    Ivy Bridge 3570K Testing, Opinions, Results, New Bios, 4.5Ghz At 1.236v

    ok, so how come you think the 4.5G Ivy is not a cherry, maybe the norm is 4GHz, would you consider that a huge success? From your posts, you seem to be happy with inferior performance. Maybe you should go AMD instead. Good luck in banana land.

    Check the temp of that 2600k at 5.2GHz again, if you can't read- its 75C compared to 97C of the 3770k. You will be able to get same performance of the 2600k at 10% less everything, but at the massive cost of 30% more heat and it will possibly degrade faster too.

    You are assuming they are both running at same temps, when in fact they are not. the 3770k is running at a whopping 97C which makes it an epic fail compared to the 2600k. Power usage is all good, but you can't ignore temps.
