Intel i7 3770k Temps

65'C seems much more realistic, although I don't quite trust those applications that you used for temperature monitoring.

I prefer to use HWMonitor. Some people like CoreTemp, but I really dislike it.
 
There was another thread here about the Ivy and someone had a link to the temp issues (prior to this May 11 article linked in this thread). The issue then was thought to be the actual manufacturing process of the cores. There was a link in the other thread that showed the same experiment where somebody removed the outer and cleaned out the thermal compound to test the issues. So looks like the Ivy Bridge needs some re-thinking....

My Sandy idles in the mid 30's and peaks in the low 50's with an antec khuler. BUt I have an even heatspread across all four cores. I see the Ivy usually has 1 core that is up to 20C higher than the other 3.

HWmonitor reports 64 max while AI is chilling at 45'C....

Under real word usage(COD, Crysis, editing etc) it doesn't come close to the temps when benching
 
HWMonitor should be reporting 4 temperatures - 1 for each core, as well as CPUTIN.
 
I think the small fab is causing some heat issues but that TIM and lack of fluxless solder is causing the majority of the problem

My 3570K temps at idle are around 27'c if Im not mistaken and jump to around 55 under load. I did notice that 1 core is fluctuates a lot more than the others which is weird. That is stock and only turbo boosted to 3.8(also stock). Running a Kuhler 620 with 2 cougar vortex fans in push/pull. My temps dropped by 5'c with those fans(used to use the original and a CM sickleflow). Just plain amazing and insanely silent but man are they orange :D

I think the temp issue on IB is blown out of proportion as well. At idle these things run cooler than SB and use less power. Its only when cranking up the voltage that they spike.

My 5c worth anyway ;)
 
@Ipwn 4. Did you hit 4.6Ghz without changing any voltage?

Those temps are not bad. Im going to try mine out. Keen to OC sometime but dont want to mess around with voltage etc
 
Reaper84:
Ipwn 4's voltage is most definitely adjusted and it seems to be fixed at 1.344V.

Why don't you want to adjust your voltage? Anything under 1.4V should be safe I suppose, but try to keep it below 1.35V. This is typically what people suggest is that you keep it below 1.35V.

Getting to 4.8GHz you might have to go above 1.35V though.

Yeah that 4.6 is using the Asus AI, the bios has a profile to reach 4.8 but it blue screens when stress testing, if I don't run tests it runs fine
 
My bad. Had a noob moment there. I am more than happy with it as is. Might just OC it for some benchies and then use stock.

Not too sure what voltage to use when going for 4.2ghz. Dont want to burn this thing out

I am coming from a C2Q Q9400 which had very little OC room in it on my POS G41 motherboard :( So have shocking OC knowledge
