if it's not the internal temp issues IB is a perfect chip for OCer.
btw, mind to share what board, RAM & cooler are you using?

LOL later bro, later after i finished playing
So i will get 2pcs of retail 3770K tomorrow.
Cant wait to torture these bad a$$es

From various sources i observed
3770K vs 3570K
Generally at the same clock 3770K needs vcore 0.1v less than 3570K
Somemore 3770K comes with HT.

Eg:

3570K @ 4.5GHz 4C/4T needs 1.3v
3770K @ 4.5GHz 4C/8T needs just 1.2V

Now i only dont know at this clock which one generates less heat? Theorethically HT is hotter.

unfortunately i don't have any air cooler to try.
why not you go grab one & let us know?

Woot damn nice chip like kunta's 3770K
Bye bye my 3570K

Will do with a WTS thread

of course 3770K

3770K is better binned than 3570K.

By rights i should get the retail 3770K today. All KL based LYN resellers/retailers i asked all 3770K are fully booked & cannot allocate stock for me

Swisspac BJ complex listed 3770K in their price list but no ready stock & pricey.

Asus's BIOS is the best for OC with better support.

IB's IMC is awesome for mem OC.

Team Xtreem 2600C10 @ 2800 11-13-13-28-1T



with older bios 074

so far the highest BCLK i've seen is 110MHz.
Depends on chip & mobo, but IB & SB is not suitable for BCLK clocking due because it's tied with PCIe frequency. SB-E & IB-E for BCLK OC.

IB is born hot. 67C on OC is considered as very low already. Max is 105C. You would only start to worry when the temp is hitting 90C. IB will not degrade like SB.

unfortunate my 3770K shipment has been delayed. Latest ETA should be today. Well let's have a pop corn while waiting lol. Another stuff i'm waiting is Asus 680 DCU2 TOP as well as the yet-to-be-released Maximus V Formula. so expect some 3D benchies to be delayed a lil bit.

finally u got them bro... Pls share whether all units have the same OCbility.

OCbility for sure Asus is top atm, especially with their mATX ROG MVG.
RAM lovers would love these mem profiles.



Basically you could just play with any RAM powered by any IC, it's an awesome board man.


No, my MVG boots very2 fast. Press POWER button & wait for 7 seconds then straightaway can use PC.


* taken on Intel X18-M G2 160GB SATA2

but like any other mobo, it will boot slower when you turn on raid, 3rd party SATA ports, etc.
All these extra features have bootrom that you could disable or enable in the BIOS.

No you can't & mobile CPU is not meant to OC or you will end up toasting your chip.
On Alienware laptops MIGHT be possible, like kelvin_hata OCed his mighty Alienware lappy powered by i7 2920XM (SB though)

Welcome to IB club & congratz on stability

All offset voltage does is change the voltage under load. So, if your stock voltage is 1.30v and you offset it +0.05v, you will get 1.35v under load. It allows your computer to idle at a very low voltage. Basically the offset is how much voltage you want to add to your CPU under load.

Manual = voltage is always that unless affected by load line calibration LLC.
Offset = whatever the Intel set VID voltage is + your offset

So if your VID for 1.6GHz is 0.900v, with +0.050 offset you will make it 0.950v
VID at 2.5GHz is 0.950v, you will make it 1.000v
VID at 3.2GHz is 1.050v, you will make it 1.100v
VID at 3.7GHz is 1.100v, you will make it 1.15v
etc....

You might wanna go through this guide completely written for offset clockings:
Overclocking Using Offset Mode for CPU Core Voltage

btw, I always use manual OC.

From 4.3 to 4.5 if you didnt change anything else other than multiplier increment then just bump up vcore until stable/pass.
For 4.6 maybe you should try enabling the Internal CPU PLL overvoltage, if your mobo has these bios setting.

Sorry to hear that's a big damage 3-in-1 gone
next time protect them with Belkin surge protector bro, can claim compensation
if u're willing to let go the 3770K tomoro let me know, but price < RM1k lah
