***Official Ivybridge Overclock Thread***

I managed to get 4.8GHz with temps maxing out under 90 degrees "stable" for 20 minutes. It won't be my 24/7 clock, but it is nice to see what this chip is capable of. I've heard that these chips are more resilient than SB and can take higher temps better, but I really see no point in the risk of damaging your CPU for next to no real world gains.

I'm tempted to try 4.9GHz but I can see the temps going through the roof. I may give it a try tomorrow, but I'm going to stick to 4.5GHz @ <60 degrees for now.

Is it watercooled? Temps, volts etc? Thanks

watercooled, temps high 60's to mid 70's v 1.45 @ 5 did hit 5.3 but messed up my settings when saving a 5ghz profile and it took for ever and a day to get it right could not be bothered doing it all again

u ever seen how many settings on this asus board

seen some sandybridges jump 15-20c going from 4.7 - 5ghz and considering ivy bridge is a die shrink think the temps are pretty good
 
Had a little play last night. Using the TurboV utility that's included in AI Suite II I had my i7-3770K stable at 4.4GHz in Prime 95. Ran it for 10 mins - temps rose to 60c but no further. Using a Gelid Tranquillo cooler.

I was quite please with that result. I reckon I could push it to 4.6 without a problem. Rig went from "almost silent" to "747" though during the test :D
 
Hi,

So I've just bought a system. I have a 3570K, but with only the stock cooler. I'd like to put a modest overclock on it.

What I need to do is?

1. Increase the multiplier an increment
2. Stress test to see if I'm stable (large prime?)
3. If I become unstable, increase the VCore
4. Repeat whilst ensuring Max Temp does not exceed 80*C?

Does that seem right?

Thanks :D

Yep, pretty much spot on. Maybe change the load line calibration settings to turbo or similar on your mobo too
 
Could we have to OP updated with everyone's OC's please? I'd like to get an average from the different chips and also what people can push theirs to. Still torn between this and SB.
 
Ok, great. From my understanding upping LLC will reduce my vdroop. Giving me a more consistent voltage?

Yes, less drop under load. Good luck and have fun overclocking, I'm currently priming 4.6ghz, think this or maybe slightly above i.e. 4.7/4.8 will be my 24/7 OC, temps don't go above 75c
 
Could there be any differences from different batches perhaps? Are all the 3570K of the same spec at the moment, SR0PM? Also says 95W on the box, thought these were meant to be 77W?
 
3570K At 5.2ghz now 24/7 RAM at 2800mhz 11-13-13-23 1T. Prime stable, AIDA stable and Linx stable on ASUS MVG. Voltages 1.455cpu, 1.2 VCCSA, 1.275 VCCIO, PLL 1.7.
 
Whenever I read that ... In my mind I keep thinking " Chip defies the laws of Physics ! "

Obviously as others have noted... the IB doesn't dissipate the heat as well as sandy bridge, even with the lower TDP
