So I recently put a computer together with a 7700k. I knew going in that it was going to run hot as most people had reported that they do. I didn't want to de-lid as this wasn't my computer and I wasn't paying for the hardware.
I looked around to see what kind of settings many were using to get stable oc`s and it seemed most were around 1.3v - 1.35 for something between 4.8 - 5gz
The case we decided on was a view 27 which turned out to be crap for reasons I won't go into, but it left me with only 155mm for a radiator. The best air cooler I could come up with in this range was the h7 cryorig, which is working about as well as I expected.
So the MB defaults the 7700k to about 1.258v or somewhere around but I had read that some people had under-volted to get better temps. I decided to go with that assumption and got it down to 1.215 on adaptive with a the llc in mode 6 which gives me almost exactly that in hw monitor vcore result.
After this I put it to 4.6 and ran prime 95 small ftt for a couple of hours without issue. Trying my luck I went to 4.7 at 1.205v which puts out 1.2 in hw monitor and have been running for over an hour without issue. Temps have spiked to 80 in package and 3rd core, but are hovering around 75.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had similar results with relation to the low vcore, or if I'm missing something. Like I said I've just read that most people are using more power to get oc`s near where I'm at. If I moved to that voltage I would obviously start going into the red as far as temps go. Just wondering if this is a decent chip or if others are just pumping their chips with voltage because that's what most of the ocing guides suggest.
