Do the i7 4820K's run hot?

I see they are higher wattage. Are they a little hard to cool compared with an i7 Haswell?

Edit: I'm referring to the Ivy Bridge - E version, not that it makes much of a difference.

Not really.. its socket 2011, those chips use soldering method to fix the heatsink to the core die which provide much better heat transfer than the TIM method used in the 115X sockets, also the 2011 socket 2011 heatsink its bigger which offer even better than the tiny socket 115X.. so at stock speed they can perform cooler than a 4770K, and they can even overclock better due that fact.. they will consume much more wattage yes, but thats not traduced directly into the cooling capability, coolers with a large base for example the Corsair H100i have much better cooling performance with socket 2011 chips because they can transfer better the heat to the cooler.

Wow, interesting. So the heatsink you choose will actually absorb more heat off of the processor with a 2011. I wouldn't use the stock heatsink.

well actually ivy bridge-E comes without Stock cooler..

awww i remember the time of the i7 980X Gulftown comes with a superb heatpipe tower cooler..

Do you know what's this?


I guess Intel didn't want to risk stoning by distributing it with Ivy-E.
