I'd like to add an addendum of further thought regarding the IFX-14

I think the reason why the IFX-14 did relatively best on the OC'd E6700, despite being the *middle* load was because of the increased power density.

Not sure how to describe this from a heatflow point of view, but it seems that's the biggest difference. It wasn't a super high load, but the power density was highest.

On ultra-high clocked dual cores, IFX-14 may yet win....but not by much.

I will not be investigating this, I have 24/7 use of both my Ultra-120 eX and IFX-14, but it's just a thought
