Guys do you still have to de-lid these like IB?

How you getting on with hero? Did you get a chance to test it?
Would you say it is better than other gigabyte and msi boards available right now?
I am stuck waiting on my pre-order from ocuk

What I mean to say is are they still using crappy TIM paste like in IB or have they sorted their act and are using better time or better yet, solder?
reminds me of the old northwood and Prescott from years ago where the older chip actually clocked higher! perhaps it should be known as the prescott haswell or if any one is wanting the new haswell they might do well to wait a few months for the later CPU batches to see if they improve in temps over early launch batches.
Is this a lemon like prescott intel?
We'll call them Preswells then, maybe Hascotts?

Wrong thread.

Paste wasn't the problem, it is actually a result of their glue holding the IHS down, it adds the slightest of height difference which means the TIM has to fill a larger gap than it really has too. The TIM intel use was shown to beat almost every other paste, ignoring CLU/CLP which has marginally better temps.
This:
If you find that it's surprisingly hot then you may want to de-lid and re-TIM.

My system seems somewhat stable now.
Put my CPU down to 3GHZ and my RAM to 1333MHZ CL9 at 1.6v.
Can't flash to F5 though, won't detect my USB pen, but it was fine flashing to F4.
I've had 2 corrupt OS installs, so far I'm not enjoying my Haswell time

The vice method looks like the best, orientation of the CPU looks like it can be very important, knowing which side of the CPU PCB to hit in the vice as not to knock off any of the resistors under the lid as it breaks free!
strikeing it from resistor side looks like the best option to delid, becase if you hit from other side and the PCB skates across the ICH it might knock some off!
Surely you mean striking from the opposite side, right? If you strike from the resistor side you're pushing the edge of the IHS towards the resistors.

the ICH is in the vice remember, so the ICH stays in one place, if you strike from resistor side it has further to travel and hits the CPU its self first. other way round it hits resistors first.
If you strike the PCB from the resistor side, and the IHS remains stationary then edge of the IHS moves away form the resistors.
I never got one in my box either and emailed OC who sent one out right away

Curious mine was in the box then, as surely only Intel could have done that.
