4770 Hot Hot Hot

I wouldn't consider it even if i was a few gens behind. I would rather opt for the 3570k or 3770k. At least they have a higher overclocking potential with the lower heat generation. I know they both are bad for heat but no where near as bad as haswell!

Your overclocked 3770k could probably outlast your 4770k cos you will more than likely be able to clock it higher unless you de-lid it and void the warranty and risk damaging the chip.
 
as per ivy voltages play a big part in heat and what is or isnt possible, stick to under 1.3v and most coolers will be fine, yes like the gen before that the overclock will be higher but the improved efficiency of the chip makes up for that, realistically no improvements have been made to peak performance since sandy

sandy 4.7 = ivy 4.5 = haswell 4.3

and all of those are easily capable with enthusiast grade cooling safe volts and <10 min in the bios yes that equals very little to no progression but did anyone really expect much from this release?
 
Nope, which is why it seems such a con paying over £200 for a cpu thats only 10% faster overall.

The only thing to consider really is if you're willing to stick with a dead end socket or go for the upgradeable path with the motherboard.

Unsuprisingly info on Haswell delidding is a little scarce atm.

it should be the same as 3770k,the same paste and method is used by intel on haswell chips,so I would expect to see similar temp drops once you've removed the lid and replaced the paste underneath

if you can delid it,you'll see around 20c drop,so it would become 70c to 75c

Any ideas if the process for delid will be different for Haswell?.....different location or size of the dye on the chip for example? Has there been any reports of anyone actually delidded a Haswell yet?

Im in 2 minds weather to delid my chip as soon as i get it or slap the mount doom on and see how bad it gets.....but then id probably delid it anyways as lower temps is always better even if the max temp is 85c, if you can get that down to 65c even better

see how it performs first,ill guess at 4.5ghz-4.6ghz without delidding,maybe 4.8-5ghz with a verygood chip with delidding

they should be identical in delidding as the ivybridge,look on youtube to see if anyones done it yet
