I wanna know what this new tim is? can only be tighter tollerences between ihs and the die?
Caporegime
Probably a better formulation??

Quite interested in what the new TIM is too, maybe theyve been in touch with the guys at coollaboratory.

So the average OC clocks might go up by 100-200Mhz at best due to the new TIM?
This is fairly yawn.

Boring for most but i am not sure what else people are expecting from a Haswell refresh.

Actually this is more than I was expecting, kudos to Intel for listening to the concerns of the overclocking community!

Looking forward to what this brings!! My wife will actually shoot me if I decide to upgrade again, only just finished my mATX Parvum build!!

X99 is the way to go, well for me that is.
I am on a x79 mobo with a sandy-e namely a 3960X 2011 pin, anything else right now is actually a downgrade.

Lower Price
That would be a shock.

I think you guys should read this, looks like 8 series motherboards may not be supported by the Haswell refresh, Intel are not saying yes or no yet, but it also states in the review that from what they could see of the back of the CPU, they could see the pin layout was different to current Haswell CPU's

I'd be surprised if they didn't work on current socket 1150 boards.
When the Haswell refresh rumours first came, they were adamant "NEEDS Z97" (While I was saying that this ALWAYS happens, and it's likely just scaremongering)
Then came the "WORKS ON Z97 and Z87" (I lol'ed)
And now we've gone back to the "NEEDS Z97"
However, fun fact, check some recent BIOS updates, what do they say? ;
Soldato
Yeah I just updated my hero for 4th gen support so they must work on Z87, it would be ridiculous if they did not run on the same socket. And if they do not run then **** you Intel.

Bios version 1.2 for my Z87M Gaming was released on 26th February and has support for Haswell refresh processors.
Don't think I will be getting rid of my 4770K though unless there are noticeable gains to be had.

This is good news if Z87 defo supports the new chips. Especially if the die and hs have better thermal capabilities possibly leading to better and more consistent overclocking capability. I have a decent 4770k, but I might be tempted to pick 1 of the new chips up, if reviews seem favourable. Selling 4770K would pay for most of the "upgrade".
