Come like 2 weeks I should have enough money for my 3570k! so I may still be on the board ^^ what kind of clocks should I be aiming for with a h60 and good airflow?

Nice one mate, in the UK with that cooler you should be fine running 4.5-4.6GHz as a daily OC and maybe push it a little further for benchmarking and stuff

Good choice! It's hard to tell what your potential may be, but I can tell you for a fact that the Ivy Bridge CPU's made today are superior in some ways to the early models. On first release, the potential was greater for a mediocre chip, and if you got a chip that could reach 4.6+ with good temps you got a good one. Now, as the process has been refined, the potential for a great chip is much higher.

I'd say with that information, unless you just have horrible luck, cooling and motherboard choice will have more of an impact on your overclocking potential than the chip itself. That being said, what kind of motherboard are you looking at?

untill I have the funds for a better board such as a sabertooth.

I think you can forget what I said in my last post with that motherboard mate. Correct me if I am wrong, but the B-series are designed primarily for non K series CPU's and don't really offer much if any Overclocking.

I would strongly advise that you get a Z77 board even if its a cheap one like this - Asus P8Z77-V LX2 Socket 1155 VGA HDMI 8 Channel Audio.. | Ebuyer.com

Yeah I understand that but i'd have to wait/find things to sell to afford that :/

Well if it was me, I would rather wait another month or however long it takes to find another £30 rather than wasting £50+ on a board and then needing to find £80+ to upgrade it.

I know what you are saying, but you will be annoyed at having such a great CPU and not being able to use it properly.

 

[paulpicks21]

To go back to your original question silverstormz,

I just spent a while looking into B75 Motherboards, from what I can gather, even on the best of them you can't really get past around 3.8GHz.
I could not find any information on any form of overclocking on the particular board you linked to.

All I can say really is you can only expect to stay around stock speeds with that board until you upgrade.

I stand by what I said in my last post, but it's your money and that's the best advice I can give mate.

Yeah understood I think I will just save up and I just realised I have a gts 450 in my draw if I sell that+my old cpu/mobo I may be close only problem is transport for the components

I think that's a wise move mate, obviously what I said is just my opinion, others may think differently, but to me it's the sensible and right way to do things.
Good luck with the sale of your stuff, I hope it sells quick for ya.

Paul.

 

[essenbe]

I agree with Paul. As far as the overclocking ability of the B75 boards, I think it is pretty well documented. I hope you stuff sells quickly, and you get a good overclocking board. I think you will be much more satisfied with it.

 

[paulpicks21]

Go in hard or go home! These Ivy's are pretty tough, I still can't blow it up.

It's only fitting seeing as I started the thread to show you all some hardcore overclocking.

Holy smoke Paul nice OC. Shouldn't Kelly be green?

Thanks Doug, and yes, very good point, I didn't notice that, I will alter it now bud

This is Very true

 

[kbrady1979]

I'll go ahead and agree with everybody above. The B series boards are more for business oriented computers, which won't be overclocked. Pretty much any Asus Z77 board will do what you want, so don't waste your cash, save up and buy a good board. Buy once, cry once. And Paul........what are you doin to us bud? LOL

 

[paulpicks21]

And Paul........what are you doin to us bud? LOL

It was just a mild OC Kelly lol.

I actually think I can't get any higher with this CPU, I was aiming for 5.4GHz but after many failed attempts I had to settle for that measly speed

This screenie makes my OC look awesome lol

 

[kbrady1979]

It's a good chip, that's for sure........next thing you know you'll be insulating the socket, chipping off dry ice and turning off 3 of the 4 cores.

Yeah the LN2 is being delivered tomorrow lol.

I don't see the point of that sort of stuff, and using 1 core is cheating in my books!
