i'm currently slowly building a new PC after 6 years. got the case (Corsair Carbide 400R) and psu (Corsair TX650) already. last week ordered an Asus P8Z77-V LX motherboard. now waiting for the Ivy Bridge processors to be available...

a very slow project indeed...lol

oh thx, but i'm waiting until all the available options are in the market, then decide which model to use...

by the way, can we expect the price more or less the same as SB : source

this one should be nice for low budgeter.....

does the overheating issue resulted from OCing only ? how about stock clock ?

although the processors are not available in the market yet (except few Core i7) for us to make conclusion, jumping from SB to IB wouldn't bring much difference if you ask me. yes it is a technology jump, but from SB to IB, a minor jump. not worth the upgrade, unless you have the money to burn of course.... however if your current pc is using Pentium D like mine , it is a huge jump......

real world application as in application themselves ? no difference... all application running on SB will run on IB..

the only difference i can think of that affect us is the power consumption....

z77 supports pcie 3.0. to get the benefit pcie 3.0 you must have all of this component : a pcie 3.0 gpu, a motherboard with pcie 3.0 slot , and intel ivy bridge processor. missing any of those, bye bye pcie 3.0 benefit...

bought i5-3450 for rm605 from idealtech last week. now seeing it rm575 at c-zone pricelist.. well what to do, take it positively, i didnt have to drive to lowyat, just went pandan indah.. lol

yup ASUS sure has a lot..mine is P8Z77-V LX

you need it water-cooled bro... hehe.. or is it already ?

Added on May 11, 2012, 3:16 pmin theory yes, but you need liquid nitrogen/CO2 cooling for that i believe...

emm.. perhaps it is their way of saying "hey, we won't stop you from overclocking, but if you do it you will suffer heat issue. if you want higher clock processors we have them here (hands showing ivy variants)"

... anyway are those heat issues so significant they can't be solved with water cooling kit ?

my processor in i5-3450, so obviously not meant for oveclocking. yesterday i did a prime95 stress test (max heat, max load etc) for around 10-15 minutes. the max temperature was stable at 48 degree celcius.... not sure it that's acceptable temperature for full load or not. i was using corsair hydro series h80 by the way...

went to LYP today and saw 2 units of i5-3770K. those who are seeking can try look for them at PC Zone.

oh... umm.. now i not sure.. lol.. but the last number indeed 3770K

yeah..could be it...

haha.. yes..

if you're eyeing the -V LX mobo from Asus, might as well get the Z77 chip version.... also cost rm430... P8Z77-V LX.. i'm using it...

emm.. perhaps i should make a thread called "All about CPU - Intel, AMD, Motorola, Cyrix (opps Cyrix died already)" so that we can discuss microprocessors generally....

most probably at the same time as the international launch which is most probably at end of this year iirc...
