Mistgun_Zero:
I wonder why they don't used refrigerants or liquids that have better heat absorption/dissipation than water like ammonia in those all in one liquid coolers like corsair h100 and all.
Even though Noctua d14 is perhaps the most superior HSF out there, it's sheer size and weight makes me wanna go for a AIO liquid solution.

the 'meh' aspect of the haswells is the reason ive build like 3 computers the past year but have yet to build one for myself =P THat and not really liking where the gfx cards are sitting right now. Interesting to see theres a new processor line coming down te road

haswell is indeed meh but isn't to sneeze at, for their worth, so long as your end-goal isn't overclocking, they're an extremely worth-it upgrade over the past generation GPUs.
well the GFX's current line is indeed meh though, i'm still waiting for a worthy upgrade over my HD7950, most likely it'll still be by next year.
if anyone could answer this question of mine though i'd greatly appreciate it.

this makes me wonder though, how would a dual-core haswell pentium @ 5Ghz compare to a hawell i3 @ 3.5Ghz.
even if you factor in HT its still barely slower in multi-threaded workloads, and thats without considering the part that HT doesn't scale well enough like real cores.
but coming from my i3-2100 (sandybridge @ 3.1Ghz) i wonder if its a downgrade, its worth considering for the massive single-threaded performance boost.
[100% = base sandy @ 3.1Ghz]
100% x 1.1(ivy) x 1.1 (haswell) = 121% x ( 5.0Ghz / 3.1Ghz ) = 195% or 95% faster in single-threaded performance.
if taking out HT means decreasing the overall multi-threaded performance by 33%(1/3) its still gonna be 30% faster.
but for a worst case, its getting little to no performance improvements in multi-thread workloads.

edit: adding one more question, if a dual-core has twice the single-threaded performance of a quad-core, wouldn't it perform identical in multi-threaded as well?
e.g. lets say a "dual-core haswell @ 5Ghz [vs] quad-core haswell @ 2.5Ghz"
its actually similar to "intel i5 4core [vs] AMD FX 8core" in a sense of "fast 2core [vs] slow 4core"

Kay so ... this seems to be out of question since the USB 3.0 is not reliable. :/ ...

what are you trying to build?
imho you could make a NAS with harddrive array using ITX cases.
