Call me old fashioned but can one of you chaps do a super-pi for me ?

No time to install and probably not until the weekend either *weeps*

Damn, that poor silicon, being clocked to within an inch of its life!

Thanks! Damn that's quick.

Heres a Cinebench run:

I've seen some SBs break the 10 points mark, but I'd say they were the exception, not the rule.

Hey all,

Just got my new system up and running. Details below:

• Intel 3570K @ 4.5GHz
• Malaysia, Batch L208B089
• MSI Z77A GD65
• Noctua NH-D14
• 76C (RealTemp)
• 1.300V

Appears to be Prime stable so far (30mins). Temps seen to sit around 70C under full load, with a peak of 76C.

I've been out of the OC game for some time (since the Conroe days) and still trying to get my head around this new Z77 motherboard. Any tips or tricks from other GD65 users?

Cheers,

Matt.

Thank you very much indeed for posting that. Yes it does appear that you have some great cooling in that case - all temps are very low

I usually look at CPUTIN - the delta you've got 33-66 is huge and I think we'll be seeing more of this.

Thanks for posting

That delta is incorrect. For my Asus board, that max figure is always double what the actual maximum has been.

Don't trust CPUTIN max figure in hwmonitor.

Just getting Windows set up now. H100 came on at full fan speed. Dear lord it's loud. Like sitting on a runway as a jet plane takes off. If it has to sit on high to overclock I might not bother!

reddev85 give us cinebench single core score will ya

Here ya go, one thread only.

thanks mate

same score as sandy at 5ghz more or less

 

[AssaTM]

Hmmm, so some people are getting 4.6/4.7ghz at acceptable temps? that would definitely be very nice, i'd like to see how much heat is shaved off under a watercooling loop, even if it's just a few degrees that would be nice at least , but glad to see the chip so far seems to be performing very well, as not everyone was/is running their Sandy chips at 4.9/5ghz at least

I seem to have one very cool core and the rest about normal

 

[reddev85]

I'm actually pretty surprised.

All the reviews made it out to be armageddon for overclocking.

Actually had the chip at 4.8Ghz for a while with temps about 82c - maybe too hot for some peoples liking but I'm fine with it. That was with the H100 fans on full (hovercraft mode).

I backed it down a bit so I didn't go deaf.

My chip does that too running prime. One core will always be about 5c cooler than the rest. I have no idea why that happens

 

[nuttyprot]

Noob question I noticed lot people saying max temps 80. I thought safe temp was 70?

 

[Doop!]

I've been priming mine at 4.5ghz with 1.2v for a couple of hours now with max temps of 67 with none of my fans over 900rpm. That's pretty much what I wanted so I'm happy I went with IB. I was getting a little worried with all the comments about the heat and everything, but that seems perfectly fine to me for a 24/7 overclock. It will even run IBT while only hitting low 70s.

[reddev85]

That was for SB. Ivy has a higher thermal limit. So I'd say anything around 80c is fine.

 

[jeff6475]

max safe temps intel said for ivy is 105

 

[nuttyprot]

Ah well doing my full rebuild on the 25th. As long as I can get 4.5 stable i will be happy.

max safe temps intel said for ivy is 105

dam that seems very high
