Ok guy's if you have an Ivy Bridge-E or just want to discuss them this is the place.

I haven't had mine long but it's looking good so far, heres a few benchmarks I just ran.

I'm using a single stage phase cooler so I can't comment on temps.

Maybe better suited in the clubhouse sub-forum? :toast:
 
Subbed, looking forward to sweet results.

Will be hard to make me move from a 5,2 GHz 3930K!
 
My goal is to go IV-E so I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's results!
 
Looks good so far. It'll be nice to see the power consumption and temperature differences compared to SB-E once the reviews start coming out. Still want an 8 core Haswell-E but those probably won't exist for quite a while. :)
 
Looking good there MetalRacer :toast:

Just played BF3 for two hours with this 4960X at 4,7 GHz with 1,52 vcore :twitch: and maks core-temp was 61C, memory at 2666 MHz 9-11-11-31 1T :)
 
How hard have you guys pushed the IMC? 2800ish possible?
 
Subbed. Very interested how the 4930k will scale with cold! Looks amazing so far.
 
How is the 0020 bios treating you MetalRacer?
Getting higher clocks with less vcore?

I need to pic up an SS unit from what I can see, my 4960X likes vcore still. I got a huge wall at 4,5 GHz which only need 1.25 vcore but I need 1.52 vcore for 4,7 GHz.

Testing the 0020 bios now, and from what I can see it's better for memory tweaking.
 
How are the temperatures on air/water? Because my 3960x runs 5.2 benching runs on water with no heat issues. Also do these use same voltage for higher clocks or same voltage for same clocks or worse?

First bios I tested on my Rampage IV Extreme(4401) I needed 1,52 vcore @ 4.7 GHzto get into win7 now with this 0020 I only need 1.3 vcore. Temps are no problem even with 1.52V I only hit like 65C max in Realtemp and CoreTemp with my water cooling setup.

So it's way cooler than SB-E :toast:

The 0020 is looking good so far and I like the Asus Turbo V Core utility also.

Getting higer clocks with less voltage for sure.

An SS unit is nice and convenient, I think 5.4 with HT is going to be the max benchable with the 0020 and the SS unit.

This is as low as I could get the vcore @5.0 GHz.

Hi MetalRacer

Just curious what version of AIsuite is that Asus Turbo V Core utility ?
 
Hi MetalRacer

Just curious what version of AIsuite is that Asus Turbo V Core utility ?

It's a stand alone utility so it's not included with the AIsuite, as far as I know it only works with the M6E and R4E.
 
Any stability testing?

Did you buy that chip or its selected from intel?

from all the reviews i was a but skeptical towards inv-e but these screens are awesome
 
Just testing, still on water

I still haven't seen it covered in any reviews, is memory clocking better now?
 
Well it came in at about the performance expected: somewhere between Sandy-E and Haswell. So thats a good thing, because that means overclock-ability and all the fun of x79.
