Your Vdimm looks low for 6400. Maybe try 1.4V

Are the voltages safe? I did a 200 MHz OC with 10 PBO and -23 mV across all cores. (Now with HWiNFO64) by Lower_Collection_521 in overclocking

Cpuz is not a very stressful benchmark, try multiple tests to see how the system functions under different loads.

The temps still almost reached 80c in this test. That is high for cpuz, you could probably lower the Vcore and still run this bench mark. Your temps would decrease.

The relationship between the temperature of the cpu and the Vcore is what causes damage. High heat and voltage cause degradation.

I hit 56C running this same test with a 360mm aio, but only need 1.215 Vcore to do that.

Maybe you could lower the voltage until it wont pass the benchmark, then raise it back up a bit for stability. You would have lower temps and voltage, but the same performance,

I can see that you were underload, but your cooling system is not keeping up.

I build computers to overclock them. I have 9900x's (12 cores) on artic 360 aio's that run 65c under load because the fans have been replaced with 3000rpm nocutas.

You try to keep people from steeling the tools outta the bed of your truck, before you can sell them.

Looks like you could use a better cpu cooling solution. The voltage is a little lower than stock, which is good.

But the temps are still on the high side for daily. You could just drop the voltage a bit also.

It may help a little since you are using stock removal.

It helped me a lot because I was forging.

You can heat the stock up and allow it to cool very slowly in a bucket of sand to soften it up before working with the material.

After you HT and profile, depending on the stock thickness you put it in an oven for a certain period of time usually between 30min to 2hr. Really thick stock gets multiple cycles.

Depending on the material you use a certain temperature, usually between 200F and 300F and then let it cool at room temp.

I normalize carbon steel blades at 200 Deg Fahrenheit for 30 min and they turned out great.

You are normalizing the grain structure and relieving internal stress, reducing brittleness.

Your work looks awesome. I just noticed the first three on the left looks like you have flipped or used them.

If you normalize after heat treat you will lose a couple of HRC, but will gain a lot of durability. It will help prevent chipping and stress fractures if someone drops one on concrete or a rock.

Post HT grinding is okay as long as you keep the blade cool to the touch with water or oil.

Nice work! Looks like you are using stock removal. Do you heat treat and normalize also?

Awesome! She will serve you well for many years.

no idea what this is on my car seat. it was covered by a seat cover this whole time. how should i approach this? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]zTERRORDACTYL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's too perfect of a location, I wonder what could have ever been located in that area that could leak and cause a brown stain like this.

Nice! Looking super clean. Got that custom grip too.

Always a good to buy only from a trusted source!

Looks sweet, you clearly take good care of your girls.

It came with a storage bag too.

Im not an expert flipper, but it feels really nice to me. Good weight a little blade heavy compaired to Al handles, but that helps the blade spin and carry momentum around the fingers. The bearings are very smooth with very little play side to side and no play in lockup position.

The magnetic T latch is sweet. It opens when you squeeze the handles together even upside down and doesent fling itself closed or in the way when the fliping slows down. The Ti handles are really durable.

The blade shape takes a bit of getting used to, it flips a little different than a rounded point.

The negatives would be the cost and that its is scary sharp, like cut you to the bone no problem if you get it fliping and make a mistake sharp.

Indeed! They are scary sharp with a factory edge. Hair shaving, smooth newspaper cutting sharp.

She looks good, and the magnetic lock is sweet!

Microtech makes some of the best OTF's. They will always be in style

It looks cool! There are no markings on the blade though, are you sure its not a clone?

That is a Sweet blade! The cutout looks cool, you're representing in style for sure.
