Hi all people, after couple of Issues with idle temps my new 3770k i've decided to make some test and ask all of you for thoughts about this chip quality..
I had already a 3770k some time ago, the worse silicon lottery I had in my life with a intel processor, that required some high 1.20V to reach 4.2GHZ.. and at very high temperature, this new one with my first impression are of a good god damn chip, to the moment i am using negative offset voltage to lower the high amount of voltage supplied by auto-voltage.. to the moment it seems rock solid with a -0.060 offset that under load sit at 1.072V to keep running 4.2GHZ at some average 62C under Prime95 with peaks of 67C on 2 cores. (which I think its kinda decent for my 27.6C room temp at the moment of the test with just an h100i with balanced mode) I think im still can keep increasing the negative offset and lower the load voltage but i do not wan't to make the idle voltage so low, so i think i will keep testing tomorrow and see how low can this chip still be stable, i made some gaming sessions on BF3, AC3, The witcher 2, Crysis3, Dragon Age Origins, Batman Arkham City, Far Cry 3 and hitman: absolution. then a P95 run for about 25min still rock solid, no crash no errors.
share your thoughts . im pretty happy with this chip ATM, if i can keep this kind of lower voltage i will start to push it hoping some 4.6-4.8GHZ with good voltage + good temps.
