CPU temp during gaming was hovering around 60-70c depending on the game titles.

Temp fluctuates as the CPU load level goes up and down. Look at this example:

alright got it, thanks guys!

Hmm let me do some oc also with my 7700k haha

What's your motherboard, RAM and cooling?
Can't wait to see your OC results

Benching time...



7700K
ROG Maximus IX APEX
G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-4266MHz 2x8GB







Stock memory frequency - DDR4-4266MHz CL19-19-19-39-2T @ 1.40v



Board and RAM are strong overclockers, managed to push the memory to DDR4-4300MHz without touching the stock voltage of 1.40v

Exact same as u. Hahaha

Jus got the ram today also

Just got time to play around

Retired so long already. Gimme some tips to oc

Lol, so you're the one who ordered the RAM from IdealTech?

OCbility is huge on this Samsung B-die memory kit. The most important thing is you need to play a lot with VCCSA and VCCIO voltages.

But first of all, have you managed to get the RAM run at its specified frequency as of XMP @ DDR4-4266 C19?

haha yes idealtech

i wanna run with adaptive voltage so don wanna change the bclk
4133 will do for me

whats the best speed and timing u can get for 1t stable?

under 1.4v dram voltage

and what sa and vccio voltage? heheh

Kaby Lake doesn't like 1T and requires voltage bump, addition training, and skill that's why I don't bother using it. 2T for now.
Buying a 4266 kit but running at 4133 IMO kind of waste of money, you should just take the 4133 instead of this, just saying.

Today decided to make a nameplate for ROG Maximus IX APEX.



Keep pushing it!

Haha because I'm very stable at 5.1 now don't wanna mess with the bclk

Pretty sure you can do that manually bro
How much is your 7700K's load voltage @ 5.1?
What's your chip's VID bro? (Read through UEFI with everything default and power saving features disabled)

Using llc 5
Vcore in bios 1.347
Readings in hwmonitor in 1.36
Temp max at 62-65 using aio
Thinking whether should I go custom wc
It's quite waste
Better to throw another 1080ti in better for the cost of custom wc

Vid I'm not sure
Got little time for the comp
Later midnight I'll find out

Btw I'm using avx offset 1
To get to 5.2 need a lot more vcore
I guess the cpu hits the wall at 5.1

Find one day come out yc teach me
I'm totally outdated
Almost 7 years never play with desktop haha

Bro what's ur phone number haha
Anything I don know can whatsapp u lol
I only got 1-2 hours for comp everyday only
Sad

Way busy atm

Here's what I found after few days playing with the 4266 kit

1) with XMP profile loaded at 4266 19-19-19-39 @ 1.40v, the RAM gives a lot of 55 code at reboot. This could be due to the PCB with the LED causing unncessary interferences or the mobo (BIOS) is not fine-tuned to achieve such a high mem frequency
2) the RAM runs fine with perfect reboot at 4133 19-19-19-39 @ 1.35v
3 G.Skill RGB software is still in beta stage, so it has compatibility/conflict issues with ASUS Aura software in which both software can't be used at the same time. In my case, I just use ASUS's software to control both mobo and RAM

Im ok with it now
4133@1.37v
hci 1000%

using it for 24/7
got time only see how to get 1t and lower timings
