But now with an ASUS P9X79 LE since my RIVBE died, and a 2070 Super.


And no more loop, that stupid piece of crap DT 5Noz CPU block leaked on my SLI setup because the MFG didn't account for acetal expanding when wet so the o ring no longer sealed on the copper block... TLDR I now have a 360 CLC from EVGA.

i have a dream that we can all live in a world where someone isn't judged by their cable-management, but by their cpu over-clock?
i already feel Atrhur judging me

these are the best pics i could get for now. minus the excuses, i'll get better ones at some point in the future.

Well whats the over-clock, then I can decide...
I think the case is half the issue but if anything bugs me its that optical drive.

/edit
But I do appreciate the receiver below it.
Think we all stacked electronics at one point.

i don't even need that optical drive there. i've just been too lazy to unplug the sata cable and move it.
...and maybe we shouldn't judge based on CPU oc's... i mean we are better than that right?

i'd have to reconfirm everything to get precise, but my current OC is 5.0ghz with a -3 avx offset. (i've had it higher, but dialed it back some to be more than stable)

edit: here's what cpuid shows as i sit here with only 1 browser open, and only a few tabs open. (video playing)

5 is an alright oc, think your cooler wouldn't push more much more tbh maybe 5.2?. How did you do your stress testing?
Whats your current temps and voltage? How your vrms's/mosfets doing temp wise with out active cooling.
I like the new cooling designs ascetically however they are trash vs old fin designs surface area wise.
Probably be able to bump your oc back up with active cooling near VRMs if they were the issue.

/edit
need to put stress on system to see where things are really at.
run furmark and occt together for like 15 mins.

stress testing programs i've used for every OC are:
Cinebench
Unigine Superposition
3DMark
MSI Kombuster
Asus AIsuite also has a cpu stress test.

some of those are better for GPU, but ya.
i can run all of those tests stable @ 5.3 for a few hours. even Cinebench continuously over and over. eventually, it does shut the system down though.
i ran 5.2ghz stable for a while(also with -3avx offset)

another edit: these were all about 2 years ago as a brand new build. i was hoping i can still hit these marks, but i've not done anything in a while. (even the 5.2 i dialed back a few weeks after running it stable)
edit:
i was also thinking about making a thread soon about OC's, we can keep it here though.
i am not doing this tonight though, the impeachment trial is still going on right now. when it's over i'm probably going to sleep

the VRM's and mosfet appear fine as is, but i was a bit worried about higher voltage running through with higher clocks and no cooling.
i don't think the VRM was the issue though tbh. they are pretty beefy on this board for the gen.
cpu temps obviously got pretty hot during stresses. but i don't think over high 80's (on stable clocks)

Ixtu for intel
Prime
X264
Aida64 for real world like temps

These for cpu tasks for stability

Hope you use loops
