Hey all,

Just interested to see whether anyone has actually sent their ivybridge cpu back and gone sandybridge instead?

Cheers :)
 
I think she's going back mate.

Thats if the 28 day satisfaction guarantee is worth the pixels its displayed in!
 
I just went straight with SB when I could have gone IB, but was put off by the reports of high temps, plus I managed to save £30

Tbh, you will only be missing high temps and pci-e3 if you did.
 
To be honest i think every Ivy Bridge owner should be allowed to send there cpu back if they want to as the temp problem could get worse once the TIM has dried out.

Nothing currently saturates pciex 2 does it?
 
How high are the chances of me getting a poor sandybridge cpu compared to this one?

This seemed prime stable but it appears to need a lot more voltage to get it past 1 hour which puts temps up towards 80 degrees at 4.6!

Edit : The reason I ask is my friends 2700k isn't a particularly good clocking chip.
