Intel has a processor spec often sneered at here on the forums, but it was a simple "guideline" to OEM builders for choices of case-design and ventilation. The polymer is still inferior to indium solder, if it's still better than what they started with. So they started with some cruddy gray stuff, which was replaced in Haswell and therefore Skylake with a polymer.

They also say they were worried that indium solder would crack the die as temperatures were raised and lowered. Intel had begun producing processors without indium solder since Ivy Bridge, so as the dies shrunk, they cheaped out on production. Or - your case ventilation could be improved. Your U12S is probably reasonably adequate for your system.

I compared reviews on the coolers so I had a rank-ordering of choices by performance using similar test-beds. So based on what I'd read and what I tend to do, I estimated a cooling-solution strategy in terms of the temperatures, risks - pros and cons. On the other hand, I think of a system BIOS as my own wading pool of discovery. I'd been watching threads and posts here on this basic Z170 Skylake-K theme for overclocking and cooling - maybe for a good part of a year before I "executed my Great Plan." Now here are the temperature screenshots from different settings to give you a detailed idea about what nonsense I just written above.įull Stock Settings (XMP Disabled, RAMs run off to a good start in building my own i7-6700K with an ASUS Sabertooth "S" model. So the question is, I want to use my RAMs at 3000 MHz obviously, but I want to maintain that stock like temp as well, is there any way to do that? I know the most obvious shot is to reduce the voltage, but to what extent? I am ONLY looking to OC my RAMs, that's it, I do not want to touch any CPU settings if that was possible. And when I disable XMP then I think the voltage is 1.2V, but I am not sure about that. Then when I don't use that option and use the Intel stock option, even though the temps are much lower, I still see DRAM voltage at same rate of 1.35V. Now the question, when I enable All Core Enhancement it does something to the CPU as well, I don't know what, but I see that the DRAM voltage is set to 1.35V automatically. The app used to stress the CPU was something called HeavyLoad. But then I disabled XMP altogether and the max temps were even more low, ~5✬, from even Intel settings. Then I used the Stock Intel settings from the XMP profile, and the max temps were reduced by ~9-10✬, which is a lot.

Now my board is Asus Z170 Pro, and when you select XMP from Ai Tweaker you are basically given a pop up message saying whether you want All Core Enhancement, or Stock Intel settings, I was advised to use the former, so was using it without any problems at all for this long, but yesterday thought about checking temps and all, and then I found that the max temp was hitting 75-74✬, which I found a little bit on the higher side. You see that I have a G.Skill RAM (F4-3000C15D) which is basically 3000 MHz but as motherboard can't support it natively I am forced to use the XMP profile. First of all my system is in my signature.
