LinX is a stressful app which generates a lot of heat.
Max temp for 4770K is 100C, you are not even close so should be fine.
Do check your CPU waterblock mouting. If your cooler is mounted correctly, your temps will drop back to normal quickly.

Can't compare clock to clock like that bro. You must consider the IPC improvement over previous gens.
Basically Haswell is roughly 7-13% (~10%) faster than Ivy. Then, Ivy is roughly 10% faster than Sandy, so you can do the calculation.

Should compare like these:

4770K @ 4.2GHz vs 3770K @ 4.6GHz vs 2700K @ 5.0GHz
4770K @ 4.6GHz vs 3770K @ 5.0GHz vs 2700K @ 5.5GHz

So, when Sandy @ 4.3GHz vs Haswell @ 3.44GHz

Without IHS installed, you will have to dismantle the CPU socket bracket.



This way will allow the chip die to contact with the heatsink.

Nice attempt. Pls use a newer Prime95 to stress Haswell correctly. Add oil bro.

Good overclockings there. You might just proceed with 4.5GHz for 24/7 the temps should be fine for normal routine works.
With better cooler I believe your chip can go higher. Invest on custom watercooling perhaps?

That Samsung based Team Xtreem 2600c10 kit?
2800 9-12-12-21-1T at 2.1v is possible

Haswell at 200 GFlops is super hot!
I haven't try the 0.6.5 with Ivy yet lol.

Supposed to be the same to me. 32-bit is just about the amount of RAM usable in the OS that's capped at ~3.2GB.
You may check with the LinX 0.6.5 in the first post of this thread.
Why use 32-bit for 2x8GB?

+1 for 64-bit
+1 for SSD

Good luck bro!

ASUS MY sent me some toys to play - ASUS Maximus VI Hero and Gryhon + Armor Kit



Without wasting any time, I have taken the ASUS Maximus VI Hero for a spin on my watercooled test bench:



Some quick OC results:

That's a huge drop of temps bro. -23C improvement yo
Well done mate

PS: Liquid Pro sure ~30C drop

ASUS recommends to fill in the RED slots first for better overclocking performance. Pls see manual page 1-9 for more details.


Nobody selling Pro locally. You have to order from Coolaboratory website like what i did last time for slightly cheaper price than Ultra.
Hero doesn't have x-talk cancellation & memory profiles etc because lack of components to do such things. Hero's VRM is weaker thus needing you to pump more vCore to stabilize the OC. eg. Cinebench benchmark:

Extreme: 1.4v
Hero: 1.44v

CPU PLL is no longer exist in Haswell platform.
Cooling is important. The cooler the chip the lower the vCore needed.

Just tested. The latest LinX 0.6.5 (11.1) is still yielding 120+ GFlops for Ivy. (Pls ignore lowest one most probably got affected by background apps)

Both.
Newer and latest version is more stressful.
Your 32-bit is not really stressing all the memory installed (just 20% out of 16GB stressed).
You really need a 64-bit Windows bro.

Bro, pls check out my review on Hero HERE

Although the Hero User guide manual recommends red slots for mem OC. I find it the other way around. Black slots performs better. Reds are capped at 2800 only, black can go as high as 2933. Reds failed to detect my Samsung rams giving debug code 55 = GG

On stock clock. Yeah bent socket pin will affect mem OC.

Finally, 64-bit
Yeah it needs higher vCore because you are now stressing more amount of RAM and the loading the IMC to the max.

Your Corsair is what version? Once you know what IC it uses it is easier for you to OC.

Alright, pls update us how's your findings on red vs black slots. All the best bro

Got some new toys to play today,

ASUS Maximus VI Formula & Gene:


These two boards would be the last motherboards from Maximus VI Series that I have ever played up till now.

And surprisingly Apacer makes a move to MHz war... introducing the

Apacer ARES 3000MHz 12-14-14-35 2 x 4GB

It's based on single-sided Hynix-MFR and will clock like mad!

Without wasting time, I have put the Formula under water on my Dimastech test bench



First OC result is impressive, the Formula managed to push the ARES up to 3250MHz 12-15-15-25-1T:


More OC results and reviews are coming soon. Pls stay tuned.
