I seen several Ivy Bridge articles by now, and I did notice that most of them can go higher OC with less voltage. I have my i5 3570k at 4.4ghz and it's only stable with 1.36 Vcore! I tried for 4.5ghz first but its not stable unless I go 1.420V + so it's out of the question I guess. Anyway 4.4ghz and 1.36V was stable for 12 hours on prime95 without any problems my temps on idle are 20-30c and on prime low 80's is that okay or should I go for lower OC 4.3 or 4.2?

Here is my computer spec:

CPU: i5 3570k (Revision E1/L1 if that means something)
CPU Cooler: 212 Plus with 2x 120mm Aerocool Shark Fans
MOBO: Asus Sabertooth Z77
CASE: Xpredator Evil Black Edition
RAM: G.SKILL F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 PC3-14900 1866MHZ SNIPER SERIES
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7850
Hard Drive: OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS 120GB

Please some advise. Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance.

Ivy tends to get hot, its not like Sandy. It also dosnt overclock as good. I would say 1.36v is a little high and temps are also little high.

I would say keep it around 1.3v and 70-75c max load.

My 2500k is at 4.8ghz 1.4v and still cooler than your 3570k.

Thank you for your quick reply so I guessed right, I should drop my OC cause I can't get it 24/7 stable at 4.4 with less voltage...
I'm gonna give it a try at @ 4.3 with 1.32Vcore and see if it is stable
