Intel Ivy Bridge Discussion

^^For OC'ing SNB's are better than IVB's. Get i5-2500k + ASRock Z77 Extreme 4.

This with hyper 212 evo

he adds a little extra money he can opt for something better like Cooler Master TPC 812

There is a solution for reducing IVY Bridge heating, have a look.

Intel caught out using cheap thermal paste in Ivy Bridge? -- Engadget

Now, Japanese site PC Watch has taken the next logical step, by replacing the stock thermal paste in a Core i7-3770K with a pricier aftermarket alternative to see what would happen. Just like that, stock clock temperatures dropped by 18 percent, while overclocked temperatures (4GHz at 1.2V) fell by 23 percent. Better thermals allowed the chip to sustain higher core voltages and core clock speeds and thereby deliver greater performance.

but this is not practically possible ,you separate the heat sink plate of the cpu,
god alone knows whether the damn thing will work,besides voiding the warranty of the cpu or fixing back the plate

^^ in simple word that method is not practical at-all - Intel should release a revised version of IB cpus.

Can we expect the price of i5 3570k to be equal to i5 2500k in july

 

[topgear]

why not get a core i5 2500k right now which is a much better option.

^^Now lets wait and see how many are going to shell out 12k for a locked CPU (No matter whatever the name of the bridge is)

 

[saikiasunny]

Almost 14k for a locked i5 is ridiculous. That is not even the flagship model. I think intel will be having a hard time selling these cpus

^^ TFS -)

one interesting thing is with stock intel cooler there's only 3c temp difference between i7 2700k and i7 3770k but i5 3570k ran even cooler ( due to low power consumption ? ) than the i7 2700k but with after market cooler when OCed most of the review says something different which makes 3570k an excellent cpu ( may be even for OCing )

Can anyone confirm whether H77 boards support OCing or not!
Intel mentions that they do support OCing for 3rd Gen. Proccys. But most reviewing sites say the opposite.

Yup, what i was wondering is some what correct. H77 supports OCing an IVB processor not SNB. A SNB on H77 will operate at its highest turbo frequency, nothing beyond that.

No cpu OC support on H77 chipset regardless of SB or IB cpus

look for z75 mobos if you want the cheapest mobo for Ocing Sb or IB K series cpus.
