Devil chips have better cooling?

So, I was reading up on my devils chip and it states they've designed it to run cooler allowing bigger overclocks..

This is not the case for my chip, If anything it runs hotter than my gen 3 did.

1.1V under prime it can peak to 62c. At such a low voltage how does this give me any room of getting 4.5ghz without slapping that 70c in the face.

Keeping in mind am running a duel thick rad with 4 fans on it, a D5 waterpump and a EK cpu block....
 
They are binned 4770Ks so they haven't been "designed", just cherry picked off the conveyor belt for good electrical properties.

Also it's sweltering today...
 
they have had extra components soldered on the underside of the cpu,this supposed to help with extra power delivery and raise the oc headroom by 200mhz

aswell as revised power regulation

EDIT: use latest mb bios as stock bios's usually overvolt the cpu a lot

Like wazza says the package has also had a redesign and they have enabled some extra features (on top of the dies being cherry picked).
 
But they were also marketted as havin some next gen TIM, which would significantly reduce the temps. This is blatantly not the case and Intel should be asked to explain themselves on that issue!
 
Imho this next gen TIM is a myth, you still have to delid if you want big oc's capable of running certain programs.

Not sure there are any extra features. Just a speed bump, better power delivery and supposed better tim. Other than that they are just the same as 4770 chips as far as I'm aware.

Taken from http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Processors/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-Devils-Canyon-Review-and-Overclocking

It's even shown that these features are now enabled on the intel page. Really don't know why intel would disable them in the first place on k CPU's.

Another interesting change is that both the Core i7-4790K and the Core i5-4690K enable support for both Intel's VT-d virtualization IO technology and Intel's TSX-NI transactional memory instructions. This makes them the first enthusiast-grade unlocked processors from Intel to support them!

you can see the extra capacitors,whether they share the same core/pcb idk but they are different
 
Better TIM (turns out it's not a huge amount better, but still marginally better).

Added some power circuitry that's above my understanding, but I'm guessing it's for enhanced overclocking and stability.

Addition instruction sets added.

And finally as other have mentioned the 4790ks are cherry picked 4770ks. Meaning the better produced (as in can hit 4.4ghz turbo and beyond).

That's it really, not worth upgrading from a 4770k really!
 
the improved tim is bull from what ive seen,and they would have to be the best chips to run 4ghz and boost to 4.4ghz

only intel knows for sure,but its not too much trouble to solder on a few extra capacitors and revise the power delivery,i think its this that's helped run better clocks and cooler temps,not new paste
 
improved tim pfft DELID is the future :) lol i knocked off 20+c load temps doing it :P
its swealtering hot in this room and im hitting 4.8 at just over 70c :) forgot to say that was with IBT :)
