Well, it's not just the difference between 4.3 and 4.5 ghz, it's aso the fact that most 3570k should run 4.3 with 1.20v and not 1.30v, which make a pretty considerable difference in heat and longitivity.
Second, i'm also changing for an i7 3770k.
Third, i bought for around 3000$ of...
After trying many settings and tweaking, the best it can do is 4.3 with 1.288 vcore, prime (blend) stable, 80c max temp.
I already have an RMA going on with newegg, have to pay a restocking fee of 15%, but thats ok, i don't wanna keep this chip, i'd have to be VERY unlucky to get a worst one.
CPU PLL is auto = 1.81
turbo boost is on ( it has to be on to change the CPU multi to 40x etc ?)
LLC is set to auto
CPU spread spectrum is disabled
C1 state, c3 c6, is off
speedstep is off
I set LLC to auto cause i find that the Vcore that cpu-z give is closer to the vcore in the bios...
lol 10$ ?
At this point i think i'll just run it with high voltage and when it dies in 6 months or so, it can rest in peace. Then for 230$ new i'll just buy another one.
I'm using a xigmatek darknight and MX-2 paste.
I'm currently testing 4.3 with 1.256 vcore. Hopefully it will be fully stable. MAYBE i can get 4.4 with 1.30v. I don't wanna go over 1.30v.
I'm extremely disappointed :( Most ppl can get 4.4 with 1.20v !!!! I hate being unlucky, and now i'm...
Lot of people seem to be able to OC their 3570k very easily, they get about 4.4 or 4.5 with 1.20v.....
So i decided to try mine. with 1.20v, 4.5ghz BSOD loading windows, and 4.4ghz freeze once windows is loaded....
Did i get a shit OCing chip ? (thinking about returning it to newegg.)...
So i built my new rig this morning. What is new is a P8Z77 WS + I5 3570k + Corsair vengeance 1600mhz 8gb 9-9-9-24 1.50v. The rest of my hardware didn't change (SSD crucial m4 256gb, HX-850 PSU, MSI GTX 680). And i had no problems before i installed my new mobo\cpu\ram.
I can access the UEFI...
Well the ASUS P8Z77 WS and P8Z77 Premium have 4 PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots. But they will do x16/x16/0/0 or x16/x8/x8/0 or x8/x8/x8/x8. I have been looking at a lot of boards the past few days for my new set up, and i've not seen any Mobo that can do x16/x16/x16/0.
If i'm not mistaken, even on the...
I currently have a Xigmatek dark knight with my i7 930. It's OCed @ 4.2 with 1.35v. Temps in P95 blend reach 70-75c. (I use MX-2 paste).
I don't think my Dark knight will cut it for the i5 3570k though. I'll try it and see how far i can OC without too much heat. But i'm pretty sure i'll have...
