Ivy bridge scales well with cold while Sandy is usually optimized at SS levels.

When using a cascade Phase setup, Ivy will definitely perform better. It is still luck of the draw or good binning to find a superb chip though.

Most Ivy chips that I have placed under Dice,SS, will do 5.3 or better. Equivalent to a 5.45 Sandy Bridge chip.

Finding a 5.45Ghz Sandy Chip is probably less then 10% in my binning experience.

Max Multi is 59 on Sandy and I believe 63 On Ivy!

In a Nutshell, IVY is the choice with cascade and Sandy is for SS.

If I were in your shoes ...... If you were coming from anything besides a 2500k/2600k I would say it would be worth it right now. But even the pcie 3.0 isn't that great of an upgrade yet. Haswell will be a bigger performance jump (hopefully the heat issues from ivy will be better) and by then gpu's will hopefully utilize the pcie 3.0 better. Plus haswell is going to be socket 1150 or something like that and the motherboards will be much different. So an upgrade at haswell could hopefully last to one gen past haswell where as going to ivy right now will only get you that small increase.

Can't even use a cascade with sandy or sb-e, it's just too cold & none of those would get to POST. Ivy is much more fun with cold, & even a half decent ivy will overclock as well or better than a great sandy.
If you want to play with memory clocking as well a 3770k would be a better choice over the 3570k, from what I've seen generally the 3770k IMC is much stronger.

Finally some sub zero people in here!! All the water and air cooling people saying to stick with the 2500k rolleyes.gif

This is how my 2500k was run 24/7 on SS

53Ghz-1.jpg

Max multiplier was x55 too for 5.5Ghz benchmark sessions thumb.gif

Very True! Most of my sandy chips will not post even under Dice! I believe I have owned one chip that would and it benched at 5.6Ghz!

Air or water I would go Sandy! Ivy needs a lot of cold to perform well. LN2, LHe, Cascade range!

Yeah I would go ivy since you have a cascade to play with,two reasons,you will be able to test your ivy under cascade and SS and give people first hand on what the ivy platform can do on your products (cascade, SS) I think it possible to get a 3770k to 6 ghz on cascade ,I think FTW did.I would go for a 3770k over the 3570 too as what FTW said, the 3570 just are a real luck of the draw to what I've seen .I tried two 3570s and put one of them on a cascade and they were both junk, both bad on water and the one I put on cascade maxed out at 5.6 ghz

Definitely not worth it, you'll barely see an improvement.

He ask if there is a difference between i5 2500k and ivy on cascade , the i5 2500k won't even work on cascade (-100)The ivy will love cascade
