 The system power consumption figures when using the Core i7-3770K were amazing, as this processor consumed 11% less power than the i7-2600K. The idle consumption results remained much the same, as the Core i7-3770K configuration used just 75 watts at idle compared to the 76 watts of the i7-2600K. That said, the idle results look much more impressive when compared to the 98 watts of the Core i7-3820 and 100 watts of the FX-8150. When under load the 147 watts consumed by the Core i7-3770K configuration meant that it consumed 14% less power than the i7-3820, 37% less than the Phenom II X6 1100T, and 42% less power than the FX-8150. |

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. |
