Retail 3770k overclocking

Until someone comes up with lead-free solder that works well enough for chip-to-IHS bonding.

Yeah, looks like just another reason why going green sucks. Its bad for cars and apparently its bad for CPUs as well!

Why lead free? For the safety of people that are likely to have a lick at the IHS? Thinking its a chip... with some dip? Meh.. breakout the tungsten.. well.. I was going to say tungsten-copper.. but then I found this....

Give it 10 years, maybe less. The new fashion will be to bitch about all the pollution used batteries are causing. Seriously tho.. want to minimize the carbon footprint? Take a really big cork... plug a volcano..

What we really need is an Enthusiast Line of i7 3770K that explicitly states the chips won't live as long, but they have the old-style solder TIM and will run cooler with a good heatsink or WC.

Uhh, it says right there that the material they use is much more robust than lead-based alternatives. All materials crack under certain pressure.

Because when people throw away computers and it goes to disposal, it contaminates the land and/or water supply. Lot of people still don't recycle electronics.

Haha read right past Figure 18. Was getting confused as hell with all the technobabble that I don't understand.

I wonder which of the factors specified in the article that influence STIM joint reliability are directly related to the decision Intel took with Ivy Bridge.
It seems that if they wanted to, Intel could have made indium solder joints reliable enough with Ivy Bridge by addressing some of the above mentioned factors. Then again this isn't my field of expertise at ALL 😕

More results?

I expected to see more results by Wednesday night..

I missed it too. So how come no solder? Sad if the chip builds up so much heat it can't get out.

Ok guys some old school vintage P67 action!

3770k L206B314 P95 x64 stability testing on an Asus P8P67 Vanilla Bios 3207, air-cooled on a Venomous-X with 2x Enermax Magma 120mm fans:

4.7ghz @ 1.328v: ouch, kinda getting a little too toasty so stopped after 30min:

4.6ghz @ 1.276v after 1 hr: idles at .96v and 1600mhz - not too hot and not too slow - this is going to be my Goldilocks setting 🙂
