**IVY BRIDGE IN STOCK & AVAILABLE NOW!!**

[The Halk]

Where did you get your info that it overclocks very well as from all that i read it dosent unless using LN2.

What the? LN2 on memory? I'm talking about the Samsung memory there - I suspect I could have been clearer and you're seeing my post out of context.

IB Clocks well if your not pushing past 4.8Ghz on most of the chips tbh. It's a bit less of an enthusiasts chip more of a day to day OC'er.

Selling at Sandybridge current prices as an introductory offer think it lasts until about wedsnday/thursday.

The new ivy processors are listed as 77w. Hasn't it been confirmed that the retail chips are all 95w? Sorry if I've missed something...

Arguably doesn't add much more than SB performance wise and the drop to 22nm should make the chips cheaper to produce.

Thats a good point. Anyone got anything on this?

I've since noticed that the original post in this thread by Gibbo shows 3570 as 77w and 3770 as 95w. On the main website, they're both listed as 77w. Other retailers also have both listed as 77w...

 

[mikeym]

Is this what it boils down to and there aren't two versions of the 3770k?

Intel will note down the 77W versions as 95W. Pretty much the design allows 95W, but 77 Watt or lower is what it'll consume really.

So they are certified as 95w but use 77w?

The move from 77w tdp to 95w had no motive other than to avoid introducing another envelope for OEMs to design for.

Ah I see.

'Samsung make ram now?' ram ordered

They've made ram for a long time but you see it mainly as OEM (much of HP server RAM is Samsung). I seem to remember a long time back they releaased some stupidly overclockable ram - may have been DDR 1 or something.

I emailed oc last week when they will have IvyCPU in a already built PC and they said.

"We will be selling computers with the IvyBridge Processors however we may not sell them immediately (we may need time to perfect the oveclocking of the CPU's before we can put them on the market.)"

How long does it normaly take for them to put on market whats already built up?.

I guess that depends on how long they have to 'fiddle about' with the overclocking and to what level so they can add them to pre built systems / bundles with guaranteed overclocking at a certain level.

Wise man, if you can't afford something it's better to save up for it.

I just ordered the 3570K. Taking Tuesday off to finally get my system up and running. I can't wait!
