If you remember <a class="bbcode_url" href="http://www.overclock.net/t/1256249/video-added-watercooling-results-replacing-the-internal-ihs-tim-of-an-i7-3770k/0_20">This Thread</a>, I delid a 3770K processor and confirmed that Intel screwed it's loyal customers by crippling Ivy Bridge line of processors. This resulted in overclockers having to swap the "internal" thermal paste (the TIM between the CPU Die and the integrated heat spreader) to get the best out of those chips.<br><br>

It looks like Intel completely ignored the overclocking community's outrage and decided to pull the exact same move with Haswell. I'll be investigating to see if that is in fact the case here.<br><br>

I Ordered a 4770K and an Asus Gryphon board for this test. They got shipped today and I should have them within the next day or two. Stay tuned.<br><br><hr class="bbcode_rule"><br>
