I asked because I have one and it's been lapped, and wanted opinions
Plus, you can increase the pressure further by putting something inside where the knob screws down.
sounds like someone volunteered to delid and test

Yeah that must be due to mount pressure... and if you look at the bare die / paste / HSF picture you can see the cooler wasn't making proper contact - I wonder if the cooler is bowed?
Intel also points out Ivy Bridge has a higher TjMAX specification, which governs when the CPU starts throttling in order to protect itself from heat damage. The cut-off for the Core i7-3770K is 105°C, while the 2600K starts throttling at 100°C.

I am very anxiously awaiting a thread with lapped vs not-lapped... oh and possible delid?
So I still have my trusty Storm Rev.2 from the AMD64 days. I'm wondering how a 3770K would do delidded and WCed for 24/7...
Just for reference, here is what a soldered die looks like de-lidded.

4th'd! Very kind of you Matt to volunteer to delid your new cpu!
Yes the pressure adjust is kinda noticed because i checked the Thermaltake site. But the issue is that a cooler of a certain size is almost incapable of, would touch other parts of the MB. So whats the point of it... when the cooler have to be downsized. Well, anyway, keep it up and may provide interesting infos about those different conditions.
Nice find!
although we weren't the ones that pried open the CPU, always happy to see some extra publicity for the site
According to a post over at Overclockers.com, the first reason is only partly true as although the power density is indeed greater it can't explain a difference of up to 20°C when overclocked Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge are compared. Although, there is also a minor possibility that second reason has something to do with it as Ivy Bridge certainly has a lower overclocking potential, but mostly due to heat, as some reviewers were even scared to push it beyond 4.5GHz.
