I've put it on sale in our GS pls check it out.

Update: there's a false reading on the RealTemp as posted above the lowest core temp should be 0C minimum because by default Realtemp reported 91C as TJmax as opposed to original spec which is 105C.

Looks more or less same as others. Ambient/room temp also will affect the core temp.

IB is hot due to bad TIM used between the IHS and the die so heat dessipation is not as efficient and effective as it should be.

Depends on what vcore it consumes every chip is different. My dud 3570K @ 4.5GHz hit 90C+ under water powered by two triple rads. That was when stressed with AVX-enabled LinX on win7 SP1. For non stress 24/7 4.6GHz was fine without throttling (speed reduction when reaching TJmax of 105C).

Btw, I heard Maximus V Formula (Thunderbolt and non TB edition) is supposed to hit our market within these few days i saw some resellers already put it in their price list. Extreme model - no ETA yet

almost equal performance...

same here... for some reason GFLops for 3770K is lower than 2600K. 80+ vs 100+

Added. I got nice RAMs for sale

better score

depends on you whether want to save TNB bill or not but I usually turn EIST off.
I also noticed that you're using single channel RAM (1 stick) this will draw back the performance of your system.
grab another stick for dual channel to double up the memory bandwidth.

Very nice. Now try find the lowest stable vcore.
I'm not sure about the Gflops on single channel RAM but my dual channel GFlops is the same as yours. Dont know whether LinX is buggy or not the GFlops looks kinda low. By rights should be 100+. Hmm.

Same IC like my Team Xtreem 2600C10 kit
3k kit should be the highest bin of this IC rated @ 1.65v
Expect to cost me a kidney.

well i have run again the LinX @ 2600
looks like i got 100+ as opposed to 1600 @ 80+



ambient: 36C Butterworth non airconded room

vcore bios set 1.23v LLC high (50%)

here's my custom blend Prime95 AVX

IB will not degrade at all like what happened to SB.
LLC high is actually the best tolerance of vdroop as the vcore is not fluctuate too much like other level of LLC.

Just to share the so-called golden 3770K from an XS forumer

alex_tpc | Core i7 3770K [4C 8T] @ 5049.9MHz | 1.312v | ASUS Maximus IV Extreme | Water | L215B620



5.05GHz with just 1.312v yo
i got exactly the same batch but mine needs at least 1.57v for 5GHz

I think the OCN thread has explained enough the GSOD issue so if still persist then that sounds like a card problem. Send it for RMA.
i5 3450 has a locked multiplier with turbo up to 3.9 only hence at such a low clock it should run fine at stock vcore.
OC in BIOS settings. You're asking the wrong person about safe voltage - check out first post for basic notes.

Just to share performance of i5 3550 (4C/4T) @ stock clock/cooler on my office rig the HP H8-1285D.

3450
You can set turbo multiplier up to 39x althou Intel specs is 35x
Max BCLK depends on CPU & mobo
Hwbot record for 3450 is 4.2GHz

3770K @ 4.6GHz (4C/8T)
Asus MVG
Team Xtreem 2600C10 @ 2600 10-12-12-28-1T
Cooled with Arqtik Quad TEC
Ambient 35C



4.7GHz


to go higher i must run in an airconded room

Every chip is different. Tried 4GHz @ auto vcore stable? If not then raise it, not stable raise it until stable so I guess that's an easy job.

Pls proceed to the appropriate thread for SB aka 2500K/2600K/2700K.

He is using a 3570K, which is totally different from your CPU the 2500K; although the same mobo.
Now you need to increase the vcore until you get away from the BSOD.

Added on July 3, 2012, 10:37 amOr set vcore to 1.3v, then test with LinX/Prime95/3DM Vantage CPU test
If stable then try lower vcore like 1.29v, 1.27v and so on until you get the lowest vcore stable at that speed
Good luck!

Yo bro... 5GHz 2c2T lowest vcore i tried was 1.38v to complete 32m. 5GHz 4c8t is no go on 3D. Cooling limit & it loves voltage.

Gonna get another 2pcs of 3770K & MVF tommorow hopefully better than the current chip.
