Rumor, ivy bridge OCs to near 6ghz on H100

Waiting on Intel 22nm Ivy Bridge CPU's and the Z77 chipset to come out before your next update? The launch now appears to be happening in early April! LR has been told these chips are mighty nice overclockers that get to nearly 6GHz with sealed water coolers like the Corsair H100.

not sure if you want to merge this with the old ivy threads...no post in nearly a month, but was a lot of speculation about 6ghz OCs :>


anyway nice way to raise cpu bottlenecks :>
 
Originally I was considering an H80.
Then I decided not to bother with WC because I figured high end air would be fine.

Now I'm considering a full WC setup, especially since my case (Fractal R3) seems to have holes which are perfect for threading out tubes to mount the radiator externally (no heat dumped in case. Some people might talk about noise issues, but after my previous case, any noise is still less noise).

Considering close to 5GHz wasn't far fetched with SB, and IB isn't a massive change, but comes on a smaller process, it doesn't seem all that far fetched.
 
I'm liking what I hear about IB, going to set aside completely new build funds. Should be fun, I've been riding the piecemeal upgrade trail for too long.

Still not sold on even these closed loop water setups. Air coolers in the same price range are still competitive. I have to deal with the air units large size that can't be moved like a radiator but even if the fan dies the 1Kg of metal isn't going to just evaporate away.

I am still going to wait for Haswell. 😉

Core i7 960 at 3.81ghz cooled by Corsair H50 push and pull with 110cfm fans.

If this is true, can we get stock clocks above 3.6ghz please?

Why would they bother if AMD can't even keep up with their CPUs clocked at only 3.6GHz? It makes more sense to release lower TDP chips with clocks that are high enough for mainstream users, and then overclockers who want to push the chips to their full potential can buy an unlocked version and go nuts. I mean it's not like the lower stock clocks will hold anyone here back. :twisted:

Anyway, 6GHz is crazy. Wonder how much voltage they need to hit that, though, probably more than most people would feel comfortable running 24/7. I'd say that bodes well for them hitting 5.5GHz or so without too much voltage on cheap air, though. Couple that with the minor IPC increases over SB and these chips could be beasts when overclocked.
 
If this is true it will be very impressive. Haven't seen that sort of leap in attainable speeds on air-cooling from one node to the next in a while.
 
I'm not surprised at this at all, extreme overclockers were able to push SB very close to 6GHz and even slightly higher. Since IVB comes with a higher max multiplier than SB (63 vs 57), passing 6GHz should be quite a bit easier on IVB, and a lot more chips should be able to do it. I don't think reaching 6GHz on IVB would be as easy as reaching 4.5GHz on SB, so 6GHz would still take quite a bit of overclocking work and some luck with good bins.

3.8ghz is not very fast these days. Also IPC is higher on SB and apparently even more with ivy. A 5.5ghz ivy would make the i7 960 look like a pentium. With lower power usage, faster IPC, higher OCing potential, and the dirt cheap prices of a 2500k and board I really don't see a reason not to upgrade.
 
IB coming with a higher unlocked multiplier should tell us something. It would be great if hitting 5.0 is as easy as hitting 4.5 on SB.
I'd take 1.32-1.35v at the clock speed too... please 🙂

There is No such thing as a closed loop as you people are using it . Factor sealed yes . But you have either a closed loop were pressure exist at the reservoir or an open open loop were the reservoir builds no pressure and its OPEN to the Air . PC people should stop tring to rename everthing that has come befor PCs . What your referring to is Factory sealed closed loop . Pure junk. Now a nice setup is also a closed loop but you install the parts that you buy and fill the system.

I will be more than happy with a stable 5.5 GHZ IB.
 
Another god damn chipset?

Whats the story with this z77?

Thought z68 was the compatible chipset or will z77 be like a budget chipset?

I cant wait for the following news to appear:

"Intel smashes the world CPU frequency record of 8.4 Ghz set by AMD's Bulldozer".

Whats the point . Its useless and not really a stable O/C . Its epenis and the guys who use to and still do these useless O/C s aren't any differant than most 12 year olds. From what I have seen some can't run a server correctly.

It is. Z77 only adds a few more USB 3.0, pretty much guarantees the mobo will have PCIe 3.0 and concretely guarantees Ivy support. The Z77 will be the latest highend 1155. It will have some smart SSD caching which the Z68's already have ect. There will be a Z75 or H75 (something like that) that will not have integrated graphics.

No difference... or very very little.

Wrong, they will have integrated graphics, but not as many other features – with the H75, one missing feature will be overclocking.

So SB doesn't have an IGP is that correct? Why would anyone who buys a K series IB buy the low end chipset that NO LONGER O/Cs LOL. Ya I have seen the word Wrong used many times and this one here wasn't all that differant from most I have read . Your On Par for the course.

It is useful, so that the real retards who actually think Bulldozer is faster (based on their immaculate but cursory reference to clock speed) will finally begin to understand.

Also, for some the pursuit of cpu speed is almost akin to that of the Bugatti Veyron SS/ariel atom. Yes, they may define success by a single number (top speed/lap time), but by selecting such a simple objective standard, they know it is the most difficult to achieve.

More Importantly, we have heard rumors of 5.5 Ghz at 1.2V, and the easily attainable 6 Ghz only adds substance to that claim. Has anyone seen at what voltage this thing needs to stabilize/boot +6Ghz?
