I've never blown up a PC since I started upgrading/building PCs in 1986 and yesterday I managed to blow two up. One after swapping video cards. Then I put my secondary PC in service and thunderstorms rolled through while I was at a meeting and blew up the second.
Ive fried boards in jr high / highschool. I don't really remember how but was just changing out ram. Remember sparking and the PC would boot up, but the output was all fckked up.
We had bad weather come through the area like 3 weeks ago and I thought my PC was done for. The power cycled, so it never completely lost power but would flash/blink. This is the worst, because data can become corrupted and firmware. Corrupted firmware has caused me loads of issues in the past.
Really need a UPS

UH is making me want to delid my 5930k
Posted on 4/7/17 at 3:05 pm to stout
I want to see your OCd benchmarks
Posted on 4/7/17 at 3:32 pm to bluebarracuda
I will OC my system when my Titan Xp gets here.

There is a reason we don't delid 2011 socket chips.
Posted on 4/7/17 at 3:35 pm to LSU Coyote
Why? I truly have no clue on that stuff. I am fine without doing it honestly.
Posted on 4/7/17 at 3:45 pm to stout
1. Most are soldered.
2. The surface area of that sockets die is so large, thermals operate fine. You really get nothing in return.
The 11XX dies are tiny. You get a huge benefit from delidding. You might see 1-3 degree improvement. Which isn't anything really.

Then I won't have a chance to best you :(
I'm trying to break 19k right now
Posted on 4/7/17 at 3:58 pm to bluebarracuda
You won't beat him now right? Or yes?
Posted on 4/7/17 at 4:14 pm to LSU Coyote
Gotcha

This is my stock score with no OC right now
Posted on 4/7/17 at 4:27 pm to stout
Those numbers look about right for stock, here is where mine was before I upgraded.
16 603 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080(1x) and Intel Core i7-4790K
Graphics Score 22 208
Physics Score 11 928
Combined Score 7 204

You're pushing over 20k now though?
Posted on 4/7/17 at 4:51 pm to LSU Coyote
I'm beating him now when I'm OCd. I just can't get to 19k for my personal happiness. Stuck at 18850 
Posted on 4/7/17 at 5:54 pm to bluebarracuda
Went up to 1.46v and still can't get 5.1GHz stable beyond about 10 minutes of stress testing. Could probably get it stable at maybe 1.47/1.48v but not going to push it that far.
Back to 5GHz at 1.365v.
Back to 5GHz at 1.365v.

I usually just test my CPU for benchmarks. I rarely ever keep my high OCs fulltime

Same here, there is no reason to when gaming at 1440. I will have two Strix 1080's to sell by the end of the month, two of these are in my near future.

Yea my two 980s do plenty at 1440p. If I know I'm playing a game that won't get the full 60 fps, I'll just bump the core and men clock up and be fine. I won't frick with the CPU clock
Posted on 4/7/17 at 7:39 pm to bluebarracuda
I run it at 4.8GHz idle with game profiles setup for a few CPU intensive games where it kicks over to 5GHz such as BF1 and H1Z1.
You played H1 after the gigantic patch the other day btw?
