Intel Sandy Bridge E and LGA2011 Discussion

I'm unimpressed by the entire platform and it's validity to spend so much to gain so little out of it.

^^ Exactly mate, it was an engineering sample. Expect the final product to be much better. Did you check the memory bandwith and AES performance? It simply demolished its predecessor i.e the 990x even in the ES mould.

Again with the stupid decision, a leak will be disastrous, I think intel should release 2 versions of these processors, one with cooler and one without the cooler.

exactly tkin.
if they have to bundle a cooler why can't they bundle some good air coolers from Noctua/CM/Thermaltake or any other company which have plenty of knowledge in air coolers - the liquid coolers they will provide won't be good as compared to those available on market and there's always chance of leakage.
either they should provide some good air cooler or sell the cpus without any coolers which will be great for enthusiasts

BMG ftw!!
It's a very good decision made by Intel. Provided that their stock coolers are of good quality, they won't leak.

Way too bad decision by intel. Better provide nice air cooler rather than WC.

Maximum Effort!!!!!!
a better air cooling is more than enough....may be that 980x stock cooler will do.
WC is a risk.....you never know when it will start raining inside your cabinet!!!!!!
And in India we dont have replacement policies like the ones in America for damage due to water cooling kits.
Badmove both by Intel & AMD to include WC for their new proccys.

thanks for the real manufacturer info of those liquid coolers
but still I don't believe in quality of such products as the risk is just too much and they have not clearly said what will they do if those coolers leak inside of the cabby - only corsair has good warranty policy regarding such incident but still it's too costly.
How about they bundle coolers like NOCTUA NH-D14 with cpus
I know it won't ( most of the chances ) compatible with SB-E sockets but Noctua ( and many others ) will release some High end product for that platform for sure - so instead of $100 Liquid cooling kit they should provide high end $100 air coolers

Exactly. Air cooling is better because if WC leaks and damage other parts and intel don't replace that then they are just ruining their reputation also not to mention would the local "assempler" be comfortable with that ??

I agree, and companies like Noctua and Corsair have good support policy, when socket 1156 came out Noctua developed a new mounting system for it and shipped it free of cost to Noctua owners worldwide, so people owning older Noctua coolers(Noctua U12P /not SE2) could use it with the new system, so I can bet when Sandy-E comes out Noctua will again do the same for old generation cooler owners and ship mounting systems to us for free.thanks for the real manufacturer info of those liquid coolers

Update: I fumbled up, the coolers from Intel are cooled by Asetek, but they are also used by Corsair and they also Leak, so my stance on this still holds.
