As all the reports are stating, the new Intel Ivy Bridge seems to be running much hotter than the Sandy Bridge generation. As the reports keep flooding in, Overclockers.com have seemed to figure out why!

Is it the 22nm design? Nope Here is the simple report from Overclockers.com.

So why is Ivy Bridge hot?

Intel is using TIM paste between the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) and the CPU die on Ivy Bridge chips, instead of fluxless solder.

Now this is interesting to say the least. Maybe this is just a hype from a website wanting to get there name in the lime light?

Not according to Overclockers.com.

In light of this contrast, we can gain further insight as well from what history has taught us. If you’ve been paying attention, we saw similar issues between the E6XXX and E4XXX processor lines. The E6XXX used a solder attach under the IHS and were far easier to keep cool. The E4XXX used a TIM paste under the IHS and ran hot!
