New #3252
Hi,
I don't believe it was the evaluation I did the cpu bench test first after a few minutes I tried to validate it and it failed because it was an old version and to upgrade it
I didn't do the newer versions cpu benchmark though I just validate and posted it so realtemp is showing probably the earlier benchmark that failed
Here's the benchmark from the new version and realtemp reset
Intel Core i9 7900X @ 3990.88 MHz - CPU-Z VALIDATOR

Nice i am currently working on mine i am getting it pretty up there with voltage but it seems to be locking in and being more stable than beforeHi,

i think my problem was being to skimpy on the voltage now i am doing real well at 4.444Ghz but still tuning squeeze a little more at 4.5 it doesn't pass Cinebench so with that being said i am tuning the Blck a little to atleast get a little more from the 4.4 aspect like 4.455 or something just enough to be close to 4.5 Ghz

A good read - The truth about CPU Soldering
Stop hating on Intel. Intel has some of the best engineers in the world when it comes to metallurgy. They know exactly what they are doing and the reason for conventional thermal paste in recent desktop CPUs is not as simple as it seems.
Micro cracks in solder preforms can damage the CPU permanently after a certain amount of thermal cycles and time. Conventional thermal paste doesn’t perform as good as the solder preform but it should have a longer durability – especially for small size DIE CPUs

der8auer puts out some very good information, but he is also one of the biggest self promoters you can find. Like his X299 VRM issue. It was not a problem. He created it. Maybe having something to do with a delidding kit?

It was a problem, and the motherboard industry has acted on it.
On the OC3D TV YouTube channel, Tom has even gone into it deeper, and shown some of the changes manufacturers have made in reaction to the VRM issue(even though it is a special case scenario, when using a power virus like Prime95, and only certain versions & settings at that).
