Intel Ivy Bridge Once again features 95W TDP - Core i7 3770K Retail Box Pics Confirm

[topgear]

^^ thanks for the info ... still a 77W TDP cpu can limit the potential of OC .. so it's a nice move by Intel that they kept a suitable headroom to oc IB cpus unlike what anandtech has predicted ( see previous post for that ).

ivy bridge releasing on april 23..finally..

77 Watt TDP will increase the potential for OC by hiving much more headroom for OCing.

hi guys is the ivy bridge cpu worth going i have heard rumours on some forums the overclocking chip are unstable high temp even with water cooling will wait for some
official reviews to take a call on that

[saikiasunny]

Hey guys, how does tdp determines the overclocking capacity of a cpu?

[amjath]

Here's a review on Ivy Bridge's HP Elitebook [Yes yes Ivy bridge]. What really surprised me is this

Working with Ivy Bridge was also a pleasure. As seen by the benchmarks, what we have here is a platform that runs very quickly, with low heat, and good battery life.

I already had my fingers crossed

HP EliteBook 8470p Review - Intel Ivy Bridge Shines

Hey guys, how does tdp determines the overclocking capacity of a cpu?

Less TDP cpus will remain much more cooler and consume less volt and power - and less volt consumption and cool cpu temps increase OC potential.

77 Watt TDP will increase the potential for OC by hiving much more headroom for OCing.

but less TDP can also mean a cpu has a limited power consumption barrier and won't reach further compared to the higher TDP models in the same series and that's why Intel has increased the power consumption limit of 3770K and that increased it's TDP.

and look at some power saving cpu models from both Intel ( Q8 and Q9 series ) and AMD - they are not great OCable cpus compared to the non power saving models.

Thanks for the reply. Another question
Would i able to overclock an i5 3570k on a h77 mobo?

[topgear]

according to the Intel website
Intel® H77 Express Chipset
and Asus P8H77-M PRO mobo spec :
ASUS - Motherboards- ASUS P8H77-M PRO
H77 supports OCing

but acc to the anandtech review
AnandTech - The Ivy Bridge Preview: Core i7 3770K Tested
H77 has no OC capability

But I've heard that all 77 chipset supports OCing so wait for confirmations from others.

[saswat23]

Yep, even flipkart has mentioned that H77 boards supprot but reviews tell the opposite.
BTW, found this: Intel's desktop Ivy Bridge Core i3 processors priced by VR-Zone.com

[topgear]

if H77 supports OC or not can't say for sure without any proper review where the CPU is OCed using a H77 mobo but acc to the manufacturers H77 supports OC or may be they are just shipping with some kind of OC app

MSI Global ? Mainboard - H77MA-G43
ASRock > Products > H77 Pro4-M

[saswat23]

But IMO H77 boards wont support OCing, if they did so then no one would ever opt for Z77.

[RiGOD]

It was told 23rd right? Any Sign?

[dfcols71]

i read in some forum 1800 hours eastern standard time or1700 gmt

[RiGOD]

Intel releases 22nm Ivy Bridge processors

rigod the link you give is no launch
here the approximate time 5 pm uk time

^^Thanks for the link mate.

Intel Core i7-3770K Review: A Small Step Up From Sandy Bridge

[ico]

Temps are high when overclocked. Like I had told a couple of guys over PM when they asked whether to wait for IVB.

[saswat23]

Found this: Ivy Bridge Graphics: Entry-Level Cards are Dead | PCWorld
I think it was known earlier too.

They were already dead when Llano came out.

Anandtech ivybridge review

Quick sync is blazing fast. Even bests nvidia's Nvenc which is a fixed function logic present in gtx 680.

[dfcols71]

so for overclockers better to go for sandybridge especially i7 2600k non overclockers can
buy ivy bridge or wait 2 months to see if 22nm chips become matured in heat dispersion
is the inference.Intel must be nuts to call their flagship cpu-i7 3770k,deeply disappointed in its overclocking
capabilities especially for air cooling

[saswat23]

And noe this comes up:

[The Sorcerer]

Like I said: 2600K+ Z77 is the way to go. And quick before its too late!

Not much space between die and IHS for heat dissipation. Wait for future IVBs.

[pcforumguy]

Like I said: 2600K+ Z77 is the way to go. And quick before its too late!

Yep! But choose Z77 mobo wisely b'cause some entry level mobo's VRM were pretty much basic for 2600k if anyone want to OC.

@ico, how they recorded 100+ temp? that easily crosses the processor safety limit

80+ on stock. looks like Pentium4 days are back. And 55 @ 0.9V

Intel deliberately holding off the mid & lowend Ivys to fix this heat problem. Highend Ivy Bridge will mostly use aftermarket coolers. Moreover they tested these under specially cooled rooms. Here in India where 40 is considered normal for summer days, Ivy Bridge will run real hot. Ivy Bridge CHULHA Edition

And quick before its too late!

most online shops (not to mention local ones) happily offer you a Clarkdale based processor if you ask for. So you think SB will disappear that fast?

[ico]

I am worried about Ivy Bridge laptops as well. We all know how much laptop OEMs compromise on cooling.

Thing is, Ivy Bridge's die size is small - so less area for heat conduction compared to a "sweet spot". Sandy Bridge had bigger area and around the sweet spot, so ran cooler because heat conduction was fine. Intel should have added two more cores to IVB. Bigger die size and should have ran cooler.

Check this out btw:

@ico, how they recorded 100+ temp? that easily crosses the processor safety limit

Ivy Bridge's Tjmax is 105.

77 Watt TDP will increase the potential for OC by hiving much more headroom for OCing.

A mix of both - power consumption and temperature.

[sam]

Intel should have added two more cores to IVB.

Intel need a genius like you

SB's Core i3s didn't overheat even if they had smaller die area. reason being they were clocked low and can't be overclocked.

Ivy Birdge's Tjmax is 105.

didn't know. thanks for the update.
