would be good to see how the new haswells stack up in this benchmark

I think it will be common to see them running at 5GHz, golden chips even higher so... JEALOUS. :(

From the AMA Reddit chat with an Intel Engineer:

As a person who just bought an Ivy-bridged based system, is there anything you can tell me to convince myself to save up for a haswell or broadwell system?

What do you usually do with your system? If you like to overclock, Haswell is worth it (can't tell you why but read the Haswell Anandtech preview very carefully for buried treasure). On-die graphics is improving quite a bit as well. If you're into energy efficiency or even more graphics, Broadwell. I think the tech community will be very pleasantly surprised with Broadwell. But I'm biased, so we'll just going to have to prove it the hard way.

VRM is on-die I think, so that will help a ton with overclocking.

He also said that they have working broadwell etc chips already, and that Haswell is stuff they worked on over a year and a half ago. :eek:
 
Neither of them, Liquid Ultra or Pro gives the best drops. Also Samsung RAM, overclocks to 2400 CL10 I think.

Mine run at 2226 9-11-11-21-1T-88 with tight seconds and thirds. BLK is 104.4.
 
Yeah they used to be 50, got mine for 37 on an offer. :D

Memory has went through the roof recently. I think I just got 2200 9-10-10-21-96-1T v1.65, testing now :)

edit// no real gain over 2226 9-11-11-21-88-1T v1.6. Rather run 2226 anyway.

This is a single threaded application, it's because IvyBridge can run about 10-15% more instructions per clock.

edit// updated table.

Delidded with EK-Supremecy & Liquid Pro, have the Naked Ivy on order & will definately do some before & after temp tests when it arrives.

Temps aren't the problem for me atm, getting the PC to boot at the required speed and complete Superpi is :p

Yes, please do as I'm looking to move to direct-die watercooled as soon as funds permit. :D

I did try using the force this weekend but failed at:
a) Winning the Euro
b) Winning the Lottery
c) Completing Super pi sub 6m17s

My chip just doesn't want to play ball. The bios on P8Z7-V keeps getting its multiplier settings stuck which doesn't help. :rolleyes:

I had that problem on my P8Z77-V Pro when I updated to the latest BIOS, I reverted back to 1501 (I think it's that) and the board stopped playing up.


Add the new entries now :)
 
Its the best you can get basically, it's pretty much liquid metal and offers the best heat transfer you can have. I saw 10'c drop over AS5 and another 15'c off when I used it under the IHS, I expect another 5c when I go direct to die :)

I like the idea that with direct die contact I can use the brush to create an ultra thin layer and not worry about it spilling over the side onto the PCB that could be bad.

If you do choose to get some Liquid Ultra/Pro, really use the tiniest amount - it will blow your mind how far you can stretch this stuff with a cotton bud. Don't use the brush supplied as I find it just attaches itself to the brush and is hard to spread.

I was thinking about using it on my 2 670s but I've read in numerous places it's not too good for them and the ******* dog ate my AS5. :rolleyes:

edit// I do have the Alpenfohn K2 TIM, reckon that'd be any good on GFX cards?
 
Nice submissions, I'll get em added!

kitfit1, I've moved you to the extreme cooling section. Extremely impressive scores, but the cooling is extreme. I think I may have to buy a phase changer on my next build... Whats the noise, power usage, maintenance & running costs (if any)?
