ivy bridge

Yes seems Intel screwed up with the paste on the chip

Sandybridge at high volts overclock kicks Ivy ass , not sure why they bothered with ivy bridge

You can try to remove the internal heat spreader and apply your own thermal paste

however that would obviously void your warranty and could potentially damage your cpu rendering it dead

results vary from 2~20 degree drop so try at your own risk

Indeed , just buy Sandybridge no problems with heat

[rod16]

does the ivy bridge cpu have an overheating problem

[Wats]

The TIM used in between die and the IHS is not the problem! It is the amount of space between the die and IHS!

Pretty much it is the glue holding the IHS to the PCB's fault.

There's other forums too..

Ivy bridge CPUs are hot chips yes, you will need some serious cooling if you want to OC.

Don't mess around with the internal heat spreader, that's extremely dangerous !
