Early Ivy Bridge Sample Tested

[eXa]

Is stock VID 1.1v?

[UrbanSmooth]

Eh, 6GHz on water? Hmmm...

[FlanK3r]

not possible, only maybe for validation, max superpi 1M.

[RPGWiZaRD]

Yea 6GHz and above is out of reach other than subzero cooling (yet I'm not suprised if we see some crazy ppl doing some benchmarks at like 5.7-5.9GHz on air/water though ^^), even if it would be a bad sample the sample variety is never that big so that we could expect to see some 6GHz clocks on water. I'd be happy if some Ivy Bridge samples let you do benchmarks at a bit higher voltage (1.35~1.40v) at 5.5GHz on air but for 24/7 use if 1.1v is stock I wouldn't go past 1.3v or so in the sense I wouldn't go higher than around 1.35v (24/7 use) with Sandy.

Hmm I wonder when intel scraps atom and just goes for singel/dualcore variants of its normal chips. The original atom had a very noticable size difference comapred to the normal mobile offerings.. now the gap gets smaller and smaller...

[herderien]

over 5Ghz 24/7 on air would do the trick for me, maybe 5,1 or 5,2 with a good batch ? ^^

btw, disabling HT would allow higher clock / lower vCore...and use of extra cache ...

could bo good for a gaming station around 5,5Ghz wouldn't it ?

Intel "Ivy Bridge" Core i7-3770K is Capable of 100% Overclock - BSN*

When it comes to the hardware side, we were shown that the processor excels in performance. We saw the samples of Core i7-3770K going from 3.5 GHz to massive 7.06 GHz clock. By raising voltage to 1.889 Volts, using 63x multiplier and 112.11 MHz and using dry ice - the 22nm beast passed 7000 MHz.

Using 1.889 Volts, it rather jump to light speed.
We already saw BD going up to 8GHz and beyond.

Damn, maybe I should delete my thread. lol

[FlanK3r]

nice, 7 GHz for Intel is great, new WRs in superpi coming .

7GHz, probably enough for new WR's in everything, 2D and 3D...

Difference being BD was crap even at those clocks, and as Gunslinger mentioned above, at 7Ghz Ivy will/may break every record except for CPUz.....

How many cores was active? 2?
i7-3770K has all cores active.

Man I wish it didn't have 63x multi as limit, that's what's really holding these back, that and cold bug appearently (otherwise I have a feeling dry ice hadn't been used). Would be interesting to know how high the CPU would go if there was no cpu multi limit nor cold bug, feels like 8GHz+ had been possible already on LN2.

Maybe as time passes people find out tricks to stabilize high BCLKs or there's better motherboards launched for this purpose.

[aussie-revhead]

Any chance of unleashing BCLK with Ivy? Or will it have the same limitations as Sandy? I read rumour of a 133 mhz BCLK option and that Ivy had no cold bug at all, have these been shown to be false?

You need to wait for release to find the truth about anything these days mate.

Except for your faith in Trouffman being able to lift a 60L dewar, I am starting to agree with more and more of what you suggest, veteran

Could the new 63x limit be similar to the old 60x limit in that it seems close but very few will ever reach it anyway?

i7-3770K has all cores active.

it doesnt matter how many cores....Validation is validation. Its only 1-2s of idle stability for save validation file.

[aussie-revhead]

Of course but for benching most 3D benchmarks its useless, thats why they said above that Intel at 7Ghz will win everything except cpu-z.

[Maxforces]

it does matter even for validation file how many cores are active.Try on your BD. 1 module clocked higher than 2 modules always.
Why the world record was only one module not all?

[FlanK3r]

not from my point of view...with my average chip and all cores I got 74xx MHz (-185C only). Yes, it could help about +100-200 MHz, but thats all. With the same technique u can OC SB. Still, 85xx MHz is impressive.

It's more impressive to be able to do something worthwhile with all those MHz, IMHO of course
