Maximus IX Code - A little insight and delidded 7700k

[Nate152]

Hi NiscoRacing

My pc is running great !

This is the first time I've posted with the BCLK at 312.50, before delidding I was only able to hit 250 BCLK.

I spoke with Martin who does the HWinfo program and he said there is a filter that prevents it from reading the BCLK above 300.

He said he will address it in the next version.

Hey nice OC's here Nate. Which of these OC's are giving you best scores on Real Bench 2.54?

[Nate152]

Hi chevelle65

Thank you !

Sadly at 5.3GHz I cannot pass the Realbench benchmark but it plays every game I've tried so far.

The new version of HWinfo will be released tomorrow.

I'm finally putting the finishing touches and I have a question. I have 4 chassis fans and there are only 3 dedicated fan headers. So, can I use the H_Amp, the CPU_OPT, the W_PUMP or the AIO_PUMP headers???

Hey StoneCold52

Good to hear you about got it done !

The Maximus IX Code has 8 pwm fan headers but you can use the other headers you mention if they're more convenient.

The picture doesn't come through. If you want to text it, I'll give you the number through IM. Let me know. Are you counting the headers I mentioned in the 8 pwm's. If not, I just can't see them either on the layout in the literature or the board itself. Thank you for your efforts and I'll press on. One more question, my heat sink moves a little, but I really don't want to tighten it anymore.

You want the heatsink pretty snug but you can let it how it is and see how temps are. You can use the headers you mentioned as fan headers too, whichever ones are more convenient is fine.

I use the W_Pump header as a fan header.

[StoneCold52]

Ok, I'm now officially embarrassed. I connected four pin extension cables to my fan headers. This was fine until, as on of my last things to do before lighting it up, I realized all my fans, except the CPU fan, are THREE pin. How did I miss that?? Any ideas?? Do I have to get new fans or is there some kind of adapter?? Aaaarrrrgh

Update to my last post. My three pin fan connector will plug into the 4 pin extension and the red-yellow-black wires line up. Will this work??? Or am I screwed unless I get new fans????
