Because of temp issues im gonna swap cpu( 7700k ), my 3 choices atm is i7 7800X, i7 7740X og ryzen 1700X. But im not sure what the best upgrade will be. Any suggestions?

Why what happen to your CPU man ?

Yeah like I know it's over heating dont you have like a water cooler ?

 

[Ben Percy Ward]

De lid it man. I dropped over 15c of my 4790k with and extra 300mhz overclock. I'm now running at 4.9ghz @ 1.34v and barely ever see temps in the 60s and even under 100% load it sits about 65c with an AIO. I bought the Rockit 88 and re lid kit, worth every cent.

Ive got full custom loop from ekwb now, still spiking 90c in idle and the soike and high temps while gaming cuts all my power. I was gonna delid, but looking for a upgrade instead

Did you check thermal paste coverage?

7780X

 

[Tracie West]

That's odd. I've got the 7700k and I don't go over 70c at 100% with an h100i v2 cooler. Is it oc?

 

[Christer Bærø]

Yeah i got oc but the spiking problem is there either way, but not all 7700ks have this issue, some just got bad thermalpaste inside.

 

[David Quinn]

1700 nonx

 

[Christer Bærø]

Why does all say non X? Isnt X better ? Like the K in intell series?

 

[Robert James Wharton]

Ryzen 7 1700, you get a cooler and from what I've been seeing, no matter what R7 chip you get, they all OC more or less the same

 

[Micky Bottoms]

ryzen if you don't want temp issues

 

[Jarrod Paul Matthews]

Fan boys on both side of the fence here. I haven't tried the new ryzen chips myself as i run an old stock speed i7 4770 but everything i have read says go for an 1700 or 1700x Ryzen and even if you OC it with water cooling if it will still be cooler

 

[Grant Reed]

I run an i7-4790k , but my brother bought the 1700 and we have tested them extensively. The 1700 is about 25% faster than mine, cool as can be and is a real performer at a GREAT price.

 

[Chris Tingman]

Ryzen is the best bet but unfortunately you will need a new mobo as well

 

[Marcus Antonio Lopez]

Delid it and get 15C lower temps man
