^^The prices here will be about 20% more than that at newegg.

 

[Vishnupg45]

the increase is due to tax or just the worst dollar conditions

I5 3570K is Available at Newegg.com for $249

Yes this is true.. I remember 10 months before, i5 2500 was sold at 9500 (cheapest) and now 11800 or something.. sad.

I dont know whether i should post other forum links here but its important find

Bought an Ivy Bridge today - bit-tech.net Forums

If it's important then it's absolutely fine to post other forum links in a post - no need to use spoiler tag.

Ivy Bridge's heat problems persist, even with the removal of its IHS :: TweakTown USA Edition

Still couldn't find a answer why should I go for IB instead of SB

If i buy i5 2500k , then i have to buy a z68 or p67 or z77 motherboard for overclocking . but the price here are high and more thank 10k . So is there any motherboard for overclockers at price less than 7.5 k . Or we should wait more and buy when the price decrease ??? and when can we see the price decrease???

^^Biostar TZ68K+ @7235 (Flipkart).

[Sainatarajan]

When will the Ivybridge be available in india

 

[Vishnupg45]

When will the Ivybridge be available in india

same doubt and i cant find any gigabyte h77 mb for ivybridge any news about it?

 

[RiGOD]

It'll be available very soon. Just wait for a week or two. But trust me, the prices are going to be damn high.

 

[SunE]

Yes the price is going to be around 15k at least for the i5 3570k. Better to buy i5 2500k instead as according to me IB is going to be a huge fail since it does not perform as good as SB. Agree guys?

 

[Vishnupg45]

afaik oc'ing is the biggest challenge in IB. Other things are similar with SB. Not everyone's gonna oc their cpu.?!

Hey Guys,

A little caution if anyone want to upgrade to Ivy with Gigabyte 6 series mobos (Z68) -

We grabbed the Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard, updated the BIOS to the latest version (F12), and dropped a brand new Intel Core i7-3770K processor (our review) into the board. Everything worked great with the default BIOS settings, but when we went to overclock the processor we noticed that the CPU Clock Ratio could go no higher than turbo clock ratio of 39. You have to raise the CPU ratio in order to get the most from these processors, so by having it locked at 39 is a deal breaker.

^^ I think a bios update will fix this.

I'm not cilus

and there's no compelling reason to go for IB - if you want a cpu now stick with SB.
