Uncore is in reference to the CPU cache. It has been called a few different things depending on the manufacturer.

This thread has gotten out of hand. Stock frequencies, AUTO OC... We should be ashamed of ourselves! Hehe. I was quite impressed by the performance of the igpu on skylake, a friend of mine ran World of Warcraft just to see when he had to rma his gtx 970, and to both of our surprise it ran almost smooth whith his normal settings! Pretty cool. BTW, what is "system agent clock" in your picture? And the uncore, is that the NB frequency itself or something in the cpu? |

C'mon man. Now who's underclocking, huh?
 I just built this one up this week. And this is using Auto OC in the BIOS, Kiddie Style   |

Threw in the i7 4790k yesterday, and holy damn that thing was hot! over 80c on the hottest core on STOCK.
Investigated the contact, and of course that IHS fugger was bent like a banana. So I lapped the cpu, and it got a bit better, dropped 10-15c or so. Got it running 4.4ghz 1.15v and primes at about 75-78c on the hottest core. Not too bad, but not alot of headroom either. Not that it matters, cpu is drawing 130w during prime, so vrms throttles in about a minute. I tried dropping vcore to 1.1v, primes fine, but get random restarts so Im just running it at 4.4 1.15v now. won't get anywhere near 100% load for long periods anyway. Battlefield now runs smooth atleast, 60-70% cpu load on average.  Will hold me comfy until a nice matx zen board comes along  |

Yea, right. Like keeping up with the Jones when Intel comes out with another socket/chipset every two years is any fun. Aren't you, Xaltar, and myself having a current discussion of the WAF somewhere here? |

My 6600k runs at 1.23v stock, not so great for overclocking sadly. Most non ES 6600k CPUs run at about 1.1v stock so I am 123mv high from the start
 This little guy only manages about 4.4ghz before voltages and temps get out of hand, even using an AIO Corsair H105. My Z170 Pro4s is about the equivalent to your Z97 Anniversary but from the skylake lineup. I have added beefier VRM cooling to it but it hasn't opened any doors regarding overclocking unfortunately. It does look better tho....

Damn, just when it was getting fun!? There's just me and you mods watching, z97m anniversity has no RGB disco lights.. No kid will click on this thread But I gotcha. Lets just hope the 4790k won't be so hungry for the volts =) |

Sorry dude, but that video was a bit much... Actually, the screen shot that shows a BIOS firmware interface was more disgusting. And yes, the VRMs will be on their knees with an i7-4790K, be sure to use an old version of Prime95 that uses AVX2 instructions if you want to release the blue smoke...
