BrianB all depends. If you plan to take your Ivy chip apart and change thermal compound inside and oc it like Sandy. GO 4 it but you lose warranty :/
Ivy is better if you dont need or plan to go over 4.3-4.4 ghz. You can get there on 20f cooler.

Not sure if it makes a difference now or not.
I orderd my Intel Core i5-3570K from OcUk and it didn't come with anything other then the chip this one
So if your getting it from Ocuk, make sure you buy yourself a CPU cooler fan and of course some thermal paste.
^^ just incase you thought it comes with stock equipment (like they used too back in duel core times lol)

*facepalm*
They do come with stock equipment, 3 yr warranty etc if you buy the retail chip..
The OEM is just the chip.

some people like myself havn't upgrades for a while, and didn't/don't know,... thus the post. i ordered mine with it's own stuff anyway so i didn't care either way..
I added it in case this person who hadn't upgraded for a while didn't know...
Not to complain or point fingers... it was mean't as a helpful tip aka "just in-case you didn't know" kind of comment..

I think what it comes down to is what cooling you have, If you can keep the 3570k cool then you might as well go for the 3570K, If you don't have decent cooling i guess you'll get a better overclock from te 2500K, Eitherway you will still have a lot of power and i think the difference is negligible really.

I'm currently considering these chips for a new build... the thing that really gets me about Ivy is that if Intel didn't skimp on the heat dissipation design then it would be hands down a better chip, with the new features that it brings AND as overclockable as SB. I'll probably go Ivy anyway, but it still annoys me.

If you get a poor clocker you're going to struggle to hit 4.5 Ghz without pumping a large amount of volts through it at which point the temps become insane.
I can bench my 3770k at 4.7 Ghz but it's just mental how hot it gets.
Getting 31-35 idle and 55-65 load with akasa venom with two fans on cooler.will probs go higher on BF3 but not checked that yet.

I was wondering this same thing the other day?
What is the opinion on the 3570K vs the 3770K is there any point considering all im going to be doing is gaming and its going to be plonked along side a gtx570?

I must have got lucky, easily got my 3750K to 4600 on 1.25v, temps hit about 74 in Prime before levelling out. Didn't try any higher, undoubtedly will one rainy day.
Dropped it to 4500 and stuck the voltage to 1.2v, completely stable and didn't go past 70 degrees running Prime95 small fft for a couple of hours.
I'm yet to see any proof the extra heat is down to the construction/lack of solder, and not just smaller dies getting hotter. Nearly 50% higher density CPU core, the efficiency is higher, but not enough to compensate. I guess we'll see with the next lot of Ivys.

I had mine at 1.23V for 4.5GHz, dropped it to 1.15V for 4.4GHz.
If you want to encode to any kind of decent standard you will NEVER use Quicksync - doesn't support 2-pass encoding.
I see no reason not to go IB.
PCI 3.0 support, 10% faster (I believe) clock for clock making a 4.5ghz IB = 4.9ghz SB. It's just a better chip, albeit by a relatively small margin. Plus if what others say is true about the latest SB batch being poor clockers, then definitely go IB.

Don't over egg the pudding; more like an average of 3.7% faster! (4.5 Ivy = 4.66 SB)
If you want to save some money then get the 2500k, you're really not missing out on much. If money is no object then get the 3570k as you will enjoy that feeling of getting the latest and newest equipment.
