I5 3570k - Highest Overclock on Stock Cooler?

[noob2222]

how many benchamrk did it take to find that one. the one that is completely wrong and doesnt even have a constant ambient temperature. also any benchmark that shows the 212 evo better then the noctua nh-d14 is completely and utterly WRONG. that is not the case. the 212 is 10*c hotter in my experience.

they could have had a bad mount on the d14, seeing as the c14 was cooler, who knows what the discrepency was. Point is $100 doesn't 100% guarantee you a better experience.

a whopping 6C for $70 ... is it worth it?

This isn't even the same as overclocking Ivy Bridge.

even with water loops, ivy can't reach much past 4.6 ghz, spending $70-$170+ more won't get you very far. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-a-pc-overclock-benchmark,3276-5.html

other than that the stock cooler sucks, always at the bottom of all cooler reviews.

the hyper 212 gives u 85% of a 100$ cooler or close to it, def worth the money, of course if u wanna go for crazy ocs go for the higher end one, but for most moderate overclocks the hyper 212 is great.

here is what you are missing. you are correct the 212 gives you 85% of the performance at stock clocks. the higher your overclock the bigger the separation between the two. btw the noctua is consider the top of the line cooler and DONT cost 100 dollars. dont know where you got that.

 

[iceclock]

with taxes its 100$, and yeah its one of the top of the line, except now u can get inclosed water cooling systems such as:

and the antec kuhler:

http://pcpartpicker.com/ca/part/antec-cpu-cooler-kuhlerh2o920

for 90$ witch perform close too or better than the noctua dh-14

also these are slimmer and less huge as the noctua dh-14 ive owned one before and let me tell u there massive.

The water cooling solutions tend to be a lot noisier when they are operating at full speed.

 

[cbrunnem]

haha i have every single cooler that we have talked about. im giving real personal experience. the 212 is ten hotter the nh-d14 and the nh-d14 is 5-10 hotter then a real water cooling system.

im out. feel free to say that the 212+ is basically equal to the nh-d14. its not. if someone is looking a medium overclock for cheap the 212 is the right cooler. if someone is looking for a real overclock then it isnt.

u can overclock a sandybridge above 4.2 gigahertz on a hyper 212 evo no prob dude,

no need to say u need 100$ heatsink to achieve this, and in a real world situation no one needs more than 4.2 gigahertz tbh, and if they do theres server motherboards and octo-cores for the one who can afford such luxuries

you can get a 4.5 on a sandy bridge cpu on the 212 anything over that and you are getting too hot but with the nh-d14 i was able to get 4.8 with the same temps. you are at about 75*c though with an i7. on an ivy bridge you are looking more at the 4.3 before your temps are getting too hot.

that is with i7s though as that is my experience. we are basically saying the same thing but to a different degree.

 

[iceclock]

i agree with u, just saying not everyone has 100$ to spare on a cooler 😛

$90.99 normally used to be $95 not that long ago.

if you have SB, sure you can get a better oc with the noctua, and up to 5.2 ghz on water isn't unheard of

Ivy is different all together.

4.6 ghz with a $25 92mm cheapo heatsink. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-a-pc-overclock-benchmark,3276-5.html

people are lucky to get 4.7 to 4.8 ghz with a good water loop.

Heat transfer of copper is constant, no matter who makes the cpu heatsink.

The copper baseplate simply can't spread the heat fast enough to let the rest of the heatsink work the way it can for sandy bridge.

So what does a $80 (on sale) heatsink get you vs a $25 heatsink with ivy? is it worth 100 mhz?

 

[iceclock]

nope ...

Yep. But really 7 months is nothing. Wait until you get one 3 or 4 years old.

heat transfer in copper isnt constant...... just saying.

also its not just 100mhz now its 100,200,500 mhz down the road with new cpus that come out. you typically dont have to replace a high end heat sink very often.

30 degrees idle is kind of shitty...I use 3570k with stock and i get 25 degrees idle. Maybe try reapplying the thermal paste?

 

[pell380]

my i5 2500k with INTEL STOCK COOLER
idles at 30 to 33 Celsius
and up till now i haven't seen temps on load more then 75 Celsius

 

[pell380]

it lot's depend upon room in winter temp's are low 😀

The Stock Bios that comes with a mother board via the Settings of the i5 3570K cpu are set to a list I will provide right below.

Recommended for the Average family/lazy/noobs, that never clean their pc, and or live in a hot/warm area/house.
The Bios is set to underclock at Idle so your temp drops.

Recommendations for the Average cold house users.
Disable the underclocking in Bios.

Recommendations for the Average pc user, who has a somewhat cold house and cleans their pc often.
Keep the CPU Turbo on.

If you want to Overclock, I recommend at the very least to get a stronger fan.
Up to 4.2 ghz

get a better fan and heatsink, and you can overclock to 4.5 ghz easy, if your an expert with Temps, and have good fans.. you should go to 4.8 ghz.

Max Case Temp 67.4°C. / Not Fahrenheit. 68c = 154 F
Keep the temps Under 55C for the best Electricity bill.
Keep the Temps under 60C if you Still want the best life expectancy out of your pc.
Keep the temps under 67.4C , Pc will Run somewhat Safely at this temp, but You will be shortening the life span on your CPU greatly.
If you reach 72C . This is a bad zone,and your CPU chip is at risk, and may explode, like a bomb...

This is basic common knowledge about cpu's.
You can look up cpu specs here.
http://ark.intel.com/products/65520

Not sure what these other People are talking about saying 100C
Fore sure the CPU would explode by 80C
Atleast to my knowledge anyways.
