Where did you see that?The HIS is also steel, not alloy or copper.

Where did you see that?
Looking through the most obvious segments have not yet found any info on what the DIE to HIS materials are, no mention of solder or thermal compound, nothing at all.
i want to cry. so happy for IB then this crap. like WTF @ intel. mayb they did this to force tjmax when OC, instead of providing good dissipation for OCs that the IBcpu will most likely do. guess i might be waiting for the second revision of this?
Has that intel rep said anything more yet? what where they thinking at intel? GRRRR so mad.
It is just possible the retail versions are soldered, these ones are pre launch samples and are just sort of (glued together)
Or that might be wishful thinking, what you see is what it is.
That and there is a link in this thread, I thought, that shows Shamino delidded his, which I think is retail(?), that shows TIM.
Doesnt make sense to me that it would be different. BUT, I have been known to be wrong before.
Why would they send review samples that a lot of people would base a purchase on that performed anything but as good as possible?
He may have been referring to the VR-Zone piece based on our article, which is incorrect. The IHS is nickel-plated copper.
It fell out of fashion and was basically not as important as it once was. Maybe that will change with this generation. Time will tell.
Your very slow.... i edited my post and removed that statement looooooooooooooooooong before you quoted that, like 25 minutes before.
Did you have the quote sitting there for that time before you posted it or what?
I read the actual materials in Intel's data sheet myself and corrected it.
