re: nVidia GTX Titan - SM8 Titan SLi [Build Log], coming..

Its not nearly as thick as other TIMs

"Slimmed down" Titans rumored to hit the market in the next months.

Less VRAM and clock at a cheaper price point.

Its a very weird texture, I don't know how to explain it. Its VERY difficult to clean.

I didn't get a q tip with mine, so I used the syringe to spread it out

Should be getting that shrink tomorrow or Wednesday.

When I had my old 3570k, I had it stable at 4.4 at 1.214v.

My temps were high 60s, low 70s

is said 3570k the one you delidded? is your new cpu you delidded a 3570k? You're saying that the delidding made a 20 plus degree difference?

Basically I have seen where the delidding makes a world of difference but that has been people that have a core at30 degrees higher than others of some just stupid high temps at low voltages. I want to know if you think delidding it will be worth voiding the warranty. Like I said, I already made the investment but if YOU don't think it is worth it as someone who has done it then I will rethink it.

just did one hour linpack on 4.2 with 0 errors. same temps obviously. on to 4.3.

So my sound card won't fit on my mobo with my two video cards

Now on to an external headphone amp...

At 1.22 I really think you will get 4.3 stable,

You are at fixed voltages so your heat really won't change with upping core clock.

You know you don't HAVE to buy them... This is a safe place with people that care about you...

Oh it's 4.3 stable for an hour of linpack. Temps the same as expected. Problem is when I blend temps avg 75 and touch 77 on the hardest sets. I'm not comfortable doing an 8 hour run at those temps.
It booted and ran linpack at 1.21 for 30 minutes. Still getting a little variation in vcore. Like at 1.21 occt read vcore as 1.2 while hw monitor read as 1.216. Dropping llc wasn't the answer so I'm guessing its a function of the power delivery of the mobo. At 1.21 the temps were a shade better in occt but I fear will still be mid 70s in prime. Plan of attack is to see if I can drop voltage to 1.205 in bios and be 4.3 stable in occt and prime with temps not past 75 on any core. I want to fully explore the thermal performance as it stands before I delid so I will have a good idea if it made a difference.
