Ivy or sandy? I7 or I5??

LOL at no performance difference...guess all those comparisons were made up? Sure, it's not a huge gain, but clock for clock IB is better. That's been stated over and over.

Overclocking CPU/GPU/Memory Stability Testing Guidelines

Also, don't forget after running these tests to check your event viewer for any critical errors that these tests aren't reporting. Don't want a silent corruption :)

Some questions about stability testing

Check your event viewer. I bet you're not good. You probably have a ton of WHEA 19 errors. 10 passes of IBT really isn't much and neither is 4 hours of P95. That barely got 1/6th into the tests it runs. Don't be surprised if you get a random BSOD.

If anyone wonders if the IHS and bad TIM are why IB can't be cooled. (hint, yes)

It makes me wonder if the TIM is fine, but the IHS sucks?

Exactly. But when he went bare die, he got roughly 15.75C better, so that's a big improvement.

IB owners, read this

This wasn't my chip, it was the guy from that thread. He already RMA'd the chip and is waiting on the new one to show up. Why would Intel tell him the chip is bad if it's the motherboard? Either way, something to watch for.

Ivy Bridge Results and Discussion thread

To me, peak is one of those occurances where it can hit that, but the chances are extremely low. I figure on gaming I'll be in low 60s to mid 50s. I can definitely live with that. And, I would de-lid if I felt comfortable with it...but I don't. I know myself and I would definitely screw it up haha

Ivy Bridge Results and Discussion thread

Naw, those mid 80s were just peak points. It was average in the low 70s. I can handle that if that's at full load :D. On idle I was hitting roughly 23-30C. Not too shabby.

Ivy Bridge's heat problem is indeed caused by Intel's TIM choice

Check out this guy's thread. He has a video and tons of screenshots. He replaced the TIM with MX4....

IB owners, read this

I'm waiting on Intel to tell me if their test is faulty or if I have a bad chip. They're looking over the test results. At stock, I failed the bclk test which IMO shouldn't happen. I'll keep y'all updated.

Some errors will tell you directly if it's an error with the CPU or not

Same. I'm still working on fixing them anyway. Don't want random BSOD's cause of stupid files.

Yeah, i have a ticket in with Intel right now about failing the bclk test at stock. They said they don't know of IPDT not being compatible with IB, but they're looking into it and will let me know. BTW, there will be some errors that are ignore-able in the event viewer. I've found quite a bit...
