You put the IHS back on, either ith double sided tape, or just with the pressure of your h100.

What kind of results are you getting Mike?

Just reading this thread has caused for the past hour to look up all the market leading thermal compounds. Phobya HeGrease, Prolimatech PK-1 seem to be the best performers outside of the Indigo Extreme which you can't use to spread so it's of no use here.
Well I'm not sure if the cpu is to blame, I'm getting memory management crashes even at stock and I don't know how to work out whats causing that.
Eitherway, it won't do 4.6 at high voltage
Oh and to top it off, one of my mirrored raid drives had just died.... fab

Ignore mate, I have faulty memory!
I wonder when the "thermally fixed" r2 Ivy Bridges will arrive? Surely Intel will do something about the heat issues and replace the crappy thermal interface material sooner rather than later.
Or maybe they made them this way deliberately to prevent high overclocks....

I think they will, they've released revisions for q6600, e8400 and so on and I don't know the reason why. There's a reason for these to be revised.
Well at least now you can sort that out
, hope you get some good results once you get sorted mate.Looks like he put way too much on. Just a little drop spreads very thinly over a CPU so over the die a much smaller drop should be applied and spread with a swab.
Yeah there looked to be about 100x too much on the cpu
Look how far he makes that tiny amount go

that's a nice drop in temps
although...can;t see to clearly from the pics but looks a bit odd with the liquid pro... i mean this stuff (form what i've seen) does the thinnest layer ever.. does it make good contact? (probably silly Q as you would have higher temps otherwise xD ) but it seems like the TIM does stick up a bit from the die? just looks a bit odd xD
also mx4... so did you use liquid pro on the inside and mx4 on the outside? i'm a bit confused xD
either way.... good job
It has similar properties to solder so I thought it best to put it on both the core and the ihs to ensure good contact with both sides, I put to much on but I'm not bothered as it will be contained by the ihs.
Yeah MX4 on outside as my heatsink is made from aluminium.
I really doubt they'll do this, as the heat is not an issue at stock clocks for any of the chips, and of course overclocking is not 'normal' and is not covered by warranty etc.
Also I decided to go on Intel live chat and spoke to technical support for cpu's (so as specific a choice as I could make), and the guy I spoke to said they weren't even aware the chips ran hot and there was no plans to release different versions.
So either they just wouldn't reveal if they were going to bring out new versions, or from the first point they really don't care about/see as a problem the high temps.
Also, just as a bit of extra info for those that don't know, apparently the 24/7 max running temp of IVY is 75 degrees, and non 24/7 is 80-85. So at least it is perfectly safe to have some level of high temps.
...yeah right, it's not as if there's been much discussion about it. Looks like he's toeing the party line to me.
Actually you're chip is still covered by intels warranty if you're overclocking. If the chip fails due to normal circumstances and you are with in the safe zone of voltage then it's not failed from you overvolting/running it too hot. Where as if you overvolt/chip degrades from heat over a long period of time and such this is when you need intels insurance.

Like to see them bother proving it Apart from obvious physical damage i doubt they'd bother putting it under an electron microscope etc..
