DinoPC Predator Extreme 3570K OC Review (4.7GHz i5 3570K / GTX 670 OC)

The main, or M.I.T., page of Gigabyte's 3D BIOS relays information regarding the current BCLK, CPU and memory frequencies. CPU temperature, voltages and memory size are also outlined.

Moving into the ‘M.I.T. Current Status' tab allows us to view a more in-depth analysis of the chief system information.

DinoPC has made full use of Gigabyte's impressive Z77X-UD3H motherboard, overclocking the Core i5 3570K CPU to a whopping 4.7GHz. A multiplier of 47x combines with the 100.05MHz BCLK frequency to reach this dizzying height.

Turbo Boost is disabled, with preference being made for a high static overclock.

DinoPC uses a very high CPU Vcore voltage of 1.400V to ensure maximum stability. While this setting may be rapidly approaching the lofty heights of Ivy Bridge's ‘safe' operational voltage limit, we have the utmost of faith in the Corsair H100's heat dissipation abilities.

The majority of power and voltage control settings are kept at their ‘Auto' configuration. This shows that the DinoPC engineers have confidence in Gigabyte's default tuning capabilities.

Voltages, temperatures and even fan speeds are publicized on the ‘PC Health Status' page. Users can tailor the fan speed and warning settings to suit their own personal preference.

DinoPC pre-configures the boot device settings to allow for a hassle-free first-use procedure; no changing of the primary boot device is required.

  1. One of my drive bays snapped too 🙁

  2. Nice selection of components. those graphics cards are wicked. nice selection. Id still rather build one myself however, even if it cost more. Good option for the punters who dont want to build their own.

  3. Can you ever go wrong with a Corsair H100 at the heart of a system? im shocked they set the profile to the top however, its really very loud at that setting and I wouldnt use it. the middle option is my choice. it varies but doesnt quite hit the same speeds.

  4. I work for a competitor. All I can say if that’s the best cable management you’ve seen, you haven’t seen ours. Also we ship that particular case with a full system inside and have never had one arrive at our customers damaged in such a way.
