Intel Haswell refresh and Devils Canyon reviews/info

Look like thermal paste

It's just a better grade of paste...not solder like the 2011 chips. As I understand it, it's roughly equivalent to the Ceramique paste. Better, but still crappy (compared to solder)...

The proper way to get around it would be to pick up some of the solder that Intel uses and do it yourself...

many have tried, very few have come close, and afik nobody has succeeded. it might be a better idea if intel released a sku that didn't come with the heat spreader at all, and also carries no warranty.

yes, and what you expected?

Most chips seem to max out at 4.8 ghz or so. Now if the retail samples are better ill have to replace the 4670k..

4.8ghz isn't "bad" at least. Ivy gave me issues & I never could get any chip beyond 4.6ghz on air, regardless of voltage.

I guess my 2600k @ 5ghz is just a golden. I was hoping 5ghz would become more common place as time moved on. I guess we're getting closer to that. Maybe 5ghz is attainable for WCers?

4.8 ghz is dream, only 2 percents of all 4790K will be rock stable on 4.8 GHz on air

I think the same now ...Very hard to get 4800 MHz for Cinebench, I tried it one day and the best was 3/4 of render scene .

4790k in stock in norway
