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.

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

Whatsapp me bossy

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

ok noticed that bios is set to 130c max

3570K @ 4.7GHz
Team 2600C10 2x4GB @ 2666 10-12-12

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

EK Supreme HF jetplate6
2x RX360 + 12x GT 1850rpm
D5 + EK Top
EK X2 250 res

I think so bro i look again at the AI reading it's only 40C. Something wrong with RealTemp and i will record with other temp monitoring soft later tonight

LOL i also kena sudden shock in the morning. Took a chill pill trying to calm myself to ignore the readings as my fingers still feel cool when touching both the rads, CPU block, tubing as well as the res. there was no hot air dissipated out of the rads. So i found:
