Thanks! Unfortunately i have bought the parts in november, so it's a little too late to return the board and get the Hero. I will probably end up selling my current MB and than buying the Hero.

I flashed the latest BIOS (0607) that was released 2 days ago and my XMP seems stable now with 1.2 VCCIO/VCCSA (they are set automatically to these values when i activate the XMP profile. With the old BIOS they were set to 1.3V VCCIO and 1.25 VCCSA). I am now running 4.7Ghz at 1.2V adaptive...

I found someone who has a delid tool, so i don't have to buy one and wait for it to arrive. I will delid tomorrow.

I will probably delid. How much did your temps drop after delid?

I have installed the H115i, and the temps are a little lower, but still seem high. I think there is a problem with the TIM between the chip and the heat spreader. I know Intel is famous for using bad quality TIM, but i think i got the worst. I have made a request to Intel and i will wait for a...

Later this year, i might decide on a custom loop, and i would like to cool everything with it (cpu, gpu, vrm). I hope it's ok to ask for your advice on what parts are ok to buy. Can that starter kit in your link be expanded to cool the graphics card, and VRM?

I am considering a custom loop, but i don't know if any custom loop is going to fit inside my case (NZXT S340 Elite), and for the next few months i don't want to spend too much on any pc related stuff.

That power draw is under full load (prime95 small fft). How much power draw do you have while running prime95? If my motherboard is bad, i will send it back to get replaced. I am also worried about the fact that when my CPU is hot (80-90) degrees, the aio radiator is just a little warm, not hot...

Thank you for your answer. I know that temperature has everything to do with the performance of the CPU, but i am getting too high temperatures for an AIO cooler at stock frequencies (i have the CoolerMaster MasterLiquid 240 Pro). I have the latest BIOS (0606). My BIOS has 7 levels of LLC, but...

I tightned the vrm heatsink screws a bit and i got the termal alert later. It seems like setting ac/dc load lines both to 0.01 causes the huge difference between the set vcore and the actual one. I reverted back to stock, but with the load lines on auto i get 83-84 degrees at 4.3Ghz. Something...
