i7 2600k Review

Review i7 2600k, Biostar TP67XE, dan GTX 580 Black Ops Super Clock

basically creating intel LGA 1155 LGA 1156 as a replacement series of previous

generations, as 2nd Generation 32nm based, TS test processor type highest in its class with standard clock which can reach 3.4 GHz to 3.8 GHz frequency turbo, with a standard voltage, 25 v, this processor can be unlocked and overclocked to more than 5 GHz just by using Air Cooling, TS has been tested up to 5.2 GHz, but TS this time limit only OC to 4.8 Ghz for the efficiency of the voltage and wattage. (There are some tests which use the 4 GHz & 5.02 GHz)
Latest Features (production intelligence):
1. Automatic speed boost you need it Pls
2. 4 - and 8-way multi-task processing lets you get more done faster

3. Stunning and seamless visual experience a built-in
4. Higher frequency and larger cache size for even faster multitasking

TS testing the mainboard with Price / Performance TP67XE best who also has received awards overclocking, still based dual channel, which supports SLI or ATI CF, with one of the distinguished according to the standard memory QVL namely G-Skill 17 600 GBPIS please note, DDR3 memory at 2200 Downgrade to 2133 in this test, there are several tests which reduces the voltage of memory, but the TS test with the same memory voltage.
Bios was also quite friendly, making it easier for beroverclocking ria, TS was surprised, raised procie to 4.5 Ghz so easily, just 1.26 v.

GTX 580 Series Black Ops
This is one of a set of VGA SC issued by EVGA, with Carriage in the 797 MHz clock, at 1.08 v, VGA is also quite good for overclocking, and some testing, its performance can be 20% better than the standard GTX 580, and fan can unlock up to 100%, but this time for testing the TS using the Auto mode to default and 85% of Max for OC Fan Rotation Mode.
Keep in mind SLI testing has not been done, and the driver is currently also still not perfect so the results are still less than the maximum.
TS test with multiple test namely:
- The default mode is All default, no overclocking, no turbo test
- Overclock Mode @ 4.8 GHz, 1.4 v, memory Clock 2133 7-10-10-28, 1.65 v, VGA OC to 945/1203, 1.14 v

Tools are in use:
1. 3D Mark 2011
2. Sisoft Sandra
3. PCMark
4. HD Tune
5. 3D Mark Vantage
6. Mafia II at 1920x1080 60 Hz (Without PhysX and use PhysX)
7. Windows Experience Index
8. DirectX 10 Crysis Warhead enthusiast 3X @ Map: Ambush @ 0 1920 x 1080 AA 4x (Without PhysX Card GTX 275)
9. OCCT and Intel Burning Test

Test with:
- Intel i7 2600k
- Biostar TP67XE
- Black Ops GTX 580 and GTX 275 Super clocked as PhysX Card
- G. Skill 17600CL7D
- Spire Thermax Eclipse II
- Intel SSD Raid 0 X-25
- Corsair 850w
- Windows 7 64 Bit

Overclock Testing Results
OC results are stable with OCCT for 1 hour, the temperature ranges from 55-68 degrees full load, idle Ranging from 29-35 degrees, with room temperature 27 degrees Celsius.

IBT
1. HD Tune
2. Windows Exp Index
3. 3D Mark Vantage
4. PC Mark

Conclusion While:
Excess i7:
- Power Save
- Ease Overclock to 5.2 Ghz only wear Water Cooling
- Default Standard Clock is high (3.4 GHz) with up to 3.8 GHz Turbo
- Mobo cheaper than 1366
- Quite cool even in full load over clock
- Supports memory up to 2500Mhz OC

Minus:
- Still Dual Channel
- Only 4 Core / 8
- Rates are still relatively expensive compared to AMD
