Is this a good 3570k?

Hardware Hub Overclocking
1

Hey tek people haha. I got my 3570k to 4.4ghz today at a 1.2 vcore. I later got it to 4.7 ghz with a 1.35 vcore. Did I "win the silicon lotery" or what?

Can it pass a 24 hour Prime95 small FFT torture run?

if ur oc for gaming its gonna be good oc speed... watch stability and temps, running air or liquid coooled?

4

And don't say liquid if you're running a closed loop system. I'm guessing this is either air or a closed loop system. If it was 4.9Ghz or higher then I would say it's a custom water loop.

5

i asked him it in a GENERAL sense and technically it could be a custom liquid loop and still be at 4.7 with 1.35v on core... the difference from 4.7-4.9 doesnt necessarily determine if its a closed loop or a custom loop. 

6

I'm not saying it does. I'm just saying what my assumptions would be. Calm down, bro. U mad?

Read the rules, this ain't 4chan.

Corsair h100 right? Look at his profile specs before.

8

Yes h100 sorry took so long. It is pretty stable I ran prime for 5 hours and temps at 4.7 didn't go over 86c. I also ordered a custom loop last night so air will be interesting to see how much of a difference it makes.

I actually looked again and it's at a 1.34 vcore I read out wrong haha

10

What parts are you getting for your loop? It should make a pretty significant difference in temperatures. I'd say you're probably going to see at least a 15-20C difference.

im getting an rs360 kit and an ex120 just the rad 

12

That should be more than enough just for the CPU.

13

Sweet :)

14

What coolant are you going to be using? I would personally only recommend either distilled water or ice dragon coolant. The only reason I recommend Ice Dragon is because it's the only coolant that is cooler than water right now. It will get about 5C cooler than water.

15

I just ordered the xspc stuff with the kit. will there be a big difference between it and distilled water? and if so how much? sorry I took so long been a little busy

16

Ok I just read up on coolant and I'm not going to use the xspc stuff because i really dont want to have to pull my blocks and stuff apart. Is there any dies that are good or can I just use food coloring as a die? thanks

We are getting off topic, I'm going to start a new thread
