PC GPU died, need help with what to go for next

[Dhalmel]

100% on the above comments, my only pondering is in favour of the SB over Ivy but I Oc and Ivy is a fair bit warmer once the volts start flowing.
Not sure which way i would go if i was building one today, but i think SB still.

Yeah IB is warmer, but anything below 85'c~90'c is fine. IB can take the higher temps. This OC temp issue maybe fixed in a future revision due to tri gate transistor manufacturing need to mature and Intel using a real flux solder to the IHS and cpu die, not cheap TIM.


My 3770k tops at 75'c in normal use @ 4.5GHz. Prime95 pushes it to 84~86'c with small size FFTs, during a 48 hour stress test.
