Corsair H100i GTX

Got it at 4.5ghz right now on 1.2v. I know I'll need to do more stress testing but I did a couple of 2 hr runs in Real Bench and never got over 64c. I heard Prime95 can damage haswell-e so I've avoided it. I did about half an hour in Aida64 too.

I'll try 4 hrs of Real Bench and 4 for Aida64 tonight. I think that will be enough for me.

What's your cache speed at?

I have my 5960x at 4.5 GHz core and 4.375 GHz cache speed but it eats 1.34 vcore for that.

If I dropped my cache speed down, I think I'd be around 1.25 vcore for 4.5. Based on what I've seen around 1.2 volts for 4.5 is "good" for Haswell-E.

Keep in mind, my volts are for multiple 8 hour realbench runs.

My only works at 4.25GHz with the cache at 4GHz so compared to mine it's great. I'd say it is very good.


Test stability with OCCT I could run some stability tests for hours and OCCT would crash within minutes.
