

How long are you running the stability test for? And I wouldnt use Prime.. Its an unrealistic CPU load. Overclock.net has a link for a custom x264 stress test, that works really well.

90c on a h100 seems a bit high...

Thought about delidding it?
