Overclocking Site Solves Mystery Behind Higher Ivy Bridge Temperatures

[JMH]

Intel stepped up to the plate and seemingly hit a homerun with its Ivy Bridge architecture (which, by the way, is now showing up in retail).
It's the first commercial processor to boast a 22nm manufacturing process and 3D transistors, a combination that ultimately leads to better performance with less power consumption than previous generation processors.
At the same time, some have reported higher temps with Ivy Bridge compared to Sandy Bridge, and it could have to do with the way Intel attached the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS)

Figures!!! Even giants like Intel want to cut costs too!!!! So much for having a reason to charge premium prices!

This is as designed and meets quality and reliability expectations for parts operating under specified conditions

In other words if you want a faster cpu step up and buy the more expensive one

Sad you see these small things come up in expensive toys...

I personally would pay more for a properly cooled CPU...

Similarly, I would pay more for a Microsoft Xbox 360 made with lead solder... The leadless solder they use causes all sorts of problems.

The cost of going green... :banghead:

But then when the little kids eat the XB parts they'll get lead poisoning

...Population control... Thanks for supporting the cause! :thumbsup2:

Either way, a cooler CPU is a happier, more stable, CPU... The marginal cost to do things right is worth customer satisfaction in the long run.

Intel's Ivy Bridge Hotter Than Sandy Bridge When Overclocked

Intel's 22 nano-meter die shrink can be seen as a huge achievement for the company, but that doesn't mean it is without faults.

The question among reviewers while overclocking Ivy Bridge chips is why the processors run hotter than their predecessor, Sandy Bridge.
Overclockers.com reports temperatures “to be as much as 20 °C higher on Ivy Bridge compared to Sandy Bridge when overclocked.”
