From what I understand, it's more of an issue with the "glue" that holds the heat spreader on that is too thick, causing the heat spreader to sit too far above the cores to cool like it should.

I'm pretty sure the heatspreader on Haswell is soldered on too. I remember reading it somewhere the other day but i may be wrong.

That`s because there`s garbage thermal grease under the heat spreader, I showed you guys a few months ago the you tube guide of the kid scrapping off the heat spreader, then placing any good thermal compound over the cores, then putting the heat spreader back on. After that`s done, the cores temps are all but identical.

I`m gonna do it to my i5 now that I have another cpu

I hope it works out good for you. Take lots of pics
