i5 3570K quick test.

By the way, thanks for posting these results. Nice to know that someone is running the retail chip with an affordable cooler and posting genuine results.
 
Not too bad by all means, would have been nice to see 1.25v at 4.5 but if it ain't happening it ain't happening, but on the plus side it seems to be coping very well temp wise at 1.3v.

Do you use intel burn test?

I find it can find a unstable clock much faster than Prime95 can and is usually a bit more intensive so can help max the temps at a full load.
 
Not used burntest, and to be honest I need to flash the BIOS to the latest version (current got F5 on it) and have to crack on with a few other things to do with this board, will be revisiting my OC and hoping to tweak it properly to maybe reduce the Vcore one notch or two etc.

Also want more than 4.5Ghz :D
 
Been reading the thread, nice to see your average overclockers results I guess. Looking foward to seeing the OC in more detail.

Thanks for the effort your putting in stulid, im sure a lot of people will appreciate it.

Any chance of a cinebench run at 4.5, cheers.

Well I find with intel burn test that a 20x times run at max stress usually results in a pretty stable machine (and it's quick, hour or two, depends on ram), and for quick testing a 5 run will show a decent amount of stability and only probably minutes dependent on how much ram you use.
 
I can't remember where I saw it yesterday but it advised not to use IBT on Ivybridge, sends temperatures seriously high more than LinX does.
 
Looking good, i'm really thinking about getting one of these. Now all you need to do is make an offering to the Gods of processors and push it to the max. 5Ghz + or die trying.

Well I'll be using it, Prime95 has failed on me after 15 hours which is too long to wait for testing, IBT is much quicker and to be fair it is only pushing the cpu to the max which there should be nothing wrong with doing that, if the IB cannot handle IBT that's say's quite a lot about the chip.
 
The reviewer said that if you were pushing for high clocks you would be better off avoiding IBT because it would get the chip hotter than other stress tests - and push it beyond normal, realistic use. However, the review was implying that such overclocks would be on or possibly over the edge if you were forced to do this.

I like to stress test within reason, a couple of hours Prime stable for me is enough, I have never had any issues with my PC being stable after this and I doubt I do anything that ever pushes the PC as much either.

If Intel burn test is tougher and quicker than I would chose that everytime - if temps were an issue then I would back of the OC.

Thanks for this Stulid. Now we just need someone with a 3770K to compare OC ability...
 
How do I go about setting the BCLK to exactly 100. Tried disabling spread spectrum and setting it manually but it always fluctuates to like 100.03. I've heard getting it to exactly 100.00mhz may fix my slow USB 3.0 speeds on this board.
