Using a rather high 1.520v we were able to push the Core i7-3770K to 4.92GHz which isn’t bad, that is 100MHz higher than we have been able to get our Core i7-2600K processor.
 Overclocking the Core i7-3770K processor to 4.90GHz allowed for an additional 21% performance in the first past test and 26% for the second pass test. This made the Core i7-3770K considerably faster than the i7-3960X.
 When testing with CINEBENCH R11.5 we saw an additional 27% performance from the overclocked Core i7-3770K, though this was not enough to overtake the i7-3960X in this test. |

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.  |

Nice update but nothing majorly new. |

I was just getting ready to upgrade from my core i5 750 system so this is prefect timing. Thanks for the review. |

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. |
