***Official Ivybridge Overclock Thread***

If your using the original stuff on the 620 then i heard thats pretty good and you might not get better temps compared to any other stuff like as5.
 
lol Hank its great and all but if you want to get 4.5 plus Ghz then doing it on a 46 pound cooler instead of a full loop isnt going to come easy....

It is just crap compared to what I am going to use great otherwise.

AND OMG Skeet i watched that video man he just throws the chip around like its a piece of dirt what a absoloute pleb!.

HE SCRATCHES THE DIE WITH HIS NAIL FFS!

It's not if you wipe the thermal compound off and have a go at putting your own on. Can't really blame the cooler if its worse than stock afterwards. No problems here with my 620, stock thermal paste.

Didn't try any higher here. 91 degrees at 4.6 you had didn't you? Hmm.
 
Hmm what do you guys think of around 3-5c raise for 100mhz gain?

I was averaging around 65-71c on 4.5 now I'm always around 68-75c on 4.6Ghz. Should I drop it back down or leave it?
 
Push till it hits 80c i think thats what most ppl do tho make sure your using the right prime95 with avx thing tho as apparently thats the one u need to use.
 
Not had the chance to build my upgrade yet. Due to returning some ram i changed my mind about and got some other ram but went out of stock the day i got it, hopefully they are getting stock today and sending it out to me today. Also pretty sure i will be getting a 570 card as well so will be waiting for that then a 8 pin pci-e cable from corsair or failing that one from somewhere.

Im hoping i can do at least 4.4ghz easily if i get that i would be happy as then its like a sandy at 4.6.

This new build is costing me a lot more than i wanted to. Initially i set out for no more than £250 now its up to £318 if i get the gfx card then there goes another £130.

Just dunno if the 460 would be good enough for the 3570k or not as realistically id like a balanced system and the 570 would do that i feel. If i can sell the gfx card i have for £80 then the new gfx would only cost really £50 which isnt a bad upgrade in that regards tho it depends if my bro wants it as he is getting my old mb cpu and ram and cooler and he would be just using a 7800gs card with it if he didnt want the 460 but i think it would be good if he just got the card too then at least i know he could play most games on med to highish settings.

When I first had my 3570k clocked at 4.4Ghz it was fine with my games and my 1GB Gigabyte 460 GTX and I did not notice any issues at all when I played at 1920x1080.
Changing to a 670 GTX and, unless I ran some benchmarks, not much changed, apart from adding a bit more eye candy to the games settings.

Changing to 2560x1440 and my GTX 670 is now paying for itself.

For me going from a "good" GTX 460 to a 570 would not be much of an upgrade but more of a small incremental difference and I would find it difficult to justify that cost.

BTW - good luck with the memory order - you will be happy with it once it arrives.
