Wta, any good mobo <RM700 for mild oc for 4770k to recommend?
currently in mind is Asrock Extreme 4 due to 8 sata port (which i need) and nice layout as well.

Will consider if it cost more than rm700 but not rm900.
also, which AIO/HS will you guys recommend for like 4.5ghz daily use. (<400)(my ninja does not support new platform )

May i know the price is from which seller? from LYP - viewnet is rm935. thats a great rm100 saving.

^i'll juz grab it off from LYP 2moro.
Seems like a great board that packed with all these feature. thxs for d recommendation. will be back later for OC.

well, for me everything is overpriced compare to US. from photography equipment to pc item, we have higher mark-up.
but for the ease of warranty purpose, can't help. else postage charge to US will be quiet pain. ur post juz make me grab it and shall be it. don't think so much else will be in doubt again.

btw, have you actually fried any cpu/gpu/mobo before?

what is the safe temp and normal idle temp using intel stock HSF?
now mine is at 50-55C =.=. juz using origin to dl BF4. zzz

i know bro. will get new cooler by today or 2moro. yesterday i juz set it up to test and pre-load bf4 1st.

wta, how is your venomous X holding up at that clock?

great. if i can't find the 1 i want, i'll juz grab as urs.
also, do you need to install any software provided by Asus in their CD?
i need to install the LAN driver to get my network working. i think i'll do clean install 2night to prevent driver conflict.

noted. since i migrate from different board and the driver still left inside, might got conflict in later on.
decided to get PH-TC14PE since its much cheaper than D14 n the performance is great too. (going AIO 240mm give me the headache to find the rad support for my casing as well).

oh yea. does the network/dl speed on Hero/Intel Gigabit is better?
i ask this coz yesterday i pre-load BF4 and notice that it hits 700kb/s high and stable at 650++ which i never encounter or reach before. (prior stable is 550+ and 600 at max)

^thxs for the explanation.
chged to Pantech and the idle now stands at around 32C.

btw at HardwareMonitor, i saw got 5th temp = Package . what is this aside from CPU0 to CPU3?
i wonder will temp shave off by few temp if i go for NF-A14 FLX/Noctua NF-A15 PWM to replace the stock fan
seems like phanteks stock fan is very good ady. even beat the two i stated.

^if so, the chances of frying the cpu will be lower as what you state?
useful/safety measure for newb like me.

wta, will there be oc ability/stability problem if i use 2 different type of ram?

G.skill RipjawsX (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXM) Blue color @ 1.35v SPD 1.5v XM
G.skill RipjawsX (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL) Red color @ 1.5v SPD 1.5v XL

as i'm currently using the XM (blue) version and would like to add another 8gb red, but i notice the different in Tested Voltage.

Advice is highly appreciate on this matter.

Hit the wall at 4.4ghz - BSOD directly. Tune up using Asus AI Suite atm, will do bios oc this weekend.
everything in that suite seems so new and unfamiliar to me

any software to tweak ram timings in the window? else, i'll jump back into the bios.
found in 1st page.
nub in intel oc here.

wta, just gotten h100i. i notice after startup, the temp is around 70C and slowly going down until <40C.
but sometimes it will shootup to more than 60C on normal process = google chrome then load video.

below i try to prime95 and instant hit 100C within few sec.
any thoughts?
will try to resit cooler 2moro morning and get back to here. search google and quite a no. of h100i failure case.

**no such problem on previous cooler - Phanteks PH-TC14PE
***Setup = 2 pull SP120 @ 1.6k RPM. Rad top / fan btm.

re-sit it and apply mx-4. on stock clock / voltage. it hit around <75C on prime95 blend test.
will play around with different fans and settings.

what bother me is the cpu temp can reach 75 but the rad temp is just 5C increment - 30C to 35C.

what software you use to monitor your internal temp while gaming? my rivatuner cause Corsair Link to crash. only by disable ingame monitoring on riva, then the Link is working fine.

thxs alot for your input. i guess when the temp hit 100, i forget to notice the vcore on the cpu-z as well which is above 1.2v.
this is my first time to go in-depth OC a haswell cpu. previously on amd 1055t, its fairly simple and straight forward.
from my read, it seems that no matter what vCore method you use (except Manual), it tends to draw more power than require (on load). and as your said the software use avx instruction override all mobo vcore setting.

will play more and suck up most of the info/guide on 1st page. glad that my temp back to normal and your experience relief my worries on my virgin experience hitting 100C

pump is running full speed as per advertise 24/7.
i think previously i did not even do prime test or any benchmark @ 4.6 with my phanteks, hence i did not notice how hot or easily reach high temp on the haswell.

and after few days reading and testing, using prime or bench with avx instruction simply override my bios voltage settings. (adaptive due to lower volt during idle).
as nicotine say, i'll set it to the proper ghz accordingly to my real world usage.

side question : is Intel XTU benchmark really stressful? make my OC @ 4.3ghz shoot up to 90C as well

another Q : does the temp on Haswell fluctuate alot? i'm not sure about this but the temp reading can up & down to 60C and back to 40C in just less than 5sec which doesn't make sense to me

wta bro, you have successfully delid your cpu by using that method?
