Hi,
Just upgraded from 6600K to 7700K.
(I believe I saw some improvement, snappier ? I wasn't expecting much)
But I have some questions,
- before, I ran my DDR4 in auto at 2133 because it didn't seem to matter. Now the 7700K is more of a 2400, so does it make sense to run it at 2400 or is the rule made by Z170 and it stays 2133 ? (or do you insist on XMP (3000) ?)
- AI Suite shows cpu frequency 4400MHZ maximum, I believe. I understand 1 core 4500, 2 or more cores 4400. So am I stuck at max 4400 ?
(my actual bios settings are mostly auto, cores probably synced)
- I did some Prime95 runs. I did get temperatures of 80 to 90° depending on where I look. I got 1 worker stopping du to an error.
It seems my system isn't up to Prime95 :). I even got my screen go black at some point but my computer still running...? but no big deal, after a clean reboot it was ok.
I also seem to get some new light coil whine during benchmarking ? a ghost ? (might be GPU's fault)
Thanks,
