Done like a pro
Well I'm being honest, when I first tried mx-4 and saw the temps go up it was facepalm time, then when I saw the results with liquid pro felt like going on a bender.

Ivy Bridge Temperatures Could Be Linked To TIM Inside Integrated Heatspreader: Report

The IHS is made from Nickel plated Copper as far as I know.
Thought they switched it out for steel?

I've no idea, I've only tried it with mx-4 and liquid pro.

Doesn't matter if it's conductive, the actual core is coated in something.

Yeah, I'm inclined to say that IC Diamond is a bad idea because of that.
Well since I won't be doing it until I make a custom waterloop late next year or in 2014. I guess I'll probably buy some new TIM (liquid pro probably would be the best to use) Don't suppose you could make a small guide for removing the IHS + applying the TIM etc. I know it's probably simple and such but it's always nice to have a guide line xD
theres a video guide on youtube
I've not tried, I'll give it a go later
So you reseated the IHS from what you said above? IE just changed the compound and reseated the heatspreader?
aw I like professional grade guides.. ahah xD
This really concerns me as I wish to place a new ivy bridge into my build. I don't plan on overclocking, yet, but will this affect it in anyway? Would the heat of a stock clocked ivy bridge match that (or be cooler) than a sandybridge?
Thank you in advance

you have nothing to worry about if your not overclocking

IB are actually considered cooler chips in the sense they generate less heat than SB but since they can't dissipate it as well as SB does when they are overclocked they get hotter. Even that shouldn't concern anyone

Is it just that IB doesn't discipate the heat as well as SB, I'm assuming that when overclocked even though IB is running hotter it's actually still drawing less power that a SB chip at the same relative clock speed and voltage?
Don
Yeah, it generally uses less power even when overclocked.
If the above guys results are with the IHS replaced back onto the cpu I'm interested in doing this.
Why is the liquid pro stuff so much better at heat transfer if this is the case though?
To the guy asking about IC diamond - Warm the tube up and it spreads ok.

Nice to know
I probably won't use IC Diamond when I do remove my IHS and replace the time since that won't be for quite some time
