However, their decision to go from soldered IHS to using mediocre TIM as a profit-boosting routine, I was disappointed. I went from a 5Ghz SB i7 2600k to a 3770K that was hard to get past 4.4Ghz 24.7 stable on thermal virus testing. Decapping and shaving got me back to 4.8Ghz, but never 5ghz totally stable. A more mature stepping indeed got me back to 5Ghz, and then Devil's Canyon got another 5Ghz product for me that was a lot easier to achieve. I only do air cooling as a matter of principle, so it takes a lot of precision and trial and error. |
Sandy Bridge was a fantastic chip all around, still is actually, hence why I am still keeping my 3930K, overclocked it's still out-benching allot of people with Broadwell-E at stock, seen no reason to discard her yet.
