OK so I have bought a modded Vapochill LS sometime ago and I want to use it to cool my main rig for a serious 24/7 overclock.
I was waiting for Haswell but now that it's out I am kinda disappointed on the temps I see. There seems to be the same problem with Ivy with the TIM not to mention the VRMs onboard dont help either.
Before Haswell was an option, I was told Ivy is not worth it for Phase Change, because its not that its a hot chip (something phase cooling can correct) but more so that there is no good contact of the cpu with the cooling system so no matter your cooling power the result is bad once you crank the Vcore. So Sandy was favourable to Ivy when phase cooling.
There seems to be now the same case with Haswell...
Well, is that true? Is it worthless to try Haswell on Phase?
If so, what do you suggest I should build? Shall I go with Sandy? I am kinda bummed if I have to go with 2010 tech and no pci-e 3.0...
Then, on AMD side the Piledriver is worthless, I will feel stupid if I get an FX8320 to 6ghz and have worse results than a Sandy on air at 4.8 for example...
Socket 2011, is it an option? The Hexacores might be too much for vapochill to handle (I was told it's good for up to 275-300W) and the 3820 is not unlocked :/ Should I wait for 4820k on Semptember? Another 3 months of wait and they might end up with bad TIM again and the wait would be for nothing...
I am so confused....kinda hope Haswell can work with Phase so I can stick with that, even if it will only do 5.3ghz...should be better than a Sandy 5.7 with the IPC improvements...
