These things are quite energy efficient

When i set 1.4v in the bios at 52 x 100 cpu-z shows it peaking at 1.47 but HWmonitor shows it at the correct voltage?! Is that something i need to tweak the LLC for?

I find CPU-Z to be more accurate with volts compared to other programs.

Also, as 8 Pack says, no need to for LLC adjustments on the Hero from what I can see. Auto nicely bumps the voltage in line with load, rather than maintaining a consistent voltage when not under load.

These are my findings also, the hero is looking to be a very decent board.
Rich, when you enabled tweak 2 did you notice it disabled CPU downclocking?

What are the temps like none delidded at 5.0 on 240 aio from what's surfaced so far?

Not delidded looks like this (15mins P95 v26.6, and still going) using Kraken x62 240mm AIO:

I'm running Asus Maximus X Hero too, are you checking VID or Vcore in HWInfo?

Red area is what the CPU is requesting from the mobo for the current clock.
Blue area is what the motherboard is actually giving the CPU.

Is it delid time yet

RichUK · 8 Oct 2017 at 12:40

Soon - I need some 5.2Ghz

I think auto was fine on the bios I used. No need for llc. It's easy to test anyway. Go in digipower settings and set level 5 then check load volts, then level 6 and so on.

I think if you do set it the next to top level is correct.

Cheers ill give it a go

Blueglue · 8 Oct 2017 at 12:46

Thanks for the suggestions all. Ill have a play about later.

Sweet! What you got going on it? Conductonaut?

CLU - worked fine on my 7700k for almost a year (I had mine in December last year).

Thanks. Like 8pack has stated, 4.8+ ideally wants a delid then unless you don't mind the extra noise. Tool and TIM and risk yourself with no warranty or pay the extra.

The more I look at it I think I'm going to just get the 8400/8gigram/cheapo mother board as it's nearly half the price of me going for the unlocked i5 /16gb/half decent board and I probably wont be able to tell the difference. Going to be massive upgrade from my old 3570k anyway.

i7-4790K @ 4.6GHz, DDR3-1866

wow nice improvement then even from old i7.

marcus_667 · 8 Oct 2017 at 13:03

@RichUK is the kracken aio any good then i have the 240 ocuk extreme one

RichUK · 8 Oct 2017 at 13:05

The Kraken x62 is one of the better ones, but they're all fairly similar to be fair.

waspy88 · 8 Oct 2017 at 13:35

Does anyone know of any material I can read into what all this means..

I am entering values from forums and videos. Would like to understand what some of this stuff is! VCCO.. SA is there a guide to modern overclocking?
Stuff was so simple back in the day

I'd like to understand the relationship between Vcore and ram speed especially.

AndreiD · 8 Oct 2017 at 13:36

@Prozn
Vcore should always be the most accurate.
You can disregard the VID readings, from what I recall it's just what the CPU is requesting voltage wise, but they have no bearing when overclocking.

Mines holding mine at 5ghz under 60degrees with low fan speeds

Is yours delidded? Mine hasn't been delidded yet.

8 Pack · 8 Oct 2017 at 13:49

Has to be if those are load temps.
