Intel will be using a TIM instead of a soldered IHS in its Core-X lineup, overclockers will have to invest in a de-lid kit for optimal thermal performance
..this is the first time that Intel has not soldered its premium HEDT lineup and will end up affecting the vast majority of consumers adversely (unless you decide to de-lid your CPU). This is something that will allow Intel to save time and money ...
