Been playing around with a brand new i7 3770K.

Running prime95 right now with a 4.649Ghz overclock.

The Voltage is at 1.2 and temps maxing at 63-65 on 100% load.
 
Wow, that's low voltage. Too bad the temps are highish. I mean, not bad, but at 1.2v I'd expect lower temps. But looks like a great chip.
 
Ivy Bridge runs hotter than SB did, for not much of an improvement, but yea, it clocks about the same and has a little more ipc from what i remember.

I read that the first batches are always the worst, they're hotter and worse overclockers than the later batches.
 
Seems Intel has finally hit a wall on IPC and heat with higher GHZ even at 22nm. Could be a opening for AMD if they can get the voltage down and GHZ. higher like they were suppost to be. Who knows, all unlocked FX Piledrivers that can do 5.5/6.0ghz easy with low votage and less heat. They are putting in Resonant Clock Mesh. Claims it can get around 5/10% at lower clocks and up to 24% power saving at 4ghz. and above.
 
Been running at 4.850Ghz, overnight with Prime95 stable.

Temps stay below 70, and voltage is 1.344V

Gonna try for 5 today
 
It's amazing how good central processing units are presently. And then AMD and Intel just keep making processors better.

Intel is down to 22 nanometer technology presently and AMD is down to 32 nanometers. I wonder if they will ever get down to 2 nanometers?
 
2nm? Not with silicone!

Intel's offerings are far too expensive for me, and an FX8120 at $185 is mighty tempting, but at that price, I might as well buy a 2500K, except I'd have to change motherboard as well. Decisions, decisions...

You have to ask yourself if its really worth it,I mean i was tempted to drop £300 on a 3570K & Z77 board on release day but in all honesty,My current setup still plows through even the latest games such as BF3 at high settings with ease and im sure yours does too. :)

The reality is, there is no need to upgrade!

I simply have access to some parts via friends at a shop--otherwise I'd have no need to switch to a new chip from my 2600K

Ivy Bridge is good, Sandy Bridge is good..but no real need to upgrade.

That being said, who wants to buy my 2600K..:D

The Rumors about Piledriver being cancelled weren't true? Nice.
 
i was gonna buy a 3770k. but i saw nothing special that warranted a purchase when my 2700k is faster and easier to oc. does the 3770 handle multi gpu setups better
 
@Laquer Head Just curious whether you hit 5 with H100. Please post the current status of the OCing if possible.

Yes, I got to 5GHz stable, but the temps were quite high.

I am debating about removing cpu, cleaning and reapplying new paste though to try.

Funny enough 4.8GHZ was stable and great temps, retaining low voltage..might be the sweet spot for o.c. on the 3770K
