I know DHFF that we had understood each other, this is what matters. But it is also fair to specify things if they are not fully comprehensible, the logainofhades comment was welcome. I'm glad to hear that, hope all goes well. Cheers.

My first point was about the difference between sockets, and in correlation to the E3 which is the only Xeon that works on the 1150. Perhaps I should have used "different" instead of "workstation" but that was not the problem, because what I wanted to say and to make understand was other. (or...

I see, now I understand. Well it all depends on the type of workload. At present the Ivy Bridge Xeon E5 it is still a good investment, but honestly I would wait a few more months to see the real differences. There are still some unknowns to see, such as the use of DDR4, new chipset, prices and...

You're still making the same mistake :) do not mix them up, the Xeon E5 needs a workstation motherboard, while the 1150 socket is located on consumer/mainstream motherboards. Hope it helps, Cheers. p.s. Now I can see your specs; Well, you're ok, the only thing that slows down your platform is...

There is a bit of confusion... I will try to answer you between the lines. For sure there will be the Haswell microarchitecture for the Xeon E5, even just for the fact that Intel covers a large percentage in the server environment with them. They will soon hit the market, but will use DDR4...

Yeah the vacuum cleaner was another option, I'm glad you found it haha. Cheers.

If it is just air... Yes You can also use an air compressor (but do not make the fan spin with it) or a small/medium soft brush. But again; It was a simple fly, there's nothing to worry about. You can take this opportunity to clean your case from the dust. Cheers.

I do not understand what the problem here... just wipe it off, I doubt that a simple fly can get the heatsink dirty, or even knock out a cooler, Lmao. Seriously, you just need to clean it. (although I think the fly was probably "disintegrated" by the fan into small pieces, that's why you can...

It is possible, though there are some changes to make. One that you have listed, and another on the processor, which is to mask a series of contacts. But also, you have to see which motherboard you have (If it is compatible), what chipset etc... I suggest you to read some specific forum/blog...

You are wellcome mate, and for sure the E5-1607 will run cooler compared to the 4930k, because it operate at less GHz and less voltage I guess.

I'm not familiar with AMD processors... If we exclude the fact that you will lose your warranty, the lapping; it still improves the transfer of heat, but the gains depends on the subject skills, and if the work it was done well... otherwise temps get even worse. ~10°C? you have done a good job...

The 4930k have the IHS soldered (heat exchange almost perfect) I'm not sure about the E5-1607 I guess it's soldered, since it's the first series, even though I've never owned this model. Wow I've never seen a 4930k stay at 50°C with all six cores fully loaded (x36 x36 x37 x37 x37 x39) on intel...

Sorry, what do you mean? the intel heatsink can dissipate 130W? this must be a joke. Anyway, the intel heatsink it's okay for general use, but not for heavy workloads with all cores fully loaded (no matter what Intel says; I would never leave my processor 24/7 with that crap... especially if the...

Let's make things easier; If your motherboard does not support 1866MHz, no matter what, they will not work at this frequency... but will be lowered @ 1600MHz etc. For the rest, it's like I wrote in my previous message. Cheers.
