tweakboy just pulled the trigger on 3 parts. CPU/RAM/Mobo

[AdamK47]

Being facetious eh?

Well, yeah, of course.

 

[tweakboy]

Nice rig AdamK47, I have question. On that chip what is your CPU voltage to be able to go to 4.5Ghz

thx

 

[tweakboy]

I was about to get another SSD then I go flak it and bought another 32GB kit ,, now I think I will never run out of resources lol

I can do things with DAW, that are not possible on this Core 2 quadq6600 GO ......
Im gonna get my stuff on tuesday hopefully,,,,, will let you all know how things work out....... Somebody please gotta tell me what voltage to use for 4.5Ghz cuz I have no idea...... thx

That's a good upgrade, I like Intel's workstation platforms for their longevity. Socket 1366 was good for 3 years (2008 - 2011).

I have even heard IVB-E may be delayed until 2014 so you wont feel like your buying too late in the upgrade cycle, with Haswell just around the corner.

With Intel sticking to their tick-tock cycle to a tee everyones consumer chips are outdated every year.

Enjoy your new hardware bro, I hope the build goes smoothly and is relatively painless.

But do you really need 64 gb of RAM?

What program could possibly need or use that much ram?

The more ram you add, the slower your ram will be due to increased latency.

In terms of voltage, 1.4 volts or lower is generally regarded as safe for 32nm intel cpus. I imagine you will need about 1.35 for 4.5.

Also, IVY -E procs will work in any socket 2011 motherboard.

Anti intel fanboys were claiming before ivy bridge processors came out that they wouldnt work in existing socket 1155 motherboards. Of course, this turned out to be completely false. I think the rumor was started by that moron charlie at semiaccurate.

I have it set to 1.35V in the BIOS. At load it's 1.325V.

With my Asus P9X79 Deluxe I needed 1.375V set in the BIOS for 4.3GHz which was 1.35V at load.

The right motherboard can make a big difference for overclocking.

I can do with 32GB. I use Sonar X2 Producer ,,,,, and adding synths loading samples,, plus project ,,,,, I need 32GB for sure,, then I said to myself why not,,,,, your doing this once every 5 to 7 years...... so I maxed it out,,,,, in quad channel 8x8GB

In all seriousness, I have done EDA tool runs (ICC, EDI, ETS, PTSI, etc.) that have eaten even 128GB of RAM for breakfast.

Thanks Lex Luther for your nice response.... 1.40v I can handle easy, so that would get me to 4.5Ghz uh,,,,, I dont wanna push it past 4.5 ,,,,,,I need to get work done instead of fooling around with OCes and crashes and hangs,, ya know.......

Actually if you spent any time on this forum in the months leading up to ivys release you would have seen numerous links to the gigabyte and asus home pages where they listed specifically which mobos were guaranteed to have bios updates released to make then compatible with IB cpus. How that has anything to do with intel fanboyism I really don't know.

 

[tweakboy]

For a 5Ghz OC on this chip... What voltage do I need to put ? thx

Also what voltage for 4.5Ghz ,, thx mucho!!!

Tweak, all chips are different. It is pointless asking because all people can give you is rough figures. If you want to OC you need to set the chip to your required speed, increase the voltage then stress test it. If unstable you increase the voltage, if it is stable you can try lowering the voltage until you find the point where it becomes unstable and then raise it back a couple of ticks.

Get your rig set up with CPU-Z, HWMonitor, IBT, Prime95, and any other stress tests/monitoring programs and then post asking for advice.

 

[BrightCandle]

There is no single voltage that will achieve a clock speed. You can't shortcut the over clocking process, you need to find your stable settings. 5Ghz isn't very likely on a 2011 chip, most top out around 4.5 GHz.

 

[tweakboy]

Thanks puppie04 Will do. Also thanks brightcandle

Ok I want 4.5Ghz can 1.38v handle that and be stable ?

Read post #112 again Tweak. I think you are skipping over stuff in your excitement.

 

[tweakboy]

Does anyone know if I simple upgrade those parts and try to boot up. That windows 8 will boot and find new devices.... or will I get a blue screen and I have to do repair install ? thx

 

[Gillbot]

You can try, but be prepared for a fresh install if it doesn't work. Be sure to make a backup first.

 

[tweakboy]

I have a image in my external Gillbot. I hope it works really,,,, Im not down for a clean insatll ...... too much stuff important stufff,, stress,,,,,

 

[tweakboy]

Yup, 3770k is LGA1155, so it won't work on 2011. The only 2011 quad core is the 3820. If you're going to go for a quad, I'd go for the 3770k, and only bother with LGA2011 if you want to go big and go for the 3930k. If you do go LGA1155, then there's nice boards like the MSI Z77A-G43 with PCI slots (and save you a few hundred bucks ).

On purpose I made sure to get this motherboard. It will fit Ivy Bridge E

Im waiting on that, 6 core 12 threads or 8 core 16 threads and Im gonna buy that and sell what I have. the 3820 will be plenty for me I think for my DAW. yipeeeeeeeeeeee:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Is there something that leads you to believe that there are 2011 mobos that won't be compatible with IB-E? I would imagine if 1 works then they all will and you certainly are paying a hell of a premium compared to some of the offerings avaliable...

 

[BrightCandle]

Until the CPU is officially released we don't know what or even if IB-E will be. We might get 10 core 4GHz chips or it might get cancelled or any number of possibilities in between. You should never buy a platform expecting to upgrade, because the technology is obsoleted so quickly that in practice its rarely worth upgrading your CPU on that platform.

With haswell between now and IB-E there is a mighty good chance IB-E will end up being a lot slower and more expensive than Intels latest architecture. I just don't think 2011 4 cores with 3820 is worth it. If you have a multiple thread problem then get a 3930k otherwise stick with ivy, its cheaper, faster and less power hungry.

The Intel Entusiaast guy here,, told me it will work with my motherboard and if not there will for sure be a BIOS update to support Ivy E

 

[tweakboy]

.....sabertooth. really.

Also 5ghz is unrealistic unless you get a custom cooler

Im under water, and @ 1.45v I get max load 60c ............

read my sig specs guys before speculations...

That is an all in one cooler isn't it? I think you should be ok overclocked but you may need to get something bigger. The 3820 is 130W stock, once you OC it you will want a cooler designed for at least 200W of cooling if not more.

P.S. No need for the highlighted part, people are trying to help you here. That will stop pretty quickly if you are going to give them attitude.
