Does this happen every now and again? Some Hackintosher figures out a way to hack Geekbench? Or is this possibly a legitimate score?

4930K @ 20ghz? This can't be real, right? 96795 Geekbench 3 http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/492476 EDIT: Ok, it's a 4930K, but is this for real? If so, who's holding back?

Interesting, others have found the same clock speed with some units of this processor: http://www.tonymacx86.com/overclocking/115669-i7-4770-non-k-3-69-ghz-rather-than-advertised-3-9ghz-turbo.html

Right, my old system used RDRAM.:lol: I kind of figured that out reading these boards and doing my build. I just always assumed that the MoBo and processor are locked in (I know they're soldered on some boards), and that the thermal grease had something to do with that.

That may have solved something else, but now it sounds like a different problem. This fix worked perfectly on my gigabyte GA-z87x-ud4h, but will differ in its usefulness with different boards. Post your motherboard and the install settings you used. It's not likely that I can help, but someone...

Ok, I got the message. SILENCE IS GOLDEN. I put together the following build: i7-4770k GA-z87x-UD4H Crucial Ballistix Sport 8x2 @ 1600 Antec HCG 850M NZXT 210 Elite None of my old components had connectors for current pieces. If anyone needs a 300 watt PSU or HDD with ATA/IDE connectors let...

Me, too. This got it working on a Z87x-UD4H ML install for me. Thanks.

Hi, I'm totally new to building these things, but is it normal for a K CPU to rate a little higher than its advertised speed without any overclocking? After installation of OSX My build is showing 3.69ghz, though the BIOS settings are stock, 3.5 ghz, and I made no changes to voltage or...

Hi, My Mac Mini is nearing the end of its useful life and I need some suggestions about how to go about this. The forum has already answered most of my questions, but: Like most here, I think, I am interested in putting together a system that gives me many more useful years than my current...
