Haswell-E Uncore Mod MADNESS

PCGHX (german enthusiast community) member der8auer managed to mod the latest Haswell-E cpus to allow for potentially higher and more stable uncore clocks. Similar to the Asus OC Socket it has to do with the socket pinout. He's differentiating two versions of the mod, the "lazy" and the "plus" method. Doing the "lazy" version two pins are beeing soldered together, where the OC socked delivers additional voltage. The "plus" method is a slightly more advanced version, where a wire is connected to those two pins allowing for manual voltage control and input, similar to the EVGA Evbot for gpus.

 

He also wrote a detailed english tutorial article on hwbot.org

I like mods but if I spent $1000/£800 on a CPU the last thing I'd do is solder crap to the bottom :P

I guess that's why nobody has confirmed of the retail chips use TIM ornot, even though MSI went through the trouble of making a delid die guard.

Well I believe all Enthusiast chips in the past have used solder so I expect Haswell-E to be the same :P

Then why would MSI risk misleading people?

how much higher of an overclock? if its like 200 Mhz then this isnt worth it at all... xD

If you think it's TIM well.. You got any idea how much power they consume at 4.5GHz? http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2014/08/29/intel-core-i7-5960x-review/10

Go check Jays video, he managed to keep the temps below 70° at 4.5GHz with 1.3xV. They still have lots of vcores left to play with if the chip allows it but they start consuming a shit load. Even a 9590's power consumption is nothing compared to it. There's no way you're cooling a 350W chip with TIM under the IHS.

I'm just wondering why MSI bothered making the die guard. They must like potential lawsuits.

 

Also, the problem with TIM is the possible gap, not the TIM itself.

Which would be present on Haswell-E as well then. Definitely soldered.
