Hmmmm, I think you're getting into physics there..... I don't quite get it, but thats ok..... I know you're right.
These guys did a similar test, looks like the core just runs hot period

Hi guys,
What seems to be the average oc range of IB and temps? I was thinking of going with a 2600/2700k and hoping for 4.8ghz, currently I have a 2500k at 4.8ghz 1.408v. BUT since temps dont seem sooooo (not great but anyways) bad with ivy I would really want at least a 4.6ghz If I switch, just curious if most of you guys are getting stable there and what the temps are. Current cooling setup keeps my 2500k @ 1.408v prime stable at 69C with ambient around 74F right now.
what I havent seen mentioned at all is the fact that using just the core to pump heat away with a tim rated at around 5w/mK may very well be much less efficient than that same core surface with 80w/mK to the IHS (much more mass and surface area) to get heat out. Seems would work much like a great pot with mass vs a cheap pot without much mass.
