So when is someone gonna pop the IHS on one of these
EDIT: ouch, so I see it's been done - http://hwbot.org/forum/showpost.php?p=167970&postcount=107
That's not a fun shape to try and cover with heatpipes...
Does the IGP take load away from my GPU or is it redundant unless i am running a system with no GPU?
Whilst it doesn't seem to be much of a step up from SB, I will probably buy one in the summer. I could do with a lower amount of heat in my room! Plus with the high temperature when overclocking will mean my water cooling has work to do...
I'm 3 gens behind. So IB would be a win-win for me.
200W is 200W. Doesnt matter if it comes from a heatsink or a radiator. (Or in this case 77W vs 95W)Eh? how will this chip cool your room down XD. If anything your rads are going to giving off alot more heat!
Yes. Yes it will. Lucid Logix MVP.Does the IGP take load away from my GPU or is it redundant unless i am running a system with no GPU?
You can run programs that use QuickSync -mostly video editing/manipulating/converting- on the iGPU. Those programs can run their specific tasks MUCH faster using QuickSync. The problem is,Does the IGP take load away from my GPU or is it redundant unless i am running a system with no GPU?
What he said:The IGP is not going to boost your stand alone GPU in anyway.
[Edit] actually there might be some third party software that will hock your IGP to your GPU, i just cant remember what it was.
(Thanks ED)Yes. Yes it will. Lucid Logix MVP.
NP, you're fine with SNB-E; especially with multi-threaded tasks. Put it this way, if the choice were between keeping a 3930K I already had and replacing it with a 3770K, I'd keep the 3930K.@ Hokie
Thanks for confirming 3960X speeds. I was just curious because I recently purchased an 3930K and am glad to see it (X79) doing well. Once overclocked it should maintain a healthy lead

Thats incorrect IB at 4.8GHz oc is 277 watts load and stock it's 134W load. My SB at 4.8GHz is 233 watts.incorrect.. It is only hotter at the core where the temps are taken. The heatsink only has to deal with 77watts vs the 95 of SB for example. The heatsink should still be quite cool to the touch on most occasions with IB.
