Max Overclock - 3570k + Water 2.0 Extreme

post #1 of 9

Thread Starter 
So to my dismay Micro Center stopped doing the i5 2500k bundle... so I was forced to go with the 3570k bundle when assembling my build.

I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to get a good overclock, and I had been looking forward to potentially pushing 5+ GHZ on the 2500k with this Water 2.0 Extreme cooler.

So I got everything put together, and low and behold my Ivy Bridge 3570k was a bad overclocker...... cryingsmiley.gif




How bad you might dare to ask...? Well it hits 4.2 on stock volts like many smile.gif To hit 4.5 a voltage of 1.32+ is necessary.

My maximum stable overclock ended up to be 4.8 GHZ at 1.48V. This results in a peak temperature of 88C on the hottest core, and 88C package temperature.

If you ask me those are some pretty good temperatures for a boxed liquid cooler and some extreme voltage for an Ivy Bridge CPU.

Every chips OC'ing potential is different than one another. 1.32V just for 4.5Ghz does seem quite steep.

3570K's OC'ing potential is actually excellent, but due to Intel's TIM between the die and IHS, it gets limited by that factor as the thermal paste is of useless quality, causing the high temps.

With my 3570K, I could do a max OC of 4.9Ghz and at around 1.44V with temps breaking 90C easily. After I removed the IHS, cleaned Intel's thermal paste and applied a much better one, I can now hit 5Ghz @ 1.52V and without going above 73C.

4.8ghz 3570k = 5ghz/5.1ghz 2500k + all the extra goodies.. You should be over joyed with that chip thumb.gif

Yeah I can hit 4.9 but it gets too hot to see if it's stable because it takes 1.52V to get there. Maybe if I was willing to put it at 1.6V it would run at 5.0 GHZ lol.

I'm not too comfortable removing the IHS just because I may need the warranty someday what with these high voltages...

For some very very odd reason ur temps are far far better then mine.. 1.35v im in the low 90s c...

And it is not due to air flow.. my room avg is 75 degrees..

That's what I'm saying is ridiculous... such high voltages and fairly low temperatures considering. Sadly it doesn't clock well even though it tolerates voltage unlike any Ivy Bridge I've read about.

The Water 2.0 extreme is a thicker radiator than the H100 I think, and mine is set up with push/pull.

The Water 2.0 extreme is a thicker radiator than the H100 I think, and mine is set up with push/pull.

The Thickness does not help anything.. with the flow of the 2 there about the same.. the corsair is reported to be a little better... I also have push pull..

If i try to push past 1.4v my temps shoot up past 100c..


Maybe there is a IB revision.. and they put solder under the IHS or something lol.

The temps u r reporting are SB temps

I can't really see the Corsair H100 being anything besides a bit worse, being that both coolers are made by Asetek and the only notable difference besides thickness is the fans. I don't know how the fans compare, maybe the Corsair ones are a bit better...

I doubt there is an Ivy Bridge revision personally just because it would cost Intel money.

Yeah I only wish I was getting SB overclocks....

Your better then a 2500k now... Also it also depends on flow rate not just a tad more thickness,, I do think they compared the 2 and the corsair had a tiny edge.
