My chip came but I can't find my thermal compound so I took some pics instead...CPU porn!

I used an ipad3 as a background, that caused the pattern in the 3rd shot.

Just in

i7-3770K
SR0PL 3.50GHZ
MALAY
L204B259

updates much later when i get time to pop it into the new system that i have mostly completed already


EDIT: pretty sure my ASROCK Z77 Extreme 4 is DOA. Can't get anything out of it. Was going to use integrated graphics first so no GPU is plugged in yet, but I can't get it to power on or do anything... if you guys have any ideas let me know but pretty sure its DOA and going to RMA.

Well guys, no results from me today. PSU is DOA. Fan is stuck on grill and will not budge.

4.8 IB = 5.0 SB

It looks like in total war a 4.8 ghz ib is equal to about 6.08 ghz sb by the gaming benches u linked ^>^

6.08 should be np at 1.7v with dry ice, the trick will be managing the dry ice while playing at the same time. You'll need to have some luck getting a decent bclock past the 57 multi but still doable. If you can get a 4.9 ghz o/c on IVY though it might be easier to go that route than to try and set world records on sb just for total war fps.

Hello everyone! I'm new here but I wanted to share my experience so far with the i5 3570k. I picked up a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H board and i5 3570k from my local Microcenter on Monday. Currently stress testing at 4.0Ghz with 1.055vcore. I'm using a 212 EVO cooler and my max temps so far have hit 60 degrees. My goal is to hopefully hit 4.5Ghz but I'm not sure if the chip will get to hot for that. Also, what is everyone using to stress test? I've been running OCCT but I think I'm going to run Prime over night and see what happens.

Depends on where you shop... ;)

That's a good price for the Venomous X, except it comes with no fans.

I got my Nzxt Havik 140 for $40 which I thought was at least a warm deal as it came with two 140mm fans and it actually beats the Noctua coolers.

I have so many fans it didn't matter.

does anyone know what kind of performance differences there are if you use an i5-3570K in a Z68 rather than a Z77? (like heat, power efficiency, IPC, etc...)

Minimal, really.

The 3 advertised biggies are native USB3, PCI-E 3.0 (minimal difference unless 2560x res or multi gpu), and licensed Virtu MVP.

The REAL BIGGIE is out of the box DDR3 2400, 2600, or even 2800.

So for a decent majority of gamers out there the recipe is going to be:
1) Mix 1 3570k or 3770k with a z77 board and add 2 x 4gb of DDR3 2400-2800, 120gb Crucial or Samsung SSD, and a GTX 680 (or the cheaper HD 7970).
2) Grab a Hyper 212 Evo or better cooling.
3) Set the CPU to 1.2-1.25v for 4.5ghz and PLL to 1.6v.
4) Test for stability.
5) Enable Virtu MVP.
6) Game on!

Ok guys some old school vintage P67 action!

3770k L206B314 P95 x64 stability testing on an Asus P8P67 Vanilla Bios 3207, air-cooled on a Venomous-X with 2x Enermax Magma 120mm fans:

4.7ghz @ 1.328v: ouch, kinda getting a little too toasty so stopped after 30min:

4.6ghz @ 1.276v after 1 hr: idles at .96v and 1600mhz - not too hot and not too slow - this is going to be my Goldilocks setting :)

Good to know :) Question: What's PLL do? I have a i5-2500k @ 4.0ghz, but I haven't touched voltages settings AT ALL...

Just hooked up my 3770k. I have a few case problems, but I'm going to punt on those for now. Also having trouble running 24 gb (8x2 and 4x2). I have 16gb g.skill areas 1600. it seems it should be possible to throw in 8b of g.skill ripjaw 1600 as well, but no luck so far.

I did a quick OC, went to 4.6. moved voltage to 1.25. Booted fine and seemd stable. I have to finish tie up a few ends and then i'm going to start running OCCT and prime95

I'm at 4.0Ghz with 1.18vcore on my 3570k. Max temps were 60-63C during OCCT. I'd like to hit at least 4.2Ghz but I'm not sure about the temps.
