Sup folks.
Im currently building a new system.
Its a huge leap from K8 X2 s939 to i5 Z77

so my 3570k and asrock z77-ext4 has arrived.
Since i still have my HR-05sli, do u think its a good idea to put it on my z77?

sup folks
was wondering, is the i5 VID a fixed value?
I do notice that when im using the vcore offset adjustment, at certain multi the VID vcore upped a bit (at 40x it was 1.3, at 41x it became 1.32..).
Currently im setting it it at VID -0.120 in bios
So by that calc, the vcore on cpuz is a lil off (1.32-0.12!=1.16).
I do know that Sin showed that Asrock ext4 n 6 may not show true voltage at cpuz, so my assumption this relates to that. hmm

setup:
i5 3570k on stock cooler
asrock z77ext4
using hd400 as gpu (being cheap here)
enermax noisetaker 375w psu spare unit from my K8 days

yep, im running on stock cooler just to burn in the parts on open bench, ghetto
hopefully the swiftec h220 will be in stock by end of the month, n to get a decent case as well

this i-x series is so different compared to my prev s939 www

>inb4 WTF??!!111

p/s: i wont be joining the 4.5g elites just yet.

thanks bro for clearing that up.
My K8 VID wasnt behaving that way. But maybe it was just due to my old epox mobo.
Oh well.

my current i5 setup is good enuff for my Lightroom/PS edit n Hi10p movie decodes.
I hope my chip wont fail on me en route to 4.5g once my aftermarket cooling arrives

yes
that is a symptom of 1 core has failed the test. look for the instance that print out '... halted'

sigh =__=
Do we have a bad-chip club in here?
My 3570k is terrible, even on water. the volt scales so bad by 4.3G =__=
I was ok w/ 1.16v up to 4.2G, then from there onwards every 100mhz jump needs .06v =__= playing w/ other volts n llc gives me nothing for lower vcore.
Not only that, core#1 n #2 is having 7C higher temp then #0 n #3 on full load =__=. terrible temps at 4.4G
Does using on-chip hd4000 hinders my OC, since i dont have dedicated gpu?
i have always had back luck w/ dud chip since my K7 days

3570k
asrock z77ext4 *i have fan blowing the mosfets
2x4g ripsjaws has been put at loose timing so i can focus on cpu
375w enermax noisetaker *psu seems solid as i monitor the voltage fluctuation and no big ripples. from my k8 days

*my loop consist of 380i, SRI 240 blown by arctic F12 push-pull, D5 pump
