HackManSD Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Getting things started with a clients Project Log...I'm calling it Heat as that's what it creates right now...lol! This has been a long time coming for my client as he wanted to use the Devil's Canyon i7 as soon as it was announced. Here it is in it's current state: Intel i7-4790K@4.9GHz+! Asus Maximus VI Extreme with ROG Controller! 16GBs of Red Corsair Vengeance DDR3-2400! Corsair Hydro H110 in Push with Corsair AF140's! 2 X Samsung 840 EVO 250GB's(One for Windows 7, one for OS X Mavericks) 2 X 2TB Seagate Storage Drives! Asus DC II GTX 780 Ti 3GB! Corsair AX760 Power Supply! In Win Grone in White with Blue LED Fans up front. (This case is a temporary solution as he will be moving to a better case shortly) Plans for the build: Corsair 900D/750D(Which do you think would be more Epic?) A Full EK setup for the Water. 360mm EK PE Radiator for the top(Push/Pull Intake if possible) 240mm XTX Radiator for the front/bottom(Push/Pull) Supremacy CPU Block EK Full Cover GPU Block Primochill Blood Red Tubing All EK Compression Fittings(Thinking black or silver) EK Res X3 150L EK D5 Pump with Clear top Corsair SP120's for the Rads and AF140's for case NZXT Hue LED Lighting kit Black, Red and White Cable Sleeving for the power supply! Hopefully a much higher overclock on the CPU.... How high do you think it'll go? Picture of where it is now: [/img] [/img] This is right after a 3DMark 13 run http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o698/HackmanSD/Capture1-Copy_zpsbb63ddaa.png' alt='Capture1-Copy_zpsbb63ddaa.png'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackManSD Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Hello guy and gals! I have an update on this build and it is going to, in the end, totally change. Even though my client is more than happy with the performance results, he wants more....got bitten by the bug pretty good:biggrin: This is where the system stands right now. i7-4790K@4.9GHz/1.328 volts 16GBs of Vengeance Pro DDR3-2400 currently@2600MHz! Maximus VI Extreme Only the CPU is under water at the moment so the GPU's are running at 1300MHz boost(core) and 7200MHz on the Memory. Cinebench results at this level(So close to that 1K mark): http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o698/HackmanSD/Capture_zps29e84d1c.png Sorry for the quality on most of these pictures, they were taken with my cell during the build/overclocking: http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o698/HackmanSD/photo_zps315a11f5.jpg http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o698/HackmanSD/IMG_20140702_141021_zps2e410174.jpg http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o698/HackmanSD/IMG_20140702_140959_zps0346aa13.jpg My clients original plans were to put everything under water and overclock as high as possible BUT an architecture change is the new plan. We will be selling off his, outstanding, DC i7 in favor of a Rampage Black/4930K combo! He is going for the most performance possible so once everything is under water, I'll be testing the absolute limits on everything! So, 900D, i7-4930K, 32GBs Vengeance memory(Dom Plats if we can squeeze it), Rampage Black Edition, Still planning the water works but it will be mostly EK gear going in. Going to be using at least 2X480 Rads and Maybe Acrylic Tubing. http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o698/HackmanSD/IMG_20140702_140949_zps0f8495d3.jpg http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o698/HackmanSD/IMG_20140702_140941_zps33ebb6c5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackManSD Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 OK, you guys, my customer once again changed plans on the build and is pretty much maxed out on what he can add to it. Introducing the new Project Heat: Intel i7-4960X running at 4.8GHz! Asus Rampage IV Extreme X79 Motherboard! 32GBs of Corsair Vengeance Pro Memory 2400MHz! 3 X Samsung EVO 250GB SSD Drives! 3 X 2TB Western Digital Hard Drives for storage! Dual Asus Direct CU II GTX 780 Ti's In SLI! Corsair AX1200i Power Supply! Corsair 750D Case! EK L360 Water Cooling Kit with Red Primochill Tubing(3/4ID/5/8OD) Dual boots Windows 7 Ultimate and OS X Mavericks 10.9.4! This is where it sits now, he is finally happy with the amount of performance he has on tap. Now we begin planning his dual loop water cooling setup....can anyone say 900D! I didn't take too many pictures of it as we are no where near finished but here it is in its current state! http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o698/HackmanSD/photo3_zpsa83496da.jpg Benchmark Results: http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o698/HackmanSD/1308cbcpuz_zps350a8b2d.png http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o698/HackmanSD/17851firestrike_zps4f26b250.png This is where it stands right now. Have to figure out a small issue with the GPU's though. Booting into Windows without any GPU tweaking software installed/running, the GPU's are clocking them selves to 1361MHz when running the Valley/Heaven Benchmarks! If we alter the core/memory speeds, even by 2MHz, it will auto restart as soon as the bench loads. No blue screen, no driver crashes, just a straight restart....like hitting the restart switch. If anyone has any ideas about what could cause this please write/respond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 was the cinebench run at 4.8? reason i ask is i ran 1278 on a 4930 at stock clock and yours is showing 1308 which seems low... you should be ~mid 14's or about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you had that score at stock? Most 3930K/4930K's at stock are right around the 1100 mark in Cinebench R15. Now, 12.89 sounds about right for CB r11.5 for a stock 6 core. This system clears 15 in cb r11.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 no,after looking at my submission,it was at 4.2 on stock air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackManSD Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 no,after looking at my submission,it was at 4.2 on stock air... That still a really good score at 4.2. I thought you had a special chip if it was doing that at stock...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 That still a really good score at 4.2. I thought you had a special chip if it was doing that at stock...lol well its special to me,does that count?:D: im finally getting ready to hook up my fan controller so im interested in seeing what i can get things up to...

What voltage was it running at 4.2? I love those overclocking sessions when the cooling is up to the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 actually im installing the controller now and running a stress test at 4.2 so ill check full load after 12 minutes and water temp at full load is 30.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 still running,core voltage is 1.3 and water temp after 20 minutes dropped to 29.7 but ac is on,..core temp is 48 this is with the 6 360 fans at 450 rpm and 2 240 fans at 1500 360 fans arent set up yet ac has been off for around 10 min. and water temp is now 32.8 and core temp is 51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODedAssault Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 A LOT of headroom wytnyt. With 1.3v you should get 4.5-4.6 no prob. I assume you just bumped to 4.2 and left everything else auto just for screwing around ? Also your gpu issues are not issues. I'm assuming you are reading mhz from valley benchmark. It's wrong it's hugely inflated over actual boost. Also your gpu will not boost to what the specs say from the gpu. The gpu spec of Kepler is simply an absolute minimum in worst heat/power usage situation. Most Kepler bios go off of the asic quality of the chip. Higher asic gpu will boost higher than a low asic gpu. I've had 98% asic 670 that boosted to around 1300mhz without touching a thing and spec said 1172 max boost.

wytnyt Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 yes the 4.2 was just a quik bump as im still fine tuning the cooling and such.i still have much to do but the fun part for me is just taking my time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen pretty high boost on good cards before just not this large:biggrin: I will be replacing the board today as it is the only thing that hasn't been tested individually. The cards are fine, the power supply is excellent but the board...I'm not sure about. Do you think them boosting so high could cause issues with the restart? Do you think they really are boosting that high as GPUZ reports almost the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anorange5 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Wow, your client must have a hefty budget lol. Otherwise I should of waited for the devils canyon cpu, but i was inpatient and got the 4700k version. LOL I love the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
