make her cold bug

[Shammy]

they were right about non soldered TIM



temps are not as good with IHS without exertion of force by ILM on the core but with good thermal paste and remounted IHS, temps are better and may bring the CPU to cold bug

They used all the picture of my dead cpu !!!

BTW what thermal paste you use to remount it ?

[hokiealumnus]

Yes, we did; thanks for letting him use that Pt1t!

Thanks as well for the confirmation Shammy.

i think its either u use something thick like gelid or file down the IHS feet to lower it and go with something thin

[ME4ME]

any gain in CPU clock?

[evangelionstar]

Shammy:

Is that a Retail ivy? ie final product?

How much improvement in thermals did you notice by using a different paste?

How much improvement in clocks?

Did you try abandoning the IHS completely and seating a cpu heatsink directly on it?


thanks

this is not new! sandy Bridge/nehalem is not soldered too! Alle CPUs from Intel few years ago are with TIM, not soldered!

sandy Bridge datasheet: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc...cket-guide.pdf

ivy bridge datasheet: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www...cket-guide.pdf

all has TIM between IHS/Core

TIM can just as well be Solder OBR. Thermal Interface Material does not exclusively mean paste. Solder is a thermal interface material between the die and IHS. Here is a de-lidded, soldered 2500K. (Initial post, request for pic, post w/ pic.)

EDIT - Here's an i7 965 with the die ripped off by solder too.

This TIM or thermal interface material
is this some kind of thermal glue?

Look at Intel datasheets, SNB-E has TIM too ... but Westmere Xeon not, there is different picture a material described (they are soldered). I have somewhere naked photo of Ci7-980 with classic paste not soldered + the same for core 2 quad ...
PS. soldering is cheaper then this found TIM in Ivy Bridge ...
