alyusha Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Those readings are actually better than ok, their very good, congrats on the deal you got ! Thank you! So, I had some issues with the stock CPU cooler and have installed a Corsair H80i. Got some new readings... Idle------------------------------------- 24c Light Use (like now)---------------- 27c Prime95 Blend @ Start 43c. After 60 minutes 44c Prime95 FFT @ Start 53c. After 60 minutes 53c. Intel CPU Stress ------- 37c to 43c back and forth for 60 minutes straight. Not sure why it bounces around like that. "99/100% load" For what its worth... 14,680 in Fire Strike 1.1 ("Better than 89% of all results") I can stress and play WoW on max graphics averaging 140 FPS and sit at a solid 45c (CPU anyways). Or just on WoW, at about 38c. So I think that is much better, but where I should be with water cooling? I am pretty new to the water cooling .

Waco Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Those temperatures are more than good for an H80i on that CPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henkenator68nl Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Need to be careful buying used K-chips online,.. could be someone just simply lapped the chip, or could be chip was burnt and cleaned up. You never can tell how much vcore was put to it or was it used with LN2,.. basically if chip has any imperfections on surface, I would be concerned of abuse and look for other seller.No need for horror stories. Simply use common sense. If it feels fishy.. It is. But there goed place to get that hardware from experienced and seasoned overclockers[emoji16]. http://hwbot.org/user/henkenator68nl/ Check the HWBOT forum. The market place is littered with delidded golden cpu's. Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G930F met Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkakmanH Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 The printing on top of the CPU is printed with ink - like printed circuit boards. So, it will wear off. This does not affect the performance of the processor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does not affect the performance of the processor. It's laser etched, actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
