Is My 3570k any good?

[jamesriley94]

Can you do a cpu-z validation?

Cheers Josh i do count myself very luck, as i have been doing some reading and it would appear that Ivy bridge can be a pain to overclock something i did not come across, which is why i guess some where a bit hostel in there post when i first started posting my results.

The temp seem to be fine up to 4.8 anything after that there is a big jump, not sure to why but i am sure i will find out in due time.

 

[AzR3aeL]

for which one?

 

[jamesriley94]

the 5ghz.

Note from mine and James' sigs that we have both got to 5GHz on our Ivy Bridge processors, but it took us a lot more volts to get there

Not do a Validation before so i hope this is done right,

5 GHz @ 1.328? Mental

 

[jamesriley94]

Can you validate the 4.5ghz too?
You dont need to screenshot - just send us the cpu-z link online and we can see

 

[AzR3aeL]

Do you guys never believe or something! i have done everything anyone has ask form start to finish.

Is there anything else people want me to do? don't want to sound rude just getting tired of people saying i have made mistakes

 

[jamesriley94]

lol - think of it as a good thing as to just how good your chip must be for us not to believe you...

 

[AzR3aeL]

You raise a good point, well I am hoping the validation will help towards changing your mind

Question: When did you buy the chip? Maybe Intel fixed something...

 

[Master&Puppet]

Yea, it's just really, really good - that's why we are confused!

...if so I'm returning mine

 

[PapaSmurf6768]

It's unlikely, but it could happen though. Just noticed his stepping says 9, and his revision says E1, which are both the same as mine. So it's probably the same chip.

 

[jamesriley94]

You should try and go for a bit of a record. Put volts up to 1.5v and go for the highest clock you can. May even break a record

 

[PapaSmurf6768]

With temps as high as his, he probably shouldn't. You gotta get that sorted out dude!

@jamesriley94

You can have advice - absolutely fine...
But you cant really come here and brag about overclocks when you havent fully checked stability.

Prime test it for 12 hours - if it's stable after that, then fine - I'll even apologise if you can get stable at 4.5ghz at anything under 1.17v...

1.17v for 4.5ghz would be absolutely amazing itself...
1.104 is impossible.

yep - happy to..

Sorry for doubting you - have a cookie on me
