Overclock i7700k after delay (rate my overclock)
Overclock i7700k after delay (rate my overclock)
Hey everyone,
After running my 7700k, the temperature dropped significantly—about 20 to 25 degrees. Before the reset, I tested it at 4.7Ghz and 1.35V, reaching nearly 91 degrees. Here are my results:

(about 1 hour and 40 minutes into the 1344k settings)

(and after it cooled down)
Would you consider this a successful overclock? Should I make any adjustments?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

have you checked out [email protected] yet? you can proceed to find out what vcore is required for 5, just for fun. your temps might only be a few degrees higher, or they could be 10 degrees, who knows. give it a shot.
I haven't tested 5.0 yet, but I must say that delid completely changed things for me! It worked really well for me and I'm very glad I did it!
I'll check out what vcore is required for 5GHz and let you know soon!
My i7-7700K delid experience with NH-D15S: Delid and Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut lowered temperatures by about 20°C. Reached 5.0GHz at 1.400V with a maximum of 73°C during Prime95 (20 minutes).

I removed the liquid metal and reapplied it (thinking I had excess LM and didn’t want overheating, plus a concern about residue from the q-tip). This actually made things worse. Now it doesn’t even hit 5.0GHz.
Volkgren shared his experience with the I7-7700K and NH-D15S: Successful delid and Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut cut temperatures by about 20°C. He reached 5.0GHz at 1.400V with a maximum of 73°C during a 20-minute Prime95 test. A screenshot is available here: https://imgur.com/TUGAQ2Q Original post: What liquid metal did you use? *Disclaimer: The system no longer functions at those temperatures. I removed the liquid metal and reapplied it after replacing the motherboard, thinking there was excess from the q-tip. This only made things worse. Now it doesn’t even reach 5.0GHz.* He used the same liquid metal as the other person. That didn’t sound right at all:/ Sorry to hear that.
have you explored [email protected] yet? you can check what vcore is required for 5, just for testing. your temps might only be a few degrees higher, or they could be 10 degrees, who knows. give it a shot. i have a decent cooler, but my 8700k(delid) needs a fairly high 1.370v for 5.0ghz. i also have a good cooler and my temps are around 80c at 68f. this summer room temps were up to 85f, but for gaming i didn’t go beyond 82c while leaving hwmonitor running. tried 5ghz with 1.35vcore but got a bluescreen after about 10 minutes of prime95. temps were around 70-80. update: 1.36 and 1.37v also caused issues, again getting bluescreened. i don’t think i’ll make any changes now, i’m happy with my stable 4.9ghz/1.3v setup and the good temperatures.
