Near free upgrade to Ivy/Haswell from 2500K - Should I?


Recommended Posts

An Ivy 3750K it is then. Thanks for the help :)

 

You are talking about 3570K right? ;)

You may also look at 3770K if you want to.

 

 

In your position getting haswell makes no sense as it would mean necessity to upgrade the motherboard you are currently using.

Are those temps under water and with HT off or on?

From what I've seen elsewhere and in limited testing with mine...magic fairy dust and unicorns. :lol:

 

 

They're SUPER low compared to everything I've seen even with unlidded chips.

 

 

You need ten pounds of fairy dust in a five pound bag & three unicorns. :lol:

Try running something actually stressful. It's pretty obvious from your temperature graph that you're not running anywhere near full load.

 

Prime95 small FFTs or Linpack give good indicators of both stability and max temps.

Tried Prime 95 Blend @ 4.5 GHz / 1866 MHz  with 1.136V vCore with HT enabled and had to stop test,.. temps were over 90c

The ambient air temp has been over 30C all week it's crazy weather for Colorado.

 

Edit : I will try Linpack tonight, but looks like default vCore up to 4.4 GHz is going to be only OC'd setting that will pass 30 min Prime 95 Blend stress test so far,.. without making me stop test due to vary high temps,.. :lol:
