4930k/4960x Steppings and overclockability ?

[aussie-revhead]

PM coming regarding that cpu dumo.

[NEOAethyr]

I just woke up, powered up from a complete shutdown and noticed my bandwith was bad again.
So bandwith bug happens on complete shutdown.

Learned this:

Going from bad to good bandwith:

1. Load cmos profile or do a power up from complete shutdown, bandwith is bad beginning at this point.

Restart
Set cpu multi to 38, restart
Set cpu multi to 40 + set ram div lower at the same time
Restart
Set ram div higher
Restart
Done, bandwith is back to normal

Anyone removed ihs on 4930K/4960X yet or are it not possible?

[aussie-revhead]

Im pretty sure they are soldered on and cpu is destroyed if you force removal ... or something like that ...

[Doug2507]

Been done already, just need to bake it in an oven. Benefits? Debatable and imo in no way worth doing.

[xpower]

yes ihs soldered to the die. iam yet tempted to try myself bt thinking of lap the hs first. anyone did any lap and whats the results?

i have same problem with my ram kit. bandwidth (write) gets throttle when i overclock it to 2400 from 2133. when i shut down and reboot it happens with 2400 speed and not with 2133. Aida64 extreme got a bug or what is causing this. Aida doesnt throttle the write speed when memory is at 2133mhz. strange
dont know is that overclock give problem, the ram or mobo. bandwidth stays normal when not shut down the pc and works fine when at 2400mhz.

Huuum, have you try confirm this bandwith lowered with another software ?

[xpower]

^^^ did not tried any other software yet. any recommendation?

Has any of you guys tested if BE gives better results than an R4E? ie better clocks or lower voltages with same cpu and ram? Im just looking for a way to justify the cost ...

Compaired to R4F, clocking @~100 is better @ little lower voltage.
@ 45x 100.3 1,275 and Load line @ auto
@ 36x 125,3 1,3 and Load line @ auto (Not stable on R4F) (Throttling cpu on R4BE)
Mem clocking is little better with my early Sammy 4*8g

Haven`t taken the time to tweak things out, but straight from the box it`s better, and more stable than what I remember from R4F.
I`d wish my R4F didn`t dy, but it`s replacement, though F***ing expensive, seems to be worth it`s premium...

My BE seems better as well, my 4930k runs with remote water very nice on this board.

Sorry for the late reply, but i have a similar batch number and wanted to know what your overclock limit is on this?
