Some kind of reference would be nice to compare Sandy Vs Ivy in that area
becouse if you want to do OC this is an important fact.

Also there are reports about that the Ivy is hotter becouse of some thermal material
inside the die wich has been replaced to low the cost had an impact in the temperatures.

Anyway if you are already have Sandy Bridge there is no point to upgrade becouse
of the "tic toc" known cpu process with Intel.

If you can afford this chip and are pushing it to the max then a water, or high end air cooler isn't an issue for you. Or you also plan on phase or other silly tests using LN or the like and will probably remove the IHS anyway.
