I bought my FIRST REAL UPGRADEABLE LAPTOP! I spent $1,100 USD. How did I do?

Honestly very impressive! You can easily push the GTX1080 with a solid undervolted 1,911Mhz core clock and I’m running the memory at 11,400Mhz right now. It held Solid temps in the mid to high 70’s with standard Kryonaut thermal paste under a stressful load.

The intel 8086K is delidded and relidded and with standard Kryonaut thermal paste it could easily handle 4.8Ghz with a -0.180 undervolt. Max temps around 89C-91C with a double stress test running a loop at 100% load.

You could run R15 all day long back to back to back without throttling, or prime 95, or anything else for that matter too lol. Even with multiple stress test running simultaneously the individual CPU cores would run 88-91C. Again with a delidded 8086K and Kryonaut thermal gel on the lid against heatsink.

Just like @jc_denton said, you really just gotta know how to make it purr.

Ive never seen such a capable laptop lol.

Im running liquid metal on the CPU and GPU as of now. My temps are about 8-10C lower. I can manage 5Ghz on the CPU with heavy stress testing, and the GPU runs cooler and uses even less power.

At 5Ghz with (2) CPU stress test running simultaneously. I’m seeing 92C without throttle. Im hoping another LM coating with help temps a little more. But, a stress test is really unrealistic. And my real word day to day temps are more like 38-88c with heavy loads and gaming at 5Ghz

100% of all 8086K’s will run at 5Ghz. So, it is a great laptop CPU to use for sure!

But as far as temps really go, running this CPU stock with a undervolt runs like 55c and the GPU will run around 48-52c with my fans on near silent while undervolted. It is extremely impressive what you can achieve with a laptop!

Just going from 4.3Ghz to 5Ghz results in temps from the 50’s to the low 90’s under 100% stress load. Crazy what 700 extra MHz does.

 

Actually it was @jaybee83

I'm more brute force kinda a guy, hehe.

 

Is crazy how much better the 8086K is compared to the 8700K or else you live in a very cold place. While on Prime95 stress test 8k length fft my CPU will comsume around 110 W (at 4300 MHz), and my laptop (delidded with LM) can't handle 110 W without reaching 100ºC and hence thermal throttling

 

The 8086k can be a fair bit better.

 

I miss my 8086k. I wonder how much it could have been pushed in the p870 chassis, with all the tweaks and tricks I know now.

 

5.2-5.3Ghz ish. The die is already thinner and I have it with liquid metal under a taller heatpreader.

 

There is no guarantee that every 8086k chips will do the same https://valid.x86.fr/3ynpju Not even the half.

 

You have top 2% right there of all 8700K's probably.

Probably. Put all cores at max. And the Orange flag market Unchecked ashould be Green and....

Click the Submit button in bottom right of Cpu-Z validate tab to get that.

 

Here's double stress test load -200 undervolt at default 4.3Ghz all core 8086k default speeds. Around 61 watts under a extreme load.

Intel burn test, with MSI Kombustor CPU stress test running simultaneously. Temps are very low.

My ambient temps in my house are around 68F-70F usually.

lol this thing won’t run No 5.4ghz

^ just for fun

 

No problem brother But what is a thread without screenshoot of your Cpu benchmarks. Remember turn of your Av software.

MAXON Cinebench R15

 

That 8700K of yours is one bad ass chip!

 

Yep, still a chance at a decent 8700k but the earlier you got one the better and the bell curve is worse than the 8086k.

 

I’ll get some up. System down again, checking Liquid metal application, and might do the shunts on the GTX1080 while it’s out.
