i5 3570K quick test.

[stulid]

kuhler920.

nearly at one hour mark,

maximum, 66,72,71,65

 

[stulid]

Im correct in understand that the kuhler performs just a bit better than high end air cooling correct? I say a bit I mean like 10-20% cooler kind of idea?

high end air coolers,

NH-D14
silverarrow
Phanteks
Alphafohn K2

will always be better than a closed loop water cooler, a Corsair H100 does get close though.

 

[stulid]

Ah so the Phanteks/K2 out does closed loop water cooling?

yes.

closed loop are useful for tall ram(which I have) or a neat look inside the case, as there's not 2kg of metal swallowing up the space.

 

[stulid]

1hr 6min and all still fine.

 

[stulid]

looks like I might have 4.7ghz sorted

similar temps to 4.6, just needed more vcore again to stop prime95 crashing.

 

[stulid]

nope, I might have been a bit early to say the temps were similar, I'm in the low 70's

30mins of prime so far, 65,73,72,67

the maximum s are higher, 68,77,75,70

 

[stulid]

one of the cores has touched 78.

vcore in CPU-Z reading 1.392

coming upto one hour prime95

 

[stulid]

Unless I have done something wrong with the 2500K score, then the above is correct.

The 2500K was when it was on a GA-Z68XP-UD4, the 3570K is on a UD5H.

 

[stulid]

Holy moly, the temps are shocking with Intel burntest. I wont be doing that again.

 

[stulid]

I got 4.5Ghz, 4.6Ghz+4.7Ghz Prime95 stable (well 1hr+ as I'm impatience)

 

[stulid]

What temps did you get ?

Starts with an 8, sure i saw a 9 in there somewhere too

 

[stulid]

No wonder you stopped it. so best to stay with my 2600k @ 4.8ghz ?

Yep, Think I will leave my 4.5Ghz as the 24/7 setting.

 

[stulid]

If you are upgrading from something old (Core Duo, Athlon X2, X4, etc) then its silly not to jump on the Ivybridge bandwagon if the price isnt bad.

If you have a 2500K/2600K already, dont bother.

If the 2500K/2600K get back to the price they were last summer (2500K@£155) then get one of those.

 

[stulid]

Slight improvement in Cinebench compared to post#88

 

[stulid]

Stulid, I have the same chip running at 4.6Ghz at the same vcore. But my temps are hitting 85C. What case, cpu cooler and fans are you using? I'm hoping if I replicate your setup I can drop my temps further.

No case, using a test bench.

Cooler is a Antec Kuhler920.

 

[stulid]

Stulid mate - I ordered a 3770k its coming tomorrow...... what have I done

It will be ok, just dont go crazy with the Vcore etc, I think mine is just a poor one and needs a bit of extra Vcore luv'in.

 

[stulid]

thanks for all your work stulid ...

Cheers.

 

[stulid]

Its not hot, thats average.

You've read this thread and the overclocking thread and online reviews to know that these chips are toasty and 90c+ isnt unheard off

But do run Prime95 for longer than a minute..

 

[stulid]

I can do it now if you want?

So a straight 3.6GHz, no Turboboost or anything like that?

 

[stulid]

Ok, give me a sec.
