Let me start it first

Recently bought myself a 3570K, Asus Maximus V Gene (M5G), as well as Team Extreem 2600MHz C10 4X4GB


Put them on Dimastech EasyDual v2.5 Benchtable


Temporarily cooled by cheapo XSPC RASA 750 RS240 + Arqtik DD TEC block


So without wasting time I run a short LinX on Win7 x64 SP1 with the TEC dialed to the max at ambient 33C.
Everything is on stock clocks with turbo ON.

Running at default speed and cooled by tec block?
The temperature seems pretty high.

so its true dat ivy produce a lot of heat when oc?

Clocking a 3570k here. It's very hot.

In a 21C ambient room
-2500k, 1.48Vcore @ 4.7ghz with 18C to TJ Max
-3570k, 1.45Vcore @ 4.6ghz with 0 to TJ Max (yup, too much for the same cooler to handle)

CPUID Mem TweakIt- ROG 1.01.6

http://www.mediafire.com/?enyauvt2fe75v1n

-X79 series
-Ivy Brigde

yupe, that's pretty hot for me.
Hope things get better when i get my full custom wc kit later.

It is true.

Another proof here that IB is very hot. Expecting 3770K to be hotter.

Thanks stasio!

That's the only test i did yesterday I was too tired in my chemical lab the drainage system was stuck with spirulina & chlorophyll fibers

Removing the absolute CRAP thermal packaging on the ivy bridge cpu AKA IHS

Item to be ready:-
1. pen knife
2. Screw drivers
3. sponge
4. Scissors
5. Double sided tape (thin)
6 Thermal grease


Warning... Do it at your own risk, It will caused you bleeding , processor die , warranty void and etc etc
We shall NOT respond to any of it. So, if anything happen to you, call 911 and ask for help or cry to your mummy

Step 1.Prepare a pen knife and a box set screws drivers, of cos the processor that u wanted to kill too



Step 2. Choose the bottom side of the processor cover, gently using the pen knife to force into it. (be careful, your processor is virgin, i not wish to see blood)


Once successfully cut into the processor cover, use the most thin (1.4mm) flat-bladed screwdriver, and force into it too.


Once done the step 2, go out take a smoke or maybe can pray to your believed god, wish you all the best
Step 3. Please follow the arrow ya. [BLUE----> RED----> Yellow
P/S:
- make sure your hand dun shaking
- make sure the pen knife is very sharp
- make sure dun put too deep into the processor (i means pen knife)
- make sure dun bleeding


tadaaa...


Now, let see what the h3ll intel giving


Step 4. Clean all left over glue in the IHS and processor surface. Use alcohol cleaner to clear cheeeeeeeepor intel original thermal grease


Step 5. Prepare Scissors, Double sided tape (thin), Thermal grease


Step 6. Put some thermal grease on the processor die and put back the IHS (without double sided tape) and open back again to make sure the processor die fully cover with thermal grease.


Step 7. now only double sided tape turn.


Step 8. Press hardly on the IHS and make sure the bottom of the processor protect by sponge.


Done and now.. pray hardly that the processor able to wake up!!!

Whatsapp me bossy

4.5ghz @ 1.395 with 17C to TJ Max. 8 hours stable.

Edit #1: Cooler Master 212 Evo + 2 X Scythe Gentle Typhoon cannot handle 1.45V (under load 1.46) @ 21C ambient. At 1.44 there is till over 10C+ before hitting TJ Max. It seems like once you go pass 1.45 it cooks up real quickly.

Edit #2: 4.7ghz not possible no matter what settings with the Asus P8Z77-M (RM300+ mobo) maybe with serious cooling and higher vcore it might work fine but it has hit the wall

Edit #3: 4.6ghz stable for 3 hours now. @ 9C-15C to TJ MAX.

Some thought about the temperature:

This post has been edited by CyntrixTech: Apr 20 2012, 04:51 PM

the core i5 3570k stock vcore as low as 1.160v?
but full load already reach 75'c?

Aside from the easily hot chip, the 3570k doesn't come with HT as well? even though we can only see the purpose of HT in 3dmark but it feels good to have it imo .

3570k doesn't have HT. It's 2500k's replacement. The cpu cannot possibly be 90-100C under load. While I couldn't place the sensor probe under the CPU now to check it, the temperature is showing as 33C with the sensor under the heatpipe of the 212 Evo.

The air coming out of the cooler also doesn't seem to be anywhere near as hot as the air blown out of a 7970 at 60-70C.

I believe the motherboards need a bios update to reflect the proper CPU temperature, something must be wrong somewhere.

-P

Totally agreed with you. It is not hot at all when i touch my rad & TEC block.
TEC controller still showing 33C during LinX.
Don't know what's happening but i think we will wait for explanation from Intel or mobo manufacturer
Could be false sensor readings, bad IHS contact, etc...

3570K @ 4.5GHz
M5G
Team 2600C10 2x4GB @ 2666

sorry noob here
how to know that processor and motherboard is ivy bridge ??

The first rig we built can do 4.6ghz @ 1.44V. Anything more than that is a fail. Since it can't take more vcore, we'd call it a day at this speed.

Next in line:




This time we used 212's bigger brother. The tower is really thick so we used 2 x GT 1850. The static pressure is required to pierce through the thick walls.

Will be OCing it tomorrow

Added on April 21, 2012, 9:30 amNoticed that CPU-Z shows 1.2V but mobo shows 1.44V? Something is just wrong and a bios update must be coming

This post has been edited by CyntrixTech: Apr 21 2012, 09:30 AM

About the CPU-Z voltage reading, I think it is the CPU-Z problem instead of the mobo bios.
Newer version CPU-Z might be able to pick up the right voltage.

ok noticed that bios is set to 130c max

Yup.

@Kevin,
Go cook your CPU @ 120C Don't dare to try it on customer's PC Btw, is this running on the XSPC RS240 or RX240?

XSPC stuck in custom, going for a dual 355 setup with 2 x RX360 just to cool the CPU (extreme overkill, but whatever)

This post has been edited by CyntrixTech: Apr 21 2012, 10:48 AM

It's the RS240 bought from you last year.
New EK HF+jetplate6, D5+EK top, 2x RX360, Bits res 250, Primoflex tubing, comp fittings from APES; as well as 10x +2 ScytheGT from you Mr.P
All reached me safely yesterday.

Use win7 x64 SP1 + prime95 x64 27.1 w/ AVX for max torture LOL

i've updated the first post, suggestions are welcomed for thread improvement

This post has been edited by owikh84: Apr 21 2012, 11:03 AM

So you are gonna use 2 x RX360 + 1 x RX240 on the bench? Thought I was overkill (had to, it'd be a showcase bench table) but surely you are still the king

I am going 2 x 355 with XSPC dual top instead of the D5.

This post has been edited by CyntrixTech: Apr 21 2012, 11:06 AM

2x RX360 only. It is considered as overkill already for CPU-only loop.
Will grab some good GTX680s + wb & put them in the same loop later, later bro...
I go with D5 coz i got old EK top already.

2x 355 looks overkill for 2x RX360
my SB-E rig is powered by 2x D5 dual top paired with 2x RX480 can make fountain inside 250 res.

My v4 bench setup will consist of the following:

-RX 360 x 2, 6 x GT (another alternative is 2 x EX360 x 12X GT...)
-2 x 355
-1 x XSPC Laing Dual Top - Acrylic (hope it doesn't crack and leak, common issue)
-XSPC 5.25" dual bay res
-Lamptron FC9 Fan controller
-Enzotech Silver fittings, 5/8", 3/8" (got sick of 1/2", too difficult to manage)
-XSPC Raystorm / EK Supreme HF (waiting for PPTEK to order in an Acrylic top for me)

When Alphacool comes in, the res will be replaced by this:

This is being tested now:


The OC wall on Air is 4.5ghz with the CoolerMaster 212 Evo + F12 x 2. 4.6-4.7ghz with Gentle Typhoons. IB is definitely too hot for most Air cooler to handle now.

EDIT #1: Cannot handle 4.5ghz heatload. Casing traps too much heat

EDIT #2: 13-15C headroom with 4.4ghz @ 1.4V

okay thanks for telling
but I can't find in intel website
can provide the link ?
how about laptop ?? any idea ?

This post has been edited by XeactorZ: Apr 21 2012, 03:58 PM

how about on water? how high can ivy 3570k go?

i think after officially launch,
then the intel site only have them.
laptop should be core i 3000m series.

for mainboard, look for LGA1155 socket,
and those H77, Z75, Z77 chipset.
http://my.asus.com/Motherboards/#Intel_Socket_1155

thanks for the link
any news when they release for desktop and laptop ?
or already release, sorry really noob here
can't tahan to wait the ivy bridge release to buy either desktop or laptop ><

Only Kevin is on water now. Maybe on Tuesday we will get our water cooling bench ready for some testing.

Maybe this:

Hi all... Can someone recommend me stable voltage setting. I just want to OC to 4.5ghz only. I5 3570k and im using asrock z68.

good.. will stick to this thread =D

o.O, anyway thanks for the link
and I got the time to wait for it haha

At least two of the processors we tested required 1.44Vcore for 4.5ghz. The temperature rapidly rises as soon as you hit over 1.4V. At 1.4V, it is still very manageable but you can only clock it at 4.3ghz

4.5GHz @ 1.3V +- 0.05V is possible to pass at least 2 hours or more of Prime95. Don't take it as a 100% guarantee as different chips in different batches will demand different amount of volts to be stable. 4.5Ghz is a good range as the volts needed for 4.6GHz or more is going to be a lot, temps increase a lot as well.

Ive tried 4.5ghz at 1.38v just now.. And after bout 45min running on prime95 the max temp was 91c. Pretty high isit. So scared.

ok. Will try ur setup after dis. Hehe


P/s: me just using h50 push pull

91C is too high, or at least too high by my standards. 1.3V should be a sweet spot, anything less you'll risk some stability. H50 isn't enough. You should get something like a H100 or air coolers like the Noctua NH-D14 or similar.

3770k at original setting @ WC set

Fresh windows just download diabo3 nia... lol

What your WC setup? Will be glad if you OC it to 4.5Ghz and share the temp

very stupid wc setup. hahaha

use last time corsair coolwater but modify to new lga 1155 block nia.

hi, i have the i5 3570k, and also M5G mobo, but im using Corsair Vengeance high profile, currently still using stock CPU cooler fan.

the first time I boot into the windows, i got BSOD, after number of attempts and finally found out the problem is Turbo Mode, initially it was set to ON by default and technician didn't do the right BIOS setting for me. It was in vcore 1.33v with stock speed. I just updated my BIOS, now everything is set to Auto, using the Turbo Mode clocked @3.8Ghz. Is it safe to put all in Auto? I do not much about the vcore, so I let it be Auto.
Which shop in lowyat I buy Prolimatech Genesis CPU cooler fan? Is it possible for me to install Noctua NH-D14 or Noctua NH-C14 ?

This post has been edited by flyingfox: Apr 23 2012, 11:01 PM

maybe you got a bad 3570K which loves voltage so much so i suspect the BSOD (please check post #1) is due to insufficient vCore when the turbo clock kicks in your CPU needed more voltage. my stock clocked 3570K on M5G is pretty smooth with the default settings & latest bios.

Turbo frequency for 3570K is up to 3.8GHz & one core only. Turbo can be overridden by setting the multiplier manually.
CPU level up is a feature offered by Asus boards for auto OC sometimes is not as reliable as desired. Manual OC is always the best although more work to do than just let bios OC for you.

Added on April 23, 2012, 11:04 pmvery nice bro, now toast it with LinX & see.
I don't think this 3770K will survive on my RASA kit.

This post has been edited by owikh84: Apr 23 2012, 11:04 PM

Haha... But the stupid asus p8p67 cant unlock the core la...



Cyntrix:- sure 5 unit? Lol

Peanuts. You don't want to know how many 3570K we have here

Is there any BIG different for 16+8(Asrock fatality z77) and 8+4(Asrock Extreme 4 z77)? Both can OC perfectly right.

More power phases do not guarantee better performance and does not mean better OC. Generally, more phases should make for smoother voltage output, but it is only one of several factors in the design of the CPU voltage regulator. Power phasing is more of an energy management feature than an OC feature. It will really only feed the CPU with as much energy as it needs, and the other power phases get turned off. The Fatality PROFESSIONAL is usually ASRock's flagship mobo and this is the model you should get.

Any good recommendation of CPU air cooler for mobo M5G and high profile vengeance ram ?? I'm thinking of these Prolimatech Genesis, Noctua NH-D14 and Noctua NH-C14 ? For the Noctua, some said can't fit, some said can fit. Which 1 is the best among of the 3 above?

M5G + Noctua NH-D14

Performance wise D14 > C14 > Genesis

Is the socket 1155 distance to the first RAM slot standard across all mobo?

If it is not standard, can u measure the distance between first screw mounting hole(right most) to first RAM slot(left most).

wanna see what cooler can fit the corsair vengeance high profile type RAM on P67 sabertooth.

Anyone here got Noctua NH-C14 with corsair vengeance tall/high profile version? can fit the buttom fan with high profile corsair vengeance RAM? top down cooler might work wonder on sabertooth thermal armor tho.

looks cool~!!

But mine is High profile Vengeance, I dont think can screw out the top fin like Dominator. :'(

Just noticed that the RAM heatsink is that tall, confirmed not fit then.

Now I have 2 options, 1st is buy a new set of LP Ram and get D14 and 2nd is buy Corsair H100.
Both about the same price RM500++, which 1 is better ?

I read somewhere on the internet about the H100, he get worse result than a Hyper 212, so strange.

RM500, rasa kit will give u better result

hmmm.... i'm totally new to water cooling kit, is this Rasa kit maintenance free like H100? And which model of rasa kit is around RM500 ? Which shop in lowyat can i get ?

EDIT: I'm using 650W PSU btw, is it sufficient to use a watercooling kit or D14 ?

YES...most disappointed

fixed...

I7 3770K
MSI Z77A-GD65
Kingston HyperX T1 2250MHz
Xigmatek Gaia


Yes i know stupid cooler and havent clock ram yet.

they are similar in general.

So far my maintenance = upgrade. lolx.

hi guys,
im going to buy i5 3570k and Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
im not a hard overclockers, but thinking giving its a mild oc..
and i saw many ppl say this proc giving too much heat..heat an issue to me since my pc will produce lots of heat to my room since i dun have air conditioner..
should i buy this proc or just go for i5 2500k?

need help, when will those laptop got ivy bridge on laptop?

nice try but win7 SP1 + Latest LinX will surely required A LOT LOT more voltage & generate A LOT LOT more heat.

Easy decision. 3570K is a better buy than 2500K.
IB can also take high core temps and not degrade like SB, it can also do 4.5ghz on air, just depends on your CPU.
IB @ 4.5GHz is enough to beat SB 4.9GHz. Most SB could only achieve 4.7GHz max on aircooling.
However the high temp you see doesn't mean the heat coming off of it is high. The cooler isn't that hot when touch with hands.
TJmax for IB is alot higher than what SB offered.

Quad core based mobile IB should be available start from 29/4
Followed by Dual core in June.

Thank you very much..
thinking to buy new rig this week..can suggest me under RM 200 aircooling hsf that good enough to do its mild oc on this proc?
newbie here

not a fan of intel so i seldom use linx.
will google for the latest version of linx. currently using linx version u provide on the first page

this is the one
Well done kunta. Nice MSI's cherry picked chip you got there with that vcore it is air cooled friendly. I think 5GHz is possible on water.

Added on April 25, 2012, 12:30 pmOhh the LinX posted in the post #1 is the latest version coded with AVX.

for some reasons, i believe this one is not cherry pick. maybe just lucky..or ES maybe
for some reason i think 3770K will behave like this.not sure tho.

checked using DMM, the voltage is 1.141v.

Tried under water, dont think its possible for daily usage. above 4.6ghz the vcore is insane already.
but frankly i never try above 4.7ghz..

Hello everyone!

Thinking about getting a 3570k as well.

I'll be using a Corsair H100 with Scythe Gentle Typhoons 1450rpm in push only config.

Do you guys think I can hit 4.5 GHz with this cooling?
And will it be safe for 24/7 use?

a Noctua nh-d14 will be more than enough if not better than the Corsair h100 in terms of price and performance for hitting a 4.5ghz on IB.

I got the H100 for free at work.
Don't look a gift horse into it's mouth, or however the saying goes

The H100 is very close to the performance of the Noctua though right?
Or is the difference that big?
