I know that Coffee Lake has a single core boost. Does anyone know which core that would be? Is it core 0? I'm curious because core 5 is hotter than the rest of my cores.

First and foremost, I know the risk of putting liquid metal on the die. After replacing the TIM with liquid metal and booting up a game, it would crash if the GPU hit around 90% usage. I'm curious to why that is. I've never heard people having an issue like this. I've tried this twice, with...

So I've managed to get 4.9 at 1.345 volts at around 75C on full load. I have to crank the volts up to 1.39 to get a stable 5.0 overclock. I was wondering if it's just my chip, or maybe if my motherboard is hindering my overclock stability. Like if I somehow bent a pin perhaps?

My fans for my NZXT x52 are so load. Is this normal? My temps are fine, and even at idle the fans are spinning at 1700 RPMS (although my CPU is at 35C). I have the 3 pin connected to the CPU Fan, and the fans are connected to the PSU via molex. I'm assuming the molex connector is what is making...

I need this...

I was wondering if this pin will make contact with the CPU. It doesn't look like the rest. Maybe I'm just paranoid :P. http://imgur.com/a/yDudd Edit: I appreciate the help, and sorry for not taking better pictures. That's the closest angle I have looking downward. I have overhead pictures, but...

I have a delidded i7 7700k at 4.9 GHz and a GTX 1080. I only get around 70-90 FPS on Ultra Settings for Battlefield 1 at 1440p. Is my GPU faulty, or is this as expected performance?

I'm using an Asus Maximus IX Code and the SSD is an OCZ RD400. I have to use the M.2 slot next to the heatsink in order to use X4. The slot is supposed to be "protected" by a heatshield as well. So my concern is that my SSD gets to 70C when under load. Will that affect performance/cause...

Sorry? Lol.
