    With a rig as in your profile, you can wait really long time for a reasonable upgrade, unless these 5xxx Intels will overclock like 9xx series.

    Also, when I'll be looking for a new rig, USB 3.1 would be nice to have. I'll probably have to wait till like 2016 or 2017... or even get an expansion card and stick with good old 920.

    I have Sandy Bridge-E. I will definitely be upgrading to the 5960X.


    Nothing has changed. Haswell-E is still has the soldered tim.

    Why should you? Not that you need 3.3ghz 8 core CPU.

    Soldered tim can still be removed if done properly. But the chances of destroying the cpu in the process are a lot higher though.

    I was slightly worried they were going to use their new and improved next gen polymer tim like on devils canyon (which i don't think is rly that improved). Thankfully it's soldered. I'm very pumped to finally upgrade my x58 system to 8 core haswell-e. Tho I'm stuck with the radeon 5870 until big maxwell gm210 is released either under the titan 2 name or gtx 980 whatever happens first.

    I hear.

    Haswell-E used "Grease TIM" and "Solder TIM".
    Grease TIM and Solder TIM are intermingled.

    5820K/5930K model is using "Grease TIM" roughly.
    5960X model is using "Solder TIM" roughly.

    It seems to have been managed by serial actually.


    P.S.
    Japanese Media "Impress Watch" wrote.

    [Rumor] Haswell-E is mixed grease and solder?

    Ummm no, for an adhesive epoxy it's closer to 350f......... I doubt ANY CPU is going to get to 350f / 170c and live.

    Most epoxies require much higher temperatures for the curing process in the first place, if they couldn't stand up to high temps do you think things like PCB's or even the heat shields NASA used to use in the 60's would be made out of them?
