Is My 3570k any good?

What cooling are you using again?
Let's try and sort that out :)

And so you know how good it is - When I did my 5ghz run, I had to go all the way up to 1.52v. You've done it way way less.

You sure you dont have a friend in intel that sent you a prime chip? :)
 
Oh going for the record could be fun :)

cooling wise and please remember this was never built to break records more of a silent server rig

Rez. Koolance RP-452x2 latest version
Pump. Alpha cool VPP655 x2 set up in serial and at speed 2 for both
Rads. Swifttech MCR420QP x2
Fans. Corsair Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition x8 running @ 1000rpm
GPU Block. Koolance for a HD 5800
CPU Block. EK Supremacy 1155
TIM. Indigo Extreme
Fluid. Distilled water
All wrapped up in a Caselabs TH10 case

Do you need to burn test for a record run or just validate?
 
You only need to get a boot. Temps shouldnt be a problem - getting it stable should.

Dont stress test at all - get in, get valid, get out :)
 
Just make sure you boot in ASAP. Get rid of any passwords, and set your PC to log into your account as soon as it's finished with the splash screen. Disable any other programs that open on boot, and leave CPU-Z on your taskbar. Set CPU-Z to send you an email containing your validation link also, as Chrome tends to get unstable at the edge of your chip's stability.
I couldn't even load HWMonitor when I did my run, as it just wasn't stable enough.
Best of luck, dude.

Make sure you get your temps sorted at some point, though. I still think there's more to be done there.
 
I know I just like to know what voltage makes each clock works, temps are not that bad anymore the really height temps was when I was trying to IBT each clock cuz that seem to be what everyone was asking for, @ 5.1 the temp where in high 40s and low 50s
 
I personally told myself that 1.4v was the cut off point, which is why I was glad that my 5GHz run finally made it. I daresay you could push it more though, as it's only for a minute or so.
 
1.5v should be fine. 1.52v should be alright too. Intel say up to 1.52v - and so I highly doubt it will kill the chip (especially under water).
It also wont cause degradation if only for a minute or so
 
My little MSI overclocking guide that came with my GD65 classifies 1.25V-1.45V as "Fun". Anything past that is either Danger or Not Recommended. Just got my 3570K to the highest clock I've ever done, but it still doesn't say 5GHz :mad:

-rubs hands together- I too shall see what clocks I can get to within 1.5v...but tomorrow. When I have clear access to the 'Clear CMOS' button.
 
Well i recon i have hit my cut off point now, recon i could hit 5.3 at 1.52v just don't really fancy going there as is a new chip and my main rig for a few year so cant offered any mishaps

Not to say i am not happy with what i pushed out of it the results seem to be epic

 
cheers dude, still apart of me that want to see how far it will go :) maybe near the end of this rig s life spam....lol

what is the record for a 3570K on water or air buy the way? i know i am most likely not even close just thought i would find out
