Title says it all, I got hold of a new i5 3570k for ?150 (tray, no useless packaging and stock HSF, w00t!) to replace my dying / dead i5 2500k. First impressions are excellent. i5 3570k stats: As reported in UEFI Idle Voltage: 0.97v Idle temp: 29.5c (panel off) 32c (panel on) i5 2500k...

So I can get either a 3930k or a 3770k really cheap, however if I go with the 3930k I have to upgrade my mobo to x79 (currently have a Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z). Another option would be to go with haswell and sell my board and 3570k when it comes out and upgrade to a 4770k and another option is to...

Which brand would you buy? Price is not a factor.

Saw this today an I have to say, I am a bit worried about this move and the overclocking potential of Haswell. Lets hope this new voltage regulator is controllable. what do you guys think? SOURCE Intel's Haswell Takes A Major Step Forward; Integrates Voltage Regulator Monday, May 13,...

Picked this 3770k up at Microcenter for $230. I searched but haven't found any overclocking #'s on this yet. Guess I'll find out soon enough.

Guys i have problem with my mobo ( i suppose ): I make today some test with my brand new 3570k. Everything was ok until I wanted to go back to the factory settings. I cant set cpu to stock multiplier. When i go to bios everything is set ok, but in os ( win7 64bit ) i have 41x I try:

I'm thinking about upgrading my RAM and searching for the new sticks I learnt that Ivy's IMC voltage is 1.5 rather than previous 1.65V. Has anybody experienced any kind of degradation due to 24/7 RAM OC using more than 1.5V? I'd like to keep my CPU for a few more years so if there's a real...

Title says most of it. My stalwart i5 2500k has recently developed a fault (random lockups and BSODs even at stock, tested on 3 different boards and the CPU does the same) so the question now is how to destroy it? I had considered death by JCB wrench and death by blowtorch, but I figured I would...
