Which cooler is best for Intel i7 ?

Dude said:

Your RAM is still running at 2133, did you save BIOS setting after the changes you made? Run a validation in cpuz and post result please

Yes would be running in 2133mhz because that is without any changes in AI Tweak. No because unable to change timing, sorry thought i told you.


And no wonder why could not change timing !!



When i go to change timings you wanted me to use RAMs timing for 400mhz 18-22-22-42 ? After setting manually to 3600mhz on previous page DRAM timing control screen the left of Auto it shows this 15-15-36 and bottom DRAM command rate is Auto. Do you want 18-22-42 in there ?

RAM i bought shows CL 18-22-22-42 1.35v
Believe at 400mhz seen it in BIOS when changed to 4000mhz.

What about voltage changes ?

Set DRAM Voltage at 1.35-1.40

For Command Rate, you can try Auto, 1N or 2N. I wouldn't try anything else for Command Rate.

Nice, glad you are running now

Looks pretty good

Hi Doug, I was hoping maybe you or the other Gurus might weigh in on my plan. I want to do do a new air cooled Intel/Asus Prime build that I can upgrade later on. Going to use my Antec tower with a new $100 CPU cooler and upgrade to LGA 1200, Z570, i9/i7 K series. Not interested in all the fancy lights and ROG options just want a solid system for now and I will heat it up later after the warranty, except I will bump the memory up to the CPU's high end but that's probably it.
Anyway reading a lot about how hot the 125W 10th & 11th gen cores are but I have a old 130W i7-930 that runs at full OC speed 24/7 with 40C idle & 50-60C temps under load. So my question is should I be concerned about air cooling even with that i9 that wont shift gears at higher temps?
