How Hot Is Haswell E ?

Just wondering how hot Haswell E gets, compared to Sandy bridge & Ivy bridge ?

I have 2 PC's,

One on Sandy bridge (2600k) and the other on Ivy bridge (3570)

When I run both of these systems using prime 95, the Ivy bridge system runs approx 20oc hotter (70oc) than my Sandy bridge system (50oc) at stock speeds.

Was just wondering where Haswell E will be, compared to these two systems ?

Can't speak for the smaller hex cores but the 8 core 5960 is a very hot chip. Anything above 1.3v needs a reasonable custom loop as a minimum. Looking at 75-80c even on decent cooling.

Compare that to my 4960 @ at as much as 1.5v which is a huge amount of voltage for that chip on water, which would barely scrape 70c.
 
Surely they're not as bad as bog standard haswell. 90's at stock in stress tests is normal on theese even on wc.
 
I've only just got my 5960x up and running. Done a mild OC to 4Ghz @1.25v. Temps in Prime 95 large FFT test hardly go above 60C.

I'm using a H110 with Noctua NF-A14 fans in push only right now.

Considering its a 5960x,that temp seems pretty decent to me.

I know its early days yet, but still pretty promising, none the less :)

Pull the other one. I won't refute you, but go and look at all the reviews lol...


Not to mention this very thread:

The 5960x definitively benefited from water cooling with 4.2-4.3ghz being possible on water with 3.5 uncore. The volts I could use on water where 1.2 core, 1.2 cache with temps topping out at 78C.

If I was using programs that used the chip to its potential then I'd be happy with that personally. Very :cool: setup.

Only thing I do that's intensive is the odd DVD conversion so can't really justify the upgrade, my current one is pretty damn good at it! (and ConvertXtoDVD can only use 8 threads max) :)
 
Went for 4.3 at 1.27v.

Maxed out at 84C after 30 minutes of blend. I'll take that for now. Perhaps I'll look at a decent triple rad setup later on.
 
I am planning to watercool everything, 2 loops.
North bridge, ram and cpu on one 360 push/pull and 2 gpu's and south brudge on 2 360s push pull.
I hope that's enough :-)
