Hey all, just installed a 3570K in my G/F's PC and she would like it running at 4.7ghz (she loves the number 7, don't ask, she's previously bought an XP 2700 over the 2800 and the ATi 4870 over the 4890 because of it lol). Anyway back on topic, the on chip GPU will be disabled in the bios which should help with temps, but how easy is it to get these to 4.7 and does it involve a lot of tweaking and fiddling with awkward settings? or is it just set multi to 47, set this vcore, reboot?

As far as cooling goes that "shouldn't" be an issue as her setup is water cooled and is currently getting good temps under Prime95 at stock clocks/volts, however before I try overclocking it the loop will be gaining an additional XSPC EX240 rad so that should be able to counter the extra heat from the overclock I would have thought.
 
You'll need very high voltage and temps will be around 100c under load. Due to the heat transfer issues, water cooling provides little to no benefit over air cooling for Ivybridge.

Are you sure about that? its just most of the stuff I have read has said Ivy sees more of an advantage with water cooling than Sandy due to the IHS and the 22nm process making a focused hot spot. I have also seen many people getting 4.5-5.0ghz with Ivy and water.

The loop I'm planning on using is already keeping the chip under 50 degrees at stock under full synthetic load and the rad I'm planning on adding has double the heat dissipation needed to cool the chip at stock clocks so surely that should be enough to get rid of the heat even running at the volts needed for 4.7ghz. And if heat transfer to the water is an issue that can be overcome by upping the flow rate no? :S
 
The problem with ib is the rubbish paste that intel used between the cores and the cpu's integrated heat spreader shield. The only way to try and sort this is to delid the cpu and replace the paste, (though this voids the warranty). This is why even under high end custom wc, they still run hot.

Oh she saw the i7 3770K lol, but I managed to convince her that ~£100 extra for hyper-threading when nothing she does uses hyper-threading was beyond pointless (Thank god she didn't notice a used 2700K can be picked up for as much as a new 3570K lol)
 
Girl's won't usually notice thing's like heat, overclocking, just instability. My lady friend is completely oblivious to how fast her pc is, as long as it runs Sims 3 she is happy.

Going to try clock at 4.7 now. Wish me luck lol. Temps are 70C on my D14 at 1.28V 4.5GHz.
 
Okay, wasnt stable at 1.350V and system wouldn't even get past bios at 1.360v. Doesn't seem worth it for the temps and voltage trade off. Happy with 4.5GHz.

Get a new gf that likes the number 5, problem solved.
