3770 k UPDATE DELIDDED

[LagunaX]

Definitely worth it if you don't kill your chip by scoring he pcb too deeply into the metal or hitting the die.

After Delidding:

Yes, I did win the silicon lottery on this 3770k.

yes but do remember I am running offset voltage so the actual voltage is 1.312 which it would indicate that it could hit 5.0 but like I said it gets crazy after 4.949 as far as 24/7 I run it stock

I though CPU-Z shows your actual voltage? I run an offest as well.

Base voltage 1.064 + .0235 = 1.299volts - I see my volts top out @ 1.308 and droop as low as 1.292 and 1.272 - Still stable with games and Stress Testers @ 4.8Ghz.

If I delid, I would run it @ 5.0Ghz @ 1.35-1.36 as it's stable - just too hot.

I found a post indicating that it is indeed possible to hit 4.4GHz while keeping temps under 80C on a 3570k using stock cooling. (And some quality thermal paste, of course!)

I think that's an incredible value proposition. 4 cores at 4.4GHz for right around $200? I dont even see how it makes sense to spend money on cooling if you only are going to get 10% more performance for 30-50% more dollars.

For someone on a strict budget doesn't seem like a bad idea at all. Nice find!

I'd be hesitant to run bare-die with the stock heatsink due to the terrible retention mechanism but delidding and putting the IHS back on (to improve contact) seems very reasonable, and will probably get better results for most than just replacing the heatsink.

What are your temperatures @ 4.8 because if it has not been delided and you are hitting 4.8 you will definetely get to 5 ghz which in turn you will be faster than Sandy

I have run it at 5Ghz before and run stress tests but it get's to 105c pretty quick. Now I hit in the low 90's when running Prime 95 or IBT. When gaming only in the high 60's. I really only game with this PC, so the 90's while stressing doesn't bother me too much. But hitting the thermal limiter does

Waiting to see how Ivy Bridge E will overclock!

The only logical conclusion there is to be drawn from this delidding business is that those temperature numbers might as well be "smurfs running around the cpu". As long as the smurfs can run freely around, not bumbing into eachother, and thus get throttled, you can have as many, or as few, smurfs as you want.

Doesnt really matter.
I guess .. I really dont get it. Does that make me an non-enthusiast?

Its more than that. Temperature affects power consumption and it affects maximum clock speed. If you can get a CPU down from 90C to 50C at load you may be able to get another 100-200 MHz out of it or save 10s of watts of power. It will also work for longer. Its not smurfs, its definitely a good idea to go as cool as you can afford, more so when over clocking.

I concur, in addition people that build rigs for whatever purposes for the most part they have two main objectives; to be able to run the software at the maximum settings as the system built will permit. And the second one to learn and experience new technology hands on creating a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment from it. As to Smurfs running around Buy a Dell or a hewlett packard those are really full of smurfs specially at their customer support :biggrin:

Hahaha .. got it, I'm not in the club

200mhz and 10 watts is just below my threshold for "can i give a *censored*"
