Overclocking The Core i7-7700K With DIP5

[Chino]

I usually take temperatures from stress test with a pinch of salt. Since you normally don't hit those temperatures on daily usage. But your temperatures look fine.

Regarding sensors, it's a matter of preference. Most users prefer core temperatures. So it's your call.

Understood and agreed about the stress test temps. That's why I'm not concerned when they hit relatively high temps for only very brief periods: under normal conditions I'll probably never get temps that high.

But regarding core vs. socket temps: aren't we basically at the mercy of what program we are using?

I mean, you said HWMonitor takes temps at the core, and DIP5 uses socket temp. And we aren't supposed to have more than one program measuring temps at one time (rule of thumb). So, if I'm monitoring with DIP5, which also has the convenience of having Fan Xpert 4 running, etc. Then I'm going to be seeing socket temps since that is what that program polls, right?

[Chino]

Pretty much. So it all comes down to which type of monitoring you prefer and then choose the program that offers that reading.

Hi to all , new to this forum

I use 7700K stock 4.2 -4.5 boost , Windows 10 energy saving set to performance and my cpu at 100% load has 1.206v-1.208v to all cores and I have Maximum Temps on stress test Silverbence I open the program 2 times in 2 different windows and run them at the same time , even the mouse is lagging
So after 30 minites of stress test I got 80c is that normal ???

My Cpu Cooler is Noctua DH9L using Noctua thermal paste, ( I was using Artic silver 5 and I got 83 max temp)

I understand that this cooler is way to small but I use it with 3770K 4.2 on all cores and I never got more than 70c.
So is this normal ?
Thanks !!!

Your temperature looks normal given that you're using the Noctua NH-D9L. It should suffice in normal usage, but if you're planning to overclock, you should invest in a bigger heatsink.

Thanks for you reply .. I will not overclock , 7700k on this corsair air 240 and the biggest air cooler that it fits on this case and mobo its already way to much.
So I will stay using default clocks , and maybe I will change my case and use Noctua D15 next time.
I feel ok for now listening what you said

****! now i have to scratch myself from the comments.... let me try it. it has being a wile. 6700k with a hero ix should not be a problem right? I just make a clean install since i change 960 evo. has all current new drivers. any notes or observations before installing the only version of the heroIX that is Version V1.01.56 2017/01/05 200.16 MBytes. please let me know quick since i am on my screen now.

Should work fine even with the i7-6700K.

DIP5 is not working properly for me.

I leave the maximum v.core at default on the slider (1.55v)

During tuning when system blue screens, after reboot it does NOT begin from "where it left off".

What SHOULD happen is DIP5 should raise the voltage and try the same frequency again. But it doesn't!

Instead; it simply moves onto step 2 (fan control) -- leaving my CPU overclock at the frequency achieved 1 step before system crash.



I have the ROG IX MAXIMUS APEX. When I enter O/C settings into the UEFI manually I can pass Realbench at 5.1Ghz 1.4v.
With DIP5 it stops at 4.6 Ghz.

ASUS - why can't we get this working properly?
So after a crash DIP5 "remembers" the CPU speed before crash. Then tries the same frequency again at a higher voltage (and repeats this until reaching the maximum voltage the user sets)?

Multiplier should then still continue to be automatically increased until the maximum voltage is achieved.
