cool
Im getting custom water cooling now, finally lol
is 1.45v for 4790k okay for everyday use under top water cooling?
Not at all. That chip will degrade crazy fast.

I'd keep it under 1.35v
so I changed to WCooling.
The results are impressive.
Temperature drop ~25C vs noctua NH-D15(delid).
Now running direct-on-die + coollaboratory liquid PRO
4800mhz_1.22v
4900mhz_1.29v
5000mhz_1.415v
5000mhz_1.415v temps are about 60-65C in H264 real bench.
Running cache at 4600mhz_1.26v.
Im still tempted to run it at 5G

the epeen isn't worth it. 5ghz in games is the same as 4.5ghz. It won't benefit you. Hell even 4.4ghz is probably the point of no benefitting returns because most games won't take advantage of it.
Plus keeping it above the 1.3ish mark on volts will just kill the chip quickly within the next few short months. At 1.22 volts a 4.8ghz OC is quite good so i would be tempted to keep it there.

Anything above 4.40GHZ-4.80GHZ is just E-Peen as the difference in games will be TINY at best and not worth the extra volts degrading your chip a lot faster.
Coolab paste direct on die? dont ever take that off will you
from my experience it doesnt dry on core-metal just on metal-metal contact. and hey...its PRO not ultraCoolab paste direct on die? dont ever take that off will you
what was it about ?Slightly off topic but this post led me to a thread related to IC Diamond24 paste which give unexpected results and quite an interesting bit of drama with beta testers hehe.
IC24 paste was allegedly destroying cpu blocks, IHS, cpu dies and gpus.
Its very off topic but an interesting read. The drama begins around page 13

What a lot of people don't realise is that ICD24 stains but doesn't destroy that's were they are getting mixed up and a fact people often forget is that metal is porous to a point so staining will happen with certain TIM's.
I use ICD on everything, Even all my GPU's within the past 2 years *Apart from my current one* and apart from staining the CPU's IHS and GPU's IHS *Not the die* it has never done any harm, there's just a lot of people out there that are 100% drama queen certified.

Hence why I stated allegedly. It certainly got out of control in the thread though.

I know just informing others
That thread and many others like it have Grade "A" drama queens in them XD

I actually wasted 2 hours in the office at work reading it. Quite amusing time killer.
That being said, i just "melted" an aluminium can with left over liquid pro just because I could
Housemate was impressed!

Melted it ? Is the TIM that bad ? ^_^
well both ultra and pro contains it. If u dont use aluminium ur safe..
It's not bad. Its great actually. Probably the best I have ever used. Its just that it has a chemical reaction with aluminium.

Exactly. For watercooling enthusiasts its perfect as blocks are mostly copper/nickel plated copper. LP or LPU is fine.
Its fine to even have it direct on the die. You just need to make sure it does not touch any other components. Delidding my 3570k with this stuff dropped it 25C!
This is why I was tempted to go the same route for my 4790k but results are not as desirable with the latest gen from intel so I will just use it on the IHS.
It was a pretty cool spectacle to use it on the can of redbull though. As soon as I scraped it with a knife and set the gallium to work, the fun began
