Ivy Bridge + P67

[B-Riz]

Anyone running this, stock or OC?

Keep the 2500k and crank it up! There would be little to gain from Ivy Bridge using the P67 chipset. I see no reason you couldn't match Ivy's performance edge by a higher overclock. Most likely you'd be able to exceed it due to Ivy's nasty temps....Unless your 2500k is a total dog of a chip at least.

Currently it is at 4GHz, not a true hardcore OC due to wanting to take advantage of power saving during non-intensive load.

Was wondering how the new chips did with P67, as replacing a board that does not *need* replacement is a big hassle.

 

[Kenmitch]

My chip in sig is overclocked to 4.8ghz currently. As I'm typing this it's sitting at 1.6ghz 1.000v's so I'm not sure what you mean by power savings during non-intensive loads

I have the same motherboard as you as long as yours is a Gen3. Updating bios to the current one wil give you support for Ivy Bridge. The current bios works good on my rig so far.

You could try it and see I guess. Just seems like the hassle won't be worth the reward in the end tho.

I was running a 3770k on my P67 below at 4.6ghz on air.
Was roughly the same as my 2600k at 4.8ghz so I sold the 3770k (higher market value).

No point swapping out unless you have a really crappy 2500k.
Ivy does 4.5ghz easy and reasonable.

Depending on how it is approached, some people setup the OC as the frequency all the time, others leave the power saving features on.

I do not have the Gen3.

No real desire to swap chips, just seems most people are getting a Z77 board so not much info with a P67.

The issue with using the Intel® Core™ i5-3570K on the P67 chipset based board is most likely you are going to be losing a couple of the advantages of the 3rd generation Intel Core processors. Most of the older P67 boards won't support PCI-E 3.0. Or newer software features like the Intel SRT or the latest Lucid Virtu.

Stay with p67 till p87 comes out.

Right right.

I personally am not going to go big upgrade until Haswell, Haswell-E or later, as I want to game at 2560x1440.

Not true, asus p67 and h67 and h61 boards support pcie-3.0

SAME FOR ASROCK

Lucid virtu doesn't work to as promised in reducing power with switchable graphics.

My 2500k is at 4.5ghz and I've taken it up to 5ghz and in both cases all the power saving features work great and it idles at 1600mhz and very low voltage.

Wasn't there an issue where the Ivy Bridge chips were stuck at a lower multiplier on P67 boards? Or has that been fixed with BIOS updates?

Never heard about it.

More like z88. p series died with the 6 series.

 

[Rvenger]

Wait, what advantages would z88 hold over Z77? Or is this being made up right now?

I don't know if it's a tic vs toc thing but looks like it'll be z87 instead of z88 for the top of the food chain next go around.

Speaking of chipset names, the Santa Clara, California-based company will follow its existing pattern, leading to Z87, H87 and Z85 branding for consumer desktop motherboards and Q87, Q85 and B85 chipsets for corporate / SMB mainboards.

Haswell as it's S1150 only for the desktop at least
