This is your chance people. YOU can send a message to Intel and the motherboard mfg and not buy Kaby. Wait for Zen and see how it measures up. This isn't fanboy talk, it is consumer advocacy. If you think I sound like a AMD fanboy, read my comment history.
The power is in your hands folks!

That's pretty shocking to be honest.
Intel must use earth/mud as it's tim.

SSD_PRO, I assume you overclocked ZEN to 5GHz, right?
If no, ZEN please keep your offers private.
Regarding Kaby Lake - I don't justify Intel's choice of TIM, but it shows what a huge potential lies in their CPUs, so if they really need, they will instantly release something which will trump ZEN.

Either that individual CPU was flawed or the years of no competition have degraded the Intel folks into utter incompetents.

i do not care of this i7, i want ZEN. After ZEN we will see 300$ i7 8/16 core...till then i will not update to an intel quad core in 2017. Its octacore time.

I bet after zen's release they start soldering and giving better performance across the board. The only reason they did this in he first place is it's the only way to make more other than increase prices they already have the entire market.
Enticles
there is absolutely no way that a simple TIM change between the die and IHS reduces temps by 26c. Something else is going on here that has caused an exaggeration of the results.
It would be ludicrous to think that Intel would change their TIM to a significantly lesser quality TIM in just 1 architectural update. LinusTechTips did a de-lid & test video on a 6700k and found it dropped their temps by less than 5c overall. those results are fabricated.
icedman
Temps in my 3770k dropped by around 10 degrees after my de-lid.

Wasn't there similar results with Ivy? When I had my 3570k I read delidding had a pretty big affect, but as I suffer from MS it wasn't something I could safely do.
Edit:
Ah OK that answers my question, so nowhere near the same.

If that's true it is completely unacceptable on the part of Intel... just lazy engineering.

How do you prevent the Sandy Bridge "disaster" from happening again? You prevent people from overclocking by making your chip cook itself. People will then be forced to buy the same CPU with just a slight refresh every year.
Thank you Intel for caring about your customers. We will be remembering this.

If you look at the pictures you can see that the TIM layer was really thick in the stock configuration, I think that would have caused his high temperatures - I just think that unit was badly prepped in the factory. I'm sure delidding helped, but I think he got a duff TIM job from the factory in the first place.

"Intel Introduces patented Mayonnaise based TIM"
Q:So what prompted this change?
A:We found that the usage of mayo greatly Improved the profitability of our cpus while maintaining adequate thermal performance.
