Posted on: 04/23/2012 09:40 PM What kind of cooling did you use to be able to run 1.520v on an Ivy Bridge? It would be interesting to see some temperature readings as well.

Posted on: 04/28/2012 08:30 AM Would really like to see the temps and cooling method used to sustain a 1.520v on the Ivy Bridge architecture. With such a small die size to dissipate heat, I can only imagine TERRIBLE temperatures. Reports of 90+ degrees Celsius are streaming in from mere 1.4v overclocks. I would imagine due to the parabolic temperature to voltage ratio, the core must have gotten red-hot unless cooled with liquid hydrogen/nitrogen.
