i did the ihs and the top of heatsink just one side
@vonex its just pot luck on voltages
if you gets any drops or tiny puddles of it where you dont want any use the syringe to suck it back up

are you delidding? just wondered
No, not delidding this cpu as ill eventually be moving to a 3770k. Want to keep the warranty intact for resale. Placed an order just now for the liquid ultra.

Couldnt honestly say, both are the same price. Though the ultra looks to have a slightly thicker consistency. Ultra usually refers to something being better. Guess ill find out soon.
EDIT: Just watched that video that vonex posted in post 2292 above. The intel paste looks like dried up blu tac. What a disgrace tbh, i had similair on an evga 680i motherboard. The paste on the NB/SB chipsets was the same. Almost like a sticky powder that fell off the chips when the heatsinks were removed. I replaced it with as ceramique, something that evga didnt mind the user doing. But in the case of theese cpu's. Its shameful that the customer has to resort to "finishing" the job all because the manufacturer cheaped out.

I bought my mum a new prebuilt mobo and cpu and ram package for her PC a few years back, and she told me after a few weeks it was running rather slow, i took the cpu cooler off and it had some dried remains of thermal paste their, i guess some of the cheap stuff they stick on in stores is worthless, replaced it with some as5 and was running twice as fast as aver she said.
New Ivybridge owner here 
Picked up a 3770k idling at 29-30 degress and load (3D Mark Firestrike test only so far) 53-54 degrees.
So happy enough with the temps from air cooling. What's the best way to approach the overclocking here? Is it fsb or the unlocked multiplier? I'm using a Gigabyte Sniper Micro Atx board.

its all done through the multiplier on these chips,set bclk to 100
Thanks wazza, I assume it's just taking it up in stages...see what's stable, add some voltage if need be etc as per usual.
Got my liquid metal ultra in today, wont be able to get the system took apart till sunday though. The ultra stuff looks to be more like a traditional paste. Will post up results after ive redone the cpu.
I sort of wish i had went for the 6 core now even though x79 doesnt support trim in raid 0.Just reading on how the ps3 has a crappy 8 core low GHZ cpu and how if they plan on getting the most out of it they will have to heavily multithread thier games which as its x86 is bound to translate over to games ported to PC.
I was thinking Battlefield4 being already x86 and multithreading and how possibly they must have said to sony if you integrate it more with the PC it will be easier to code for and cheaper and the games will be less crappy when ported over and vice versa.
So to make the most of the 3570k im going to ditch the ram i have which is 4 dimms of 1600 ripjaws and move up to 2400mhz or 2133mhz with only 2 dimms.It is the only way i can break the PCmark 11 physics 10k score barrier as i lack hyperthreading.Upping the ram actually give a nice little boost! I scored 9169 at 4500mhz 1866 on the ram opposed to 8948 with 4600mhz and 1600mhz ram speed!
Have any of you chaps ran with 2400mhz and has it affected the IMC/OC much? And can you reccomened anything thats 2x8GB 2133 or 2400mhz?

you could always upgrade to 3770k at later date - I would have thought the hyperthreading would simulate near enough those lower clocked additional cores
my 3770k (or my Samsung RAM) - doesn't seem to like 2400 @ 16gb, but 2200, and 2133 CAS9 are ok - 1T

This may sound silly but for me HT = issues and possible microstutter.Just like SLI i regard it as a sort of fake fps.Its no good having 20% extra frames if its not as smooth as without that 20%.
I built the rig for complete smoothness so i never wanted hyperthreading or SLI and would just of disabled HT on the 3930k or 3770k anyways.The better IMC might of tempted me but im not gonna start swapping around now i dont think.I will just beef up what i have which is 3570k 16GBram and two crucial M4's in Raid 0.
Also i swear i noticed less panning stutter when i went from 2T to 1T in Napoleon totalwar.That and the fact 3D mark 11 shows that it benefits physics simulation pretty much set my heart on at least 2133mhz 1T at 1.5V so i do not degrade the CPU.Most of the ram i looked at says 1.55-1.65 which is no good if im gonna have to hammer the IMC with 1.65V.Im only going to run into issues after a year and a half where the OC will become unstable or the ram will.
And the samsung green is all four banks which is also no good as that will just strain it also.Im guessing that is why your system does not quite like 2400mhz.I bet if it was 2x8GB samsung green sticks which as far as i know do not exist it would probably have zero issues to be honest.

Check your emails mate!
I'm moving up to a 3770k as soon as funds permit, bought another windforce so I want to get full potential of them.
for 2400mhz you probably need an x79 setup,2133mhz tends to be the sweetspot for z77 @1.55v dram
multithreading works well gives a nice boost,and i wouldnt worry about the ps4,the pc market is always running at a faster pace

I did mate, bit busy trying to organise some work. Ill be going 3770k and 670 sli too. But im very interested in how 2x wf perform in a closely spaced board such as the P8 Z77 V Pro that we both have. I had serious heat issues with wf 460's in a closely spaced x58 board.
