oK, SO AS THE TITLE SAYS : So, should I Go for the 3570K OR The 2500K. I will be overclocking using a H100. Which one will give me the lowest overall temps?
Ivy Bridge 3570K Or Sandy Bridge 2500K?

I would personally go ivy-bridge, but sandy-bridge does run cooler lowest temps would be the 2500k

Ivybridge.
The temps are only higher if you push to like 4.7/4.8ghz which there is no benefit in doing, and you get a better memory controller with Ivybridge

So, the general consensus is Ivy Bridge then.
But i think I'll wait for a few more opinions

Meeeeeh.
Don't really think there's need for more opinions. The 3570k is just a 2500k with a smaller die size. Performance is basically the same, but because of the die shrink you get more in it, like the better RAM controller and better build in graphics - hopefully you wont be using them anyway, but still nice to know if your graphics card packs in, you could still play games at decent settings with the integrated graphics.
Also, the Ivybridge will hold their value better now than Sandybridge.
Just seems a no brainer to me to buy Sandy now
