Hi all. Going to be aiming for a 4.5-4.6 overclock on a 3570K in one of the above boards. Do you think i will run into any problems with compatibility? I ask because i have seen no reviews of ivybridge overclocking on z68. Oh and if your around Bindi your help would be much appreciated.
Neither board comes with BIOS Flashback so you'll need a Sandy Bridge chip to upgrade the BIOS first. I don't know about overclocking sorry.
There is over 6ghz IB overclock on genez at hwbot.org. i made my small research after gigabyte multiplier story send from my BLADE via tapatalk
I agree with bloody_pete, get the Asus M5G, I have that motherboard and it supports Ivybridge. I have the 3770k and I clocked that very easily to 4.6ghz so with a little more tweaking you might reach that speed.
A lot And it has a lot to do with chip binning. Most will only do 6-6.5. The 7GHz that leaked onto the next in March/April was actually ours on M5G from Feb when the OC guys were testing. Someone leaked our internal test doc Most Z68s will probably not go as far with Ivy than SB.
