Ivy Bridge Results and Discussion thread

I had pathetic experience with my P67 UD4 B3 from Gigabyte, made me not buy a Gigabyte this time.

 

[Ferzerp]

Well, I had to give it .005V more juice.

A corrected hardware error has occurred.

This has been a quite interesting read to say the least haha.

Ive got an 3770k and Asus P8Z77-Deluxe on the way, as well as some g.skill 4x4gb 2400 ram

Ill post temps as soon as I can! Ill be cooling with a H100, and I might see what happens with a D14, before I sell it.

I cannot wait!!! Too bad the 3770k is on backorder from NCIX

This is the OC I have so far, if it stays stable with Prime95, I'll probably stick with it and be happy. I put the offset at +.005, the PLL at 1.6, mem voltage at 1.575 (my memory supposedly runs at 1.5, but that was giving me issues), and the LLC at 50%

This was after the test

This is a quick run before to show the VCore and multiplier

What RAM speed are you running? Gflops look a bit low as I'm seeing around 120 at the same CPU speed, but with RAM @ DDR3-2133.

 

[MPiland]

My ram is only 1600...I haven't OCed that yet, still trying to get this damn CPU OC stable. I can run IBT just fine, but when running Prime95 I get a BSOD. So I keep playing with the LLC and offset...

Is there a "quick and dirty" overclocking guide around (for asus z77 motherboard)? I'm coming from a x58 system so I'm not familiar with how to overclock the chip optimally with regards to all the different turbo settings and voltages and such.

New egg has a video with a asus guy showing the differant ways to O/C your ivb

 

[Don Karnage]

What are we running our PLL at guys? Intel spec is 1.8v but as of right now i'm at 1.25v with no issues with stability.

Hey Don, can you give me a quick lesson as to what PLL affects? I'm going to be overclocking tonight when I get home

Guess is as good as mine. My IBT temps dropped by 5C going from 1.8v to 1.25v

 

[Stochastic]

I'm getting some massive differences in temperatures between the cores of my 3570K, sometimes over 10C. Is this normal or is it more likely that I misapplied the CPU cooler/thermal paste?

Also, what should normal temps be at stock settings on idle using RealTemp? I'm getting around 20C on one core and upwards of 33C on another.

I guess I'll play around with it after I stabilize my CPU at the OC I want.:hmm: Thanks anyway!

3-4C max between the cores. I would reapply the cooler

Its worth a shot. I shot off an email to Raja from Asus to see if he could incorporate allowing lower settings in the next bios revision for the MVG. I'll take even a 1C reduction anyway i could get it.

 

[SickBeast]

I get nearly a 10C differential between the cores and it's normal AFAIK.

Thats weird as they're right next to each other.

 

[jp0ll]

Currently stable at 4.2Ghz with a vcore of 1.12. I'm liking the P8Z77-V PRO board a lot better then the UD5H that I originally bought. I may shoot for 4.5Ghz but I'm pretty content with where I'm at right now.

yea 2000 nm away

Same here. Cores 2 and 3 run hotter then 1 and 2 from what I've read.

 

[RampantAndroid]

Probably just how the heatsink sits on the cores. Wonder if rotating the heatpipes changes this?

 

[Don Karnage]

Core 1 is always the hottest for me by atleast 2-3C

 

[Emo]

Mine too, core 1 is always 2-3C higher than cores 2 and 3 and core 0 is 2-3C lower than them.

 

[Avalon]

You guys changing any voltage besides CPU volts, or is that it? I'm at 4.1 and currently 1.15V and still not stable in prime95 large FFT. Was thinking maybe I'm missing something here...

Seems too low for 4.1Ghz

 

[Blades]

Core 1 is always the hottest for me by atleast 2-3C

Core 3 can be 10c colder than the rest for me. I'd guess even colder than room temp.. so the sensors aren't the most accurate... 19c at idle.. hrmm really.

 

[Xeris]

Ok it looks like my rig is running stable and i managed to clock in my CPU temps at around 30-26-26-23 idle and around 54-58-60-55 at 100% load on stock clocks and 1.096Vcore. It's pretty late right now but tomorrow I'll get around to fiddling with overclocking it and playing around with it and let you guys know what I manage to find.

Also, for some reason, sometimes my voltage starts fluctuating and goes anywhere from 0.9 to around 1.12~1.14; When running Prime95 it stays still on 1.096, any idea why this happens?
