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

[Don Karnage]

Am I nuts to assume it'll do 5ghz on a xspc rasa kit? This isn't an ES. Its retail boxed before anyone asks.

The early word is that IVB won't clock any better than SNB, but the results were sketchy at best. Please keep us updated on your IVB trek!

I do 5GHZ on a mid range air cooler, so you liquid will definitley do it.

how are you getting in don?

Got it from hong kong

Keep us posted. I am interested in the temperature results after your OC.

Ill have a full thread on Tuesday. Im also waiting on my Z77 board

 

[Skott]

Yeah, everyone says IB is basically the same as SB when it comes to overclocks. Be nice to see some real numbers from retail stock.

 

[TidusZ]

I'm really looking forward to hearing about overclocking, especially voltage and temperature results, although I wont be water cooling.

 

[Absolute0]

I think IB on watercooling should exceed the SB overclocks

I will cross my fingers and hope you hit 5.2 Ghz stable

 

[T_Yamamoto]

me wanty

 

[Tempered81]

I think you'll end up at 4.7-4.8. Looking forward to your results man!

how much are these suppose to cost?

and what about motherboards? Out Tuesday too?

This processor should cost the sane as the 2500K and Z77 mobos are already available.

That Biostar board should OC just fine Always had great luck overclocking biostar boards.


13 phase power. I think they kicked it up a notch this time for Z77. Might have to get myself one sometime.

Figured the Biostar board would hold me over till the maximus V gets released

i looked on newegg and could not find any

edit: looks like there are some on amazon

Let me know when you get rid of it

The egg wont have any till the last week of april

Let me know when you get rid of it

Will do

The overclocked temps are all that I need to know.

 

[PlasmaBomb]

Remember YMMV so if Don hits >5.0GHz it may be an outlier...

13 phase power.

From the Hardware secrets article.....

The CPU voltage regulator circuit of the Biostar TZ77XE4 has ten phases for the CPU main voltage (Vcc a.k.a. Vcore), two for the CPU VSA voltage (memory controller), and one for the CPU VTT voltage (PCI Express and DMI interfaces). Therefore, it uses a “10+2+1” configuration. The voltage regulator is controlled by an ISL6367 integrated circuit, using an analog design.

From the Hardware secrets article.....

I wasn't expecting a lot from a 140 dollar board but someone on XS hit 6.7Ghz with it on LN2 so i figured what the hell.

 

[Rvenger]

Biostar used to make one of the best overclocking motherboards. I am not sure about now since they haven't made a high end board in ages...

 

[T_Yamamoto]

maybe theyre secretly waiting for a CPU that can be Oced really high
