Assembled using exclusive ROG overclocking capabilities and highly durable components, with onboard Intel® Thunderbolt™ and mPCIe implementation

That's one sweet looking board.
And 8+4pin for the CPU?! Sweet!

Entry-level in June

According to the latest drop in the rumour puddle over at Digitimes, Intel is set to release its next 8-series chipset in April 2013.

According to Digitimes' industry sources, Intel plans to relears performance and mainstream Z87 and H87 chipsets in April 2013. These socket LGA1150 motherboards will replace the existing Z77, Z75 and H77 chipsets with LGA1155 socket and will pave the way for entry-level H81 chipset scheduled for June 2013.

The 22nm socket 1150 Haswell CPUs are expected aaround the same time so motherboard manufacturers expect great interes for the new 8-series chipset simply due to the fact that new socket is not backward compatible. Ivy Bridge is expected to have its peak in the Q4 2012.

As always, take these rumours with a grain of salt as schedules tend to change.

8.0 After spending a week with the ASRock Z77 Extreme9, I have mixed feelings about it, when compared to other Z77 boards on the market. Thanks to a PLX PCI-Express bridge chip, the board enables the use of additional PCI-Express slots, a great feature for users who need support for three or more video cards. However, the oversight there is that the board claims to support quad-card SLI, but doesn't include a bridge to be able to do so, and the claims of five PCIe 3.0 slots are questionable to me. I found several PCI-Express 2.0 switch chips on the board, which simply aren't capable of PCIe 3.0 connectivity. I'm working on getting a bunch of PCI-Express 3.0 graphics cards, to further investigate this issue, but with my sample being and "Engineering Sample", this issue should be rectified with retail versions.
Power consumption was pretty good, and in general 3D performance was good too, but general computing performance seems to be on the low side. Honestly this wasn't something that appeared very obvious under normal usage for me, so while it sounds to be a big thing, it really isn't. Storage performance over all interfaces was very good, and truly, the biggest benefit of the ASRock Extreme9 just isn't shown in any type of testing, unless you populate all the PCIe slots.
Adding support for both quad-SLI and quad-Crossfire to a platform that usually only supports two or three cards with PCIe 3.0 connectivity is pretty amazing in and of itself, and if you want to run that many cards with Ivy Bridge CPUs, your options are pretty limited.
The whole package that the ASRock Z77 Extreme9 delivers is not bad. It's got great aesthetic design, the software is great, the overclocking is really really good, but I really feel that it's a bit overpriced at the moment. Of course, ASRock could pull off some magic and release a BIOS that fixes the performance issues, and then they'd have one killer product on their hands!

how much heat does 3570k produce when OC compare to 2500k ?
since most review are base on europe country temp.OC around 4.2ghz on 2500k vs 3570k on 4.0ghz

Thanks

Final question , what about idle temp ? for both ? using stock cooler ?

Thanks
Last time , I saw some post where it related with the grease of the processor.I dont know which lowyat user , really open the processor metal plate and apply again with better grease.How much the temp drop ?
Is it because of the grease or the processor 22nm smaller size which the heat cannot come out ?

Thanks for the link.It seems like 10'c drop replacing the tim thing.
Guess IB is double combo with poor tim and pack die size.

But worth getting a old processor 2500k than 3570k ? the only advantage is watt usage.15 watts ok idle or overclock ?

i saw on the internet this product: http://www.coollaboratory.com/en/products/liquid-ultra/

seems like it can conduct thermal efficiently.

anyone knows where to get it in our country?

3770K @ 5.0GHz HT 1.44v

IHS off + Arqtic MX-4:


IHS off + Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra:


That's 95C max on 5.0GHz at 35C ambient in a non airconded room
Managed to shave off another ~10C by taking the hottest core & idle temp into consideration.   

With all those applied Stock setting no OC hottest how much Celsius improvement?

hi, just got E3-1230V2, the idle temp is 48C, on stock HSF

is this really normal? room temp may be like 30C?

by the way, just compare with Pentium G630 is 54C, normal load.

just curious

I'm currently using a 3770 with stock cooler and stock clocks, basically the temperature for all cores went to about 70C as I was converting video (each core is at 100% according to task manager). Is this normal? I was in a air-conditioned room as well.

Using a Cooler Master CM690 2 Advanced case with stock fans, front intake, side intake, top exhaust and rear exhaust.

What were you doing then? I get around 68-69C when I'm rendering 3D models and I thought that was worrying.

As of right now just browsing they're 53C.

I have to constantly monitor them because the cooler legs just LOVE to come out and I have to keep pressing them back or I'll get freaking 99C while rendering

Yeah Im aware of the 105C mark but wont continuously going to 99 reduce the lfiespan?

anyone who has removed their ivy bridge IHS can tell me what material are you use to put back the IHS? glue? doublesided tape?

i was wondering...alot of reviews out there or advice from other forum keep saying, if you are going for OC better get 2500k...else 3570k for non OC...my question is that...if is non oc 3570k...how is the temp comparing with 2500k? in both of them stock speed...
