LN2 day with i7-4960x

[FlanK3r]

Its enthusiasm of extreme OC death here? I hope not.
So my passion reflected in Dark Blue Side! Oh god, dark side and FlanK3r. Non sense! But for once - because mild green/red color make me better for life .

Intel core i7-4960X coming, dark side was in my room for few days one for one day with LN2. I was scared.

i7-4960X borrowed by Intel Czech for review.It was ES QF7Z revision A.

Hmm, I must have tested new PSU Galaxy and "old" good Rampage IV Extreme.

Good isolation, one good average GPU HD 7870 (so no 3D test), poor 2400 XMP HyperX. Because my TridentX died after LN2 show at Haswell :(. Im oldman, gentleman and therefore I use

classic isolating method ,-). Gum, paper etc...

After many hours benchmarking I tried one 3D Mark run. At the beginning I was careful, IB-E was not mine and how it can react with temps/voltages?

I was happy, no one problem with wet at board all time

I like this area. With LLC at "ultra" was CPU-Z vcore the same as real vcore (+- 0.00xV!)

Every nice story ends..Next day "dark power" gone away and I could sleep :)

And there are few results, not good, not bad. For this monster I need next day. I was really too much careful at beginning. This chip could run hard beenchmarks around 5650-5700

MHz and 2D aprox the same as in my results of superpi.


AIDA 64 3.x.x - with strap 125 MHz is some bug...

HWBot benchmark in java

MaXXPI 32M was quickly

And Winrar benchmark 18 000KB/s +

UCBench at 5600 MHz

What about Fritzchess benchmark? Not many people testing this hard loading benchmark with LN2 :)

Classic wprime 32/1024M, but in x64, so a bit slower

And Cinebench R11.5, wow. I never seen life something so fast..

And Superpi was much easier, 6200 MHz no problem

And two videos from benchamrking. First some Cinebench R11.5 and Wprimes

So after these crazy dark days with i7-4960X I must be dressed again in serious green/red t-shirt. FX-8350 LN2 is coming...
