    TIM is Behind Ivy Bridge Temperatures After All

    I can say that the tim under the ihs is the main reason for high temps. With ihs i never would push 1.44 V on core cause temps would go fastly above 100 °C. Without ihs they are at 73°C and that is similary like other cpus i had (q9550, i7 920, i7 950, i7 2700k) I dont think replacing cooler...

    TIM is Behind Ivy Bridge Temperatures After All

    Hahahahaa ! I sucessfully shaved IHS off from my 3570k. Removed socket holder and directly mounted the Heatkiller waterblock on it ! I now have 15 °C better Temps ! Before i had 4,6 Hhz @ 1.32 V @ 80°C Now i have the same config @ 65 °C. So its a nice drop !!!:)

    PSU suggestion

    Im in Germany, it costs 100 Euro for me. My current PSU is an Enermax 1250W Revolution85+ in my gaming Rig......so it would be much more expensive to replace that.

    PSU suggestion

    The thing is, that i want a good PSU because im checking if Hardware(maybe broken) is working. So i have to thrust in this PSU 100 % that it works and can´t be the problem itself. Budget i thought is in the Range 60-100 $, as cheaper then better but it has to work.

    PSU suggestion

    Arctic Reveals the Accelero Xtreme III VGA Cooler

    This thing is only cooling the the GPU directly. Rams and PWM stay "nacked" and are only cooled by the airflow ? Is this enough, or will they "die" faster ?

    MSI Radeon HD 7970 Lightning Overclocked to 1800 MHz Core, 7.70 GHz Memory

    I also would prefer 24/7 clock limits. What is the sense of showing the reachable power with LN ? No one needs this info ?
