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 :sarc:

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

No they use the cheap river bottom mud too.

Aawww...at least they could use premium river bottom mud.

Lols That good then aye

They use the premium mud for baseballs.

That's some good mud!

OK should hyper threading be turned off on the i7 ?

Not really unless you are going for 5ghz plus and run into issues clocking it any higher.

some people find that it hurts your performace for OCing, and some experience some problems with games when its on and overclocked. i read that its just best to turn it off.

 

[kbrady1979]

Only turn it off if you are OC'ing and trying to hit really high frequencies. For your regular day to day OC, it needs to stay on, otherwise, what's the point of having an i7?

Kelly's right. If you are going to turn it off, then you should have stayed with an 3570K. Basically hypertreading is the only difference.

 

[N00berG00ber]

again, just stuff that i have read.

 

[kbrady1979]

When those guys are using exotic cooling to reach crazy frequencies like 6, 7 or 8GHz they will not only turn off HT, but will disable cores as well.......that's the only way they can hit those high numbers.

well, noi that was just for a OC in the 4ghz range...


also whats the difference between CPU-NB and NB for AMD platform?

 

[kbrady1979]

No clue, I'm not familiar with most things AMD

 

[N00berG00ber]

Anyone think changing HT link and NB from 2400mhz to 2600mhz will gain much performance in games?
