I was watching a video on removing a sandy bridge IHS and I read in the comments something about extreme i7's and 2011-3 K's being soldered instead of TIM'd on, are xeons the same? a guy said something about it but he didn't make much sense

But first, let's talk about parallel universes.

Anything after Sandy Bridge and excluding EP/EX will be TIM I would have thought.

2011 and 2011-3 cpus have the ihs soldered on. Mainstream platform cpus from IvyB --> Skylake use thermal paste on the die and the ihs isn't soldered on--this includes Xeons.

What about xeons on 1150/1151 socket?

Yes, 1150/1151 xeons are IvyB-->Skylake

I dont actually know the answer but I would assume it would follow the same process as the socket.

 

eg,

Ivy bridge, Haswell, Devils Canyon, Skylake all use TIM

Sandy Bridge, Sandy Bridge-E, Ivy Bridge-E, Haswell-E all soldered

 

Wether they are Xeon or not, I would have thought if it was a Skylake Xeon, not soldered, if it was a Ivy Bridge-E Xeon then is soldered.

The socket 2011-x chips are solder. the mainstream e3 series you get on 115x are using TIM.

+1 answer i was looking for

1231v3 could be soldered, haswell refresh things.   Nvm, haswell refresh just has better TIM.

With Sandy Bridge (1155) being an exception with a soldered on. I think 1156 was soldered as well.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Soldered don't have the crappy TIM heat issues so you won't need to bother with delidding them anyways.

you wouldn't have to bother delidding xeons anyway, absolutely pointless.

That would be correct. Well pointed out.

 

But 115x on the last 3 generations do indeed use tim :)

Sandy bridge(and prior), as well as 2011 xeons are soldered.

Completely right. There are occasional circumstances where you need to though. I made a video showing how to do it.

Much depressed. I recommend a cat.

On the note of Xeons, can they be used in desktop boards? (1151)

 

I read a review that they're not but I don't see why.

Restricted to C232 and C236 chipsets, but there will be desktop gaming boards with those.

It uses thermal paste.

There's also this site which tells you if a CPU is soldered or not. Check "Thermal Interface material" near the bottom of the properties of each CPU.
