Guru3D Tests a Core I7 3770K at 5Ghz

[Don Karnage]

With an MSI Z77 GD65? 😱 They used a D12 for testing but recommended water as load temps were getting very high. At 5Ghz the 3770K consumed 233 Watts.

Whats the recommended max voltage for IB? Isn't it 1.45 V for SB!!!

I would say 1.3-1.35 max for 24 7 if you can keep load temps sub 70-80c

 

[Don Karnage]

From the Data sheet it looks like Ivy Bridge's max is 1.52v

With mainstream cooling you can't go beyond 1.2-1.25+ volts. For 1.3+ you need water and 1.35+ with sub 70c occt is only possible with high end water

I am sensing your disbelief in the capabilities of MSI boards. :sneaky:
