Hi all, can i ask you something? What do you think about core i7 3930K vs 4770K? Which you would pick if you should pair it with an GTX 780, and you could use the CPU for virtualization and cloud computing?
 
Solution
The main difference is cost as the LGA 2011 platform will be more expenxive then the LGA 1150 so right off the bat you have to dcide on what your willing to spend.
After that you want to look at motherboards since they are different sockets your going to get a different feature set for each and there will be some same features but the high end 2011 socket board will have more.
The main difference between the two is that the 2011 socket with the X-79 chipset is going to give you 40 lanes of Pci-e bandwidth for true x16 for dual video cards. The 1150 socket and z-87 chipset has 16 lanes total to split up.
The other difference is the ease in which you can overclock the 2011 CPU. I have the 3930k on the Asus Rampage IV Extreme and I got a...


Aha, so you suggest me to, disconnect from the socket what is within the nzxt kraken x40 and connect it mainly to the cpu socket? But there is the power supply for the pump of the kraken x40.

At mean time i took an advantage of that i have two fans so placed the NZXT fan behind the radiator and in front of the radiator the noctua A-15.

The NZXT fan is connected to the nzxt socket provided within the cooling system and the noctua is connected to the mobo OPT CPU FAN socket. Because as i mentioned the main is taken by the 3-pin power supply of the nzxt pump.
 
So with the two fans on the radiator you are getting higher temps then with the Nochtua D14 ? Only because I can't see what you have set up I have to ask if you have the two fans blowing in the same direction? The front fan blowing into the radiator and the back fan blowing away from the radiator.
 


Yes the set up is that what you have written.The same directions, and right now the hw monitor is showing me the temps:
- package: 36
- core1 until 4: 33-36
- cpu: 32
 


Ok i am a little-bit confused. I was running intel burn test, with very high stress level, and getting these temperatures, with water cooling NZXT Kraken x40 I have got a stock fan behind the radiator with max RPM about 3000 and an Noctua A-15 infront of it with max 1500 RPM. I think it is too high for a water cooling system. Should i RMA, because i did every thing in correct steps.

Picture about my system

Yes those temps are fine and the reason they are ok is because you were doing a burn in test which will stress the CPU at 100%. This is the highest temps that you will ever see and there is nothing else that you can do outside of a full stress test that will cause the temps to match what you have in that screen shot.
BF4 might cause you to see low 70's maybe and your still over 25c away from TJmax which is thermal shutdown.
 


Ok i understand it. I have overclocked my system with Asus AI Suite 3, to 4.4GHz. And made prime95 test. It was ok when i was running my watercooling at max about 2000RPM.
here are my temps

As i read these two threads thread 1 and thread 2 I checked that those temps are not as good as should be. My voltages are too high, am i right? Or something else is wrong? Should i buy better thermalpaste.

And the second question, why is that in my task manager the core frequency is almost every time 800MHz.
In games like Hellgate London, it's still stacks at 800Mhz, and it causes me to crash a lot of times. Any suggestion how to fix this?
