Does the i7 9700k need thermal paste?

No, it means that between the heat spreader and the die, internally, it uses solder rather than thermal interface material (AKA paste) unlike every other Intel CPU since Ivy bridge. You STILL need to use some kind of thermal paste between the heat spreader and the CPU cooler heatsink.

Does i7 9700k have heatsink?

Highly unlikely. I don’t think any ‘k’ CPU’s have ever come with a stock cooler. The 4790K I believe was the last K i7 to come with a stock cooler.

Does i7 include thermal paste?

Similar to AMD, Intel’s CPU will also not include a thermal paste; unless the CPU is boxed together with a CPU cooler. That being said, their stock heatsinks do come with a pre-applied thermal paste. For example, the Intel i7-11700 processor will include a cooler, whereas the i7-11700K will not.

Does the i7 10700k come with thermal paste?

The K processors do not include any heatsink nor thermal paste in the package. The CPU does require thermal paste so the heat can be properly released. The processor does require a thermal solution/fan and needs to be ordered separately from the processor.

Does i9 10850k need thermal paste?

Yes, you do. This processor, and essentially all processors that are build by end-users, require thermal paste to be applied between the integrated heat spreader (IHS) and the heatsink.

Does i9 10900k need thermal paste?

Yes you need thermal paste, assuming the cooler doesn’t come with it.

Does i7-9700K need a cooler?

The i7-9700K demands a quality cooling solution. If you’re ready to shell out lots of money for this CPU like a capable motherboard that supports LGA 1151 and a powerful graphics card then it’s worth investing a bit more in getting an adequate cooler.

Why is 9700K not hyper threaded?

The details of the processor corroborates with what we’ve reported yesterday. The Core i7-9700K is a 95W 3.6 GHz/4.9 GHz part featuring 8 cores and 8 threads implying no Hyperthreading support. This makes it the first Core i7 CPU to lack Hyperthreading with the technology being reserved for the Core i9 parts.

Does i9 need thermal paste?

Yes, i9 produces a lot of heat, so for maximizing cooling, you must use thermal paste when mounting your CPU cooler. Reason is simple – due to surface imperfections, contact is never maximized without thermal paste, thus increased heat and reduced performance.

Do you need thermal paste Intel?

Yes, you do. This processor, and essentially all processors that are build by end-users, require thermal paste to be applied between the integrated heat spreader (IHS) and the heatsink. The new feature in these processors is the soldered TIM (thermal interface materials) applied between the die and the IHS.

What are the advantages of the Intel Core i7-9700k processor?

Second, it would give the company’s CPUs a better chance of hitting their ultra-high clock rates. The Core i7-9700K and 9900K supposedly have boost frequencies of 5GHz and 4.9GHz respectively, while the Core i5-9600K may top out at 4.6GHz.

Does the i9-9900K come with gold soldered to the die?

The company states: New Intel i9-9900K and i7-9700K CPUs are coming with gold soldered TIM/IHS to the CPU die. This should help manage the temperatures of the higher-clocked CPUs and will also help with achieving higher overclocked frequencies.

Will Intel’s 9th generation CPUs use solder or paste?

Earlier this summer we saw leaked slides implying that the at least some of Intel’s upcoming 9th Generation CPUs will use solder, not paste, but didn’t have confirmation of that decision. New statements from Eurocom, however, have put paid to the rumor.

What is the IHS on the new i9-9900K?

New Intel i9-9900K and i7-9700K CPUs are coming with gold soldered TIM/IHS to the CPU die. This should help manage the temperatures of the higher-clocked CPUs and will also help with achieving higher overclocked frequencies.
