nice one boss! unta maka post sad ka, ug highest clock speed na ma overclock aning i5 3570K nga stable cxa.. hhehe btw pila ang WEI?? I know nga dli jud ni impt but, nindot man gud sad ug u knw na dako ang score sa WEI.

thanks bro for your review... from an "Istoryan's Perspective"... let's drink to this... for me, pyts ra gyud ni nko ang temp sa IB unlocked processors even on overclocking...

the part i love...Lets drink to this!

[fish]

bongganotch!!! nindot ang conclusion... hehehe.

i totally dis-agree on your comment bro... gamit man gani ang old P4 dha sa atoa na mas init pa compared sa Ivy Bridge... init pa gani ang uban CPUs sa intel ug AMD gani ani then pwerte pa dagan dha sa tropical countries like Pinas...

common guys.... let's get real!

wew, p4 ? wow nice example bro, huna-hunaa lang gud ang presyo sa duha... kung wala kai nindot na watercooling system will you take the risk of having Ivy ,considering it's price value then masunog ra cause of our country's temp.? Dali ra ka makaingon ana cause p4 man imuha... If you read my comment properly you will understand there that I was talking about Ivy Bridge will not be good if you don't have a good cooling system and I also said di xa recommended for ordinary users(as of today na in-ani pa ang temp sa ilang Ivy) cause mahal sd ang water cooled or ang mag-aircon... agree nka?

c'mon man ...lets read and think.


Anyways, TS nice review..very detailed...!♥U

bro, are you a technical guy? if masunog lang ang ivy bridge "K" processors sa tropical country, would Intel issue the same combo air cooling system sa ilahang processors right inside the box? think on this... ayaw pataka ug comment... mao lang ni huna2-a... kay kun unreliable ni na product, dili ni nila i-release sa market kay dako kaayo ang bayad sa Customer claim kun mo fail ang semiconductor product in this case, the Ivy Bridge Processors sa ordinary customers then product related ang problema. OC thing is void ni ang warranty claim. kay OC is at the users risk (kun mag OC, given gyud na mag change ug cooling system). Im handling/ managing the QAR (Quality Assurance and Reliability Section) sa company where asa ko nag work ron bro... QAR in semiconductor industry is my field...

kahibaw ang intel design peeps kun asa ang init kay sa reliability test, naa'y hot spot testing ang himoon para mahibaw-an asa ang leakage sa chip. if the same ang good ug and "supposedly" bad unit in a series if testing and a handful of samples, no issue ra na. inherent sa design. then before a semiconductor product i-release sa market, mo undergo sa sya ug product qualification then a battery of reliability testing...

just my share bro...

@3.4 - 4.0ghz...very acceptable pa kaau ang load temps...under 75degrees.even an entry level cooler can handle those temps...kung ordinary user ka dili na nimo kinahanglan ang 4.5ghz.

[fish]

i don't think naa program nga ma-run nimo sa 4.5ghz nga di nimo ma-run 4.0ghz... or even 3.6ghz. ok na gani kaayo na ang 3.6ghz

Bro, I did the test in my place in Lapu-lapu City. Which is in the province of Cebu. And Cebu that is a province of the Republic of the Philippines. And Lapu-lapu is hot, humid and tropical. We have plenty of great beaches here, come visit us! hahaha!

Ivy Bridge is the code name of Intel's new processor design. Just like Sandy Bridge, it is not limited to high end processors. Sandy Bridge also has the entry level Pentium G620, Core i3 2100, Core i5 2320 as well as Mobile processors for laptops, Xeons etc... What I'm trying to say is that, don't generalize Ivy Bridge. In a few weeks or months, Intel will release new set of Pentium processors and new batch of Core i3's based on Ivy architecture.

The reason why I did this short review is because, I want to see what is really the fuss about Ivy bridge heat issues. Which I concluded, that as long as you don't do overclocking and over volting, the new Core i5 3570K (based on Ivy) is perfectly SAFE to use 24/7, even using its STOCK cooler.

Ivy Bridge, Sandy Bridge, Prescott, Coppermine, Tualatin, Northwood or whatever that architecture is, if you want to overclock, it is standard that you use a better cooler. Which, 3rd party CPU coolers are widely available these days. Watercooling is NOT necessary. Watercooling is mainly "for show", unique looks. Most of the watercooling guys here will agree to that. Only a few are really using its main purpose which is, Extreme Overclocking. Where you will push to the limit, go beyond spec voltages.

To summarize, Ivy Bridge is again a bit hotter than previous Sandy Bridge. But, it doesn't mean it is unusable in the Philippines. Its temperature is within spec, very normal and its small stock cooler is enough to cool the cores. Anybody even a regular PC user, can buy an Ivy Bridge system and run it for at least 3 years without problems.

And again, watercooling is never a need. It is one of the user's "WANTS".

Thank you and !♥U2.

VERY GOOD REAL WORLD review for IvyB...

if dili lang ta temperature freak...ok ra gyud kaayo na nga mga temp. figures...

less we forget...silicon ceases to act like a semiconductor @ 150C...so safe ra gyud kaayo na nga mga temps...

nice review boss tolits!
