I waited for the Asrock X299 itx board for a long time. By the time it came out 4.5 months later I had lost interest in doing the build. I sold the Kraken X52 (my backup cooler for it in case the NH C14 didn't work) and I still have the 32gb sodimm memory chilling on my desk unopened. Might build it one day, but right now I'm happy with what I have.
i dont know if you are into deliding, but mine drop 25°c, im sure if you would find the real limits of your cpu, from my experience (7700k) under 65°c becomes way more stable and you can also drop more vcore, so in theory again from my experience before deliding i needed 3.65v for stable 5ghz@90°c aswell , and never passed realbench after delid i could drop all way down 3.15vcore and could run realbench aswell and temps alway dance between 60-65
I've never given any thought to delidding. My stress testing temps are high, but normal operation has been fine. The setup has been completely stable. I doubt I'd bother delidding just to lower stress testing temps.
On a side note, I'm guessing you typo'd your voltages? I'm pretty sure 3v through a 7700k would be instant death.
LoL yes !! sorry im an idiot , yes of course 1.365v for 5ghz; i could never hit 5.1ghz because of temps they will spike +95°c, after delid they drop 25°c and managed to get 5.1ghz with 1.38vcore , i can make even work at 5.2 witha vcore of 1.435 but thats just too much voltage for my taste ( temperatures remain stable just slihly hotted ~70°c , thats why i didnt even try to post but is doable to pass the benchmark and at the end i decided to stay at 5ghz with what i think is a nice voltage for the next years 1.315v, my point is by deliding you can really see far you cpu can go
Looks like I failed to properly submit my cpu-z validation last time. Let's see if this works. Also zoomed in on my aida64 test, name, and temps to be more 1080p friendly.

Not de-lidded and it's been running great with no WHEA errors to report thus far (knocks on wood it stays like that).
@DeltrusDisc is this thread not being updated anymore?
Sigh... Well, out of nowhere I've had 4 WHEA errors in the last 7 days. Crazy how it took this long for them to appear. I guess my OC isn't technically "stable" then which is somewhat of a let down. This only seems to happen when I'm playing CoD BO4.
No BSOD's though which is odd.
I guess I'll bump the overclock up and see if the problem still persists.
So, a bit weird, but I can barely find any 10700k overclock threads and experiences. The few videos on youtube suck donkeyballs because they're mostly not in depth and often disingenuous: "OMG 5.3ghz with 1.35vcore!" but not on all cores...
Anyway, what's your experience lads? Right now, I'm stable at 1.32 LLC turbo (which means 1.344 in cpuz during bench) @ 5.1ghz. Temps seem all right, between 37°c and 40°c idle and an average of 80°c during cinebench. Some cores jumped to 86°c for a very brief period of time.
Weird thing is that a few mates achieved the same OC with a vcore of 1.26 which seems impossible considering that what I've found so far online basically states that you need at least 1.3v for a stable 5.1ghz on all cores.
success comes in the form of technical solutions to problems, not appeals to our emotional side
