I am not a novice and this is not my second post. Miserable site made me change my user name when i registered a new mobo.
I just put together a new rig with a maximus VII formula and was pulling my teeth out trying to figure out why my new devil's canyon was hitting 80c at stock clocks and a fixed vcore.

I had to manually input the turbo watts as asus bios auto setting is WAY out of line for this cpu. photo is below and cured my issues. fully stressed for 1 hour on an older corsair h80 vcore at 1.150 volts 4.6 ghz high tems of 64-69c now. Also vcore was jumping up even though i had llc disabled. I had to set the FIVR to balanced to get rid of that. The values are CORRECT asus for some reason multiplies whatever you put in the field by 8X! :mad:

Credit to koroziv for posting this on the intel forum! TY:D

hope this helps anyone who needs it. & Asus...you need to fix your bios for this cpu. Posted all over the net....

hi,

I used this fix, had to put 256 too btw.

I had few questions about my rig.

I got my first Watercooling AIO (silent loop 360) and maybe i was expecting too much of it but i wanted to know if my temps are correct. I will try to provide the more infos on my rig and issues

I run it at 4.4 but i set the core at 44/44/43/42 so it's more often at 4.2.

I mostly use it for gaming and few video encoding for work.


My tems are 33/37 idle
In game it can goes to 60 for brief period of time but mostly 55/60 max.


i did a stress test on xtu and here are the results and temps : https://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/422113442.png

I used kryonaut thermal paste and added 3 extra fan for push pull.
My case is a Enthoo Luxe
Gpu : evga 1080 Ti FtW3

Intake
2 x140 fans on the front
1x140 on the bottom

Exhaust :
6 fans on the top -push pull
1 140 on the back.

Al the fans are silent wings 3


And last but not least there are some screenshot of my bios settings, maybe you guys have optimisation tu suggest :
