Ivy bridge heat problems explained?

[Ghosthud1]

I have been coming across alot of posts and articles rumouring that the heat issues surrouding ivy bridge is down to some decisions that intel have made.

Basically the heat issues are rumoured to be a problem associated with intels way of attaching the IHS to the CPU cores, or its down to ivy bridges power density which tom explained clearly in his review, it could be a mixture of the two.

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]So why is Ivy Bridge hot?[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Intel is using TIM paste between the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) and the CPU die on Ivy Bridge chips, instead of fluxless solder.[/font]​

​

Speculation has rumoured that retail CPU's will feature the use of the fluxless solder and will be alot cooler than there engineering sample counter parts.

A video of a guy butchering a 3570k which is apparently already dead, you can clearly see intel have opted for TIM instead of fluxless solder, the 3570k in the video is an engineering sample.

Tell me what you guys think, i just dont know to think now

I was going to link to the other thread on it but it seems to have disappeared....

I think Intel have let themselves down though

If the retail versions are the same that is.

EDIT

Found the other thread

I do not think retail samples will be any different. That doesn't mean I'm not getting one, though.

oops, i just dont pay attention to the news section

You should watch toms review of the 3770k, he explains it perfectly :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9685x0ORYjI&list=UU_SN80_V2GymyCWM2oTYTeg&index=3&feature=plcp

Enjoy

This news is only a few days old so Tom wouldn't have known about it.

What Tom explained was a different thing, he thought, as well as many others, that it was the power density.

This news gives a different reason though

It sure is

How safe would it be to stick heatsink right on the die there ???

Im sure that would bring down the temps a bit.....

Apparently it's what some people have been doing, I haven't seen ay temp results posted anywhere though.

As for how safe it is, I have no idea but I would have thought that overtightening the heatsink, even by a little bit, could do some damage. I could be wrong though, don't really know enough to give a clear answer on it.

 

[Ghosthud1]

Every CPU that has used the TIM IHS method have had there IHS removed, it's been like that since......ever?

And Flux, your a truly intelligent young chap for not reading my entire post

Just really? i had to quote that, shocking!

Edit:

I apologize profoundly for this post. I was really drunk and posted in the wrong thread.

I'm also sorry about the language.

Jesus Fuck! Could you guys just at least try to be less abusive on this board?

I don't even want my questions answered in this thread.

Who lit the fuse on your tampon! i clearly stated that i have watched tom's review?!

I would happily accept the retard badge if i did the same thing lol!

It's all just banter anyways, hopefully you will get to grips with it!

You thought that was abusive? Wow, wait till you get to know.. well.. life! ;')

Nah really though, he could've been 'nicer' but it's not that bad tbh lol

Double standard's much.

Also way to go abusing the new members on the forums, have fun with that, since "oops, i just dont pay attention to the news section" . People came into your thread to answer your question, be it their answer was wrong or right and you act like that. You could have been polite about it and corrected people like SieB did, thanks Sieb.

 

[Ghosthud1]

I was going to type a big response but then i noticed how pointless it would be, if i offended you then im sorry i will happily apologise!

Now lets not make a job for the mods.........:/

P.S the other thread started with some bom bom bom shite as the title...............

A bit more info here if any 1 wants a read.

I think im still going to order my Ivy Bridge tomorrow regardless & when the "Tock" comes out ill upgrade to it if better at overclocking & less heat that is....

Good read, Temps are worse with the IHS removed,,, Its a Flop........
