will all the haswell refresh cpus have improved TIM?

[GhostPyro]

I read somewhere that only the k version of the haswell refresh cpus will have the improved thermal interface material, is that true? or does it apply to all the haswell refresh cpu models

Yes it's true, only the k series (devil's canyon) will have the improved TIM. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-haswell-e-devils-canyon-pentium-anniversary-edition-broadwell,26326.html.

I read something a little while back that they might remove some of the voltage "controllers?"(not sure exactly what it's called) within the chip back onto the motherboard.Anyone heard anything about that and if their going through with it?
