Posted January 5, 2013 I wanted to let everyone know that i am turning to intel after being with AMD for quite a while, currently i have a X2 545 unlocked to a X4 B45 and this will now be a 3570k, what a really what to know is people's opinions on the 3570k overclocked on a h80i or something equivalent. thanks guys :) PC Specs: CPU: i5 4670K 4.5 GHz | CPU COOLER: H80i | GPU:EVGA GTX 780Ti | Motherboard: MSI Z87I | Case: Bitfenix Prodigy | RAM: 8GB Avexir Venom | HDD: Seagate 1TB , 60GB Agility 3 | Monitor: 32" HD TV (LOL) | PSU: Corsair 750W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 5, 2013 The title makes it seem as this shocking thing like going to war or something lol. on an H80i with an ambient of about 20 I'd expect to get roughly a 4.5 Ghz overclock with 60-65 digress centigrade on the CPU.

Posted January 5, 2013 A lot of reviews show the H80i outperforming the kraken x40 and both cost the same. My build : Glamor Shot. Intel & AMD, Architectural Discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 5, 2013 The 3570K is a great overclocking chip, runs a little hotter than SB, but difference is fairly minimal. As above, if your case can accommodate it, get the Kraken X60, or the X40. Both out perform the Hydro Series H80i. As for what you could expect, people have easily been getting 4.2 - 4.5 Ghz, somewhere in that ballpark. Enjoy it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 5, 2013 3570k's OC really well, even on cheap air cooling. I got mine to 4.3 ghz with no voltage increase and now it's at 4.5ghz prime95 stable for over 18 hours with a Thermalright Hr-02 Macho. It's a beastly cpu. Well worth the extra over the amd chips.

Posted January 5, 2013 If I was you I would wait for Haswell if you can as it would be a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 5, 2013 If I was you I would wait for Haswell if you can as it would be a better choice. But it's not going to be all that much of an improvement, and the 22nm architecture does not OC as well as the 32nm one, due to the decreased surface area.

Posted January 5, 2013 Author NZXT Kraken is a good option for that CPU if you wanna overclock... Linus did a video on it ( ) i was thinking of getting the kraken but the H80i seems to have a thicker rad probably twice as thick as the x40 and right now it isn't on sale in the UK and i really cant be bothered to wait, i am the sort of person who wants it there and then and if pc world has it in stock i will pay that extra £10 -£15 just so i can get it the same day XD.

Posted January 6, 2013 Grats! I just turned from 8120 to 3570k aswell and the performance increase and quality of the CPU in general was amazing. Got mine at 4.5GHz on 1.25v and it rips apart anything i throw at it. Best wishes - cheti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the die size will most likely increase in Haswell, therefore making your argument invalid.

Posted January 6, 2013 +1 for waiting for Haswell.
