4770 Hot Hot Hot

[vonex]

think i'll stick with my 3770k will never buy another intel cpu with thermal paste on the dye.

Reported Haswell heat reminds me of Prescott.

yeah the fat sweaty git, he couldnt wear a tie and a belt together or he'l turn into sausages

You can delid and it knocks loads off of the temps

Removing any warranty?

i7 3770k's in general seem to run a bit cooler than recent 3570k's, despite the fact that the former uses ht that will generate a bit more heat. Just purchased a 3770k on members market so it should be interesting to see the difference compared to my 3570k.

yeah 0 warranty,

@ setter im glad you picked one up,i saw you missed out on one yesterday

Do it well and itll not get picked up on... shhhh!!

Was one from delpy8 that ive bought, literally just a few minutes ago. Tbh it is very much needed, the 3570k is quite a bottleneck with sli'd gtx 670's. Seeing a max of 80% gpu usage per card, should be a lot higher with the new chip. Noticed pretty much the same by disabling ht on my old i7 920 with sli'd gtx 470's.

just take care in not killing it now

this hammer and vice method im seeing seems a decent way

I have to wonder...is Intel delibrately crappy out of the quality of the TIM they use and make temp higher to shorten the life-span, kinda like electronic manufacturers don't make appliances as high build quality and durable as the old days...so people need to replace them when they died (outside of warranty)?

Looks like I'm keeping the 2500k for a while, It does the job and clocks well, Hope they bring out something that really is a big leap soon

Can't wait to get my 4670k, I expect to be disappointed
Got a custom loop, so I'll see how it handles.

If you want to go commando ocuk sell spacers which low you to place your waterblock directly onto cpu die cost about 3 quid. Just check that its auitable for haswell first as it was designed for IB but I can't see there being any issues.

Could be to do with 3770k's perhaps being slightly better binned than 3570k's, my 3770k needs a little less voltage for stability at 4.5 GHz compared to my 3570k, resulting in reduced temps. That's only an idea however, and of course with the silicone lottery there will be 3570k's that overclock better than 3770k's (and hence lower temps at the same clock) but I wouldn't be surprised if 3770k's overclocked slightly better on average.

Very true, my current 3570k is a pretty decent chip. Maxes at 75c under ibt, only changing it out as i need the extra grunt from a 3770k to help with sli in bf3, and later bf4. Bf3 does make a good use of ht, even more so in an sli setup.

Isnt there a possibility that the pcb could snap in half when whacked with the wood though? An whats the best method many tiny little taps or a few heavy handed ones?

I have one of those Hot Air Station bit of kits, im wonder if setting the temp on that to about 80c, placing the chip i a vice and just blasting the IHS to soft the glue then tap it with the wood/hammer method

stop the press, cpu gets hot when running prime95 stress/torture test.

Just take your time with a Stanley knife blade. Loosen corners first then do the sides.

Point is that although you'd expect the CPU to get comparatively hot when stress testing, it should not be reaching 90-100C at 4.7 GHz with a H100 when running P95. It shows Intel are still using crappy TIM on Haswell as they did with Ivybridge.

idk ive never tried the hammer method,everything looks nice and simple till you come to actually doing it

the knife on one corner and plastic spreader for the rest was the way I did mine
