Anyone here crunching with one of these? Am running 11 out of 12 threads and the temps are averaging 65c. A bit high. Here is my setup:
4930k
Asus P9X79 LE mobo
G. Skill Trident X series 32GB (1866)
Thermaltake NiC C5 cooler
Corsair RM Series 750 Gold
Win7 Pro
Samsung 840 pro
WD Black 1TB
The cooler is user adjustable with a nob inside the case. I crank this thing up but doesn't do much difference but running around 1500 rpms to keep the noise down. Used diamond carat 7 thermal past. Don't have the cash now for a water cooler but lookiong at these temps, going to save for one.
UPDATE: Had the mobo set for max power so was crunching at 3.9ghz all cores. Changed it back to normal and the temps dropped around 52c, allot better. Can see why folks are not happy with this chip as higher temps with just a moderate OC. Still happy I can crunch 11 threads now.
So did intel FUBAR the latest chips to kill off OCing?
