OBR posted a graph about air overclock: LINK
As so many other sources have hinted also, seems like Ivy has exactly same overclocking capabilities as Sandy. We're still looking at 4.5~4.8GHz 24/7 use range or so on air for most users based on all results seen so far. I personally expected more but I suppose tri-gate transistors which are new is probably the cause of the slight "downgrade" in OC capabilities, if the trend had continued as previously with a lower process node (I know I know, lower process node doesn't garantuee better OC capabities as there's so many factors that has to be taken into account but by going by the history it has), Ivy would have done aprox 5.0~5.3GHz as easily as Sandy reaches 4.5~4.8GHz so with that in mind it's a slight letdown for me.Quote:

i find 71° @1,34 very hot, depending on what air cooler was used...
I was really hoping for 5.5 to 6.0 GHZ with 20% bettter IPC than Sandy. Sounds like my hopes and dreams are about to be shattered. :-/
Lets hope they prove me wrong on April 23rd......
When you're hoping too high, you will always be disappointed :p:Quote:

added to this statement, i'm disapointed too...

In your dreams do they come with a coupon for a free BJ done by your favorite hooker too?Quote:

It might be naive hope, but, no need to mock on such a level.
No need to post OBR shyte either.

"KEEP YOUR SANDY BRIDGE! E1 IVY BRIDGE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE OCERS ON AIR!"
A few people with hands-on experience have told me this, so I'm worried also, it's great for the LN boys but worse for the rest of us. I never wanted a 2011 CPU due to expense but I'm starting to look now because Ivy won't help my PBs...
:(
As I've said for the last month, mid 4 GHz range tops for most. Agreed with OBR, for 24/7 use HANG ON TO YOUR SANDIES!
if you get a Z77 mobo and a 2500-2700K cpu for it can you get the higher rams speeds or is that directly to the imc ??
Iam on water too.
CPU limited...
Glad I grabbed a couple more Sandy chips, Time will tell for sure but so far it seems just slightly faster.
You're still limited to 8x/8x pci-e 2.0 with sandy. GTX680 seems to like the extra bandwith.
The higher memory ratios are not available to Sandy Bridge.
That's too bad, gents. That's really too bad. Bring on Haswell and we'll all start again anew.
Probly with air overcl0ocking IB won't beat SB, but @ least theres a difference in memory overclocking 2133 and 2400+
Awesome Dumo are those my rams? Any idea how four sticks will clock? Have you tested Ivy under single stage?
:D
Meh. I'll take the tighter timings, most days of the week.

Scaling starts to drop away very rapidly past about 2,700 MHz anyway, but if you're shooting for records there's no doubt you want every last bit of scaling available.
I would too if it scored better but 3D11 seems to like mhz over latencies.Quote:
