    Dell U3013 to be available in March 2013

    ahhhh.. march 2013. means they are 6 months for me to sell my current U2412M and grab this LED U3013. yeahhhh!

    Post your New Ivy Bridge Processor Thermals, Type of Cooling, and First Impressions:

    my 3770k idle @ 1.6GHz with core temperature around 40c. same like my previous 2600k. anyway my ambient temperature around 35c. when it accelerate to 4.6GHz stressed either using prime95 or linX, it shows 85c for core temperature :D and again, it is normal to me although that i managed to get...

    P8P67 + i7-2600K idle @ 1.6GHz with 1.1++v vcore??

    update: after did some experiment, the voltage is high even though idle @ 1.6GHz when i set manual turbo boost more that x47 for single core & enable PLL overvolt. if i use less than 47, for example 46 or 45 and disable PLL overvolt, i managed to get 0.7-0.9v for vcore when idle @ 1.6GHz. :D...

    CPU is better ? i5-2000k or i7-2600k ?

    buy whatever you like. if money is not an issue, go get 2600k.

    2600k voltage question

    i pissed because my previous i7-860 vcore dropped to 0.8v when system is not doing anything. but this i7-2600 still using 1.1v when downclocked to 1.6GHz :D

    2600k voltage question

    i think you are not reading my previous properly. i am not using manual voltage. i am using auto with offset and still the idle voltage is more than 1v. so the conclusions: many reviewer from hardware portal/website are liar! power saving my ass. can drop down to 0.6v my ass :mad:

    2600k voltage question

    your problem is similar like me, man! i don't know whose fault, BIOS or processor chips. i bet in the future either each board manufacturer will release bios fix to fix this idle vcore overvoltage, or intel will release new stepping/revision of their second gen i7 processor.

    P8P67 + i7-2600K idle @ 1.6GHz with 1.1++v vcore??

    the vcore that i saw is coming from cpu-z. even from aisuite II software also showing similar reading of vcore. and from aisuite II i saw that cpu usage is around 8-10W which is not "quite power saving". ;)

    P8P67 + i7-2600K idle @ 1.6GHz with 1.1++v vcore??

    zaxour: i do care because i run my pc 24/7 for website and some other purposes. the reason why i am asking because my previous system i7-860 based on 45nm idling at 0.8++v of vcore. then this newer chip based on 32nm should use less juice than that, right? i heard from some website saying that...

    P8P67 + i7-2600K idle @ 1.6GHz with 1.1++v vcore??

    no. i just use turbo boost, with custom setting in bios, eg: 1core=49, 2core=47 and so on. perhaps, your idling voltage is higher than me! your 1.6GHz using 1.27v ?!?!

    P8P67 + i7-2600K idle @ 1.6GHz with 1.1++v vcore??

    hello guys. is that normal, this processor using 1.1++v of vcore when EIST & C1E plus the EPU engine running at auto? this things suppose to give "power saving" right? but what i saw, the vcore never goes down below 1v even when idling and speedstep goes down to 1.6G so whats happening...
