I am going to build a rig with a xeon. The plan was grabbing the 1230v3, but i have heard that the haswell refresh also covers xeons. What is the refresh equivalent of the 1230v3?

This; E3 1231 v3
The difference is that it has just 100 MHz more, and a supposed improvement of the thermal interface material & some extra capacitors to better handle the heat.
Anyway choose the cheapest between the two.

AFAIK, Xeon refreshes have not been officially announced yet. Leaked model numbers end with either 1 or 6.

With the "biggest" difference being 100MHz faster clocks, waiting for Refresh CPUs is not particularly exciting... and not worth the likely higher cost if the difference between the two chips is more than 3%.

I am not waiting for the refresh. I am waiting for my whole build, until around start december/late november.

The thing i was thinking is nice about the new refresh, is the TIM. I know i cant overclock xeons, but the possibilities of low noise coolers(heck maybe the stock cooler is quiet on the refresh) is just so nice.

Believe me a nice aftermarket cooler is always better than the Intel heatsink,
if I remember correctly, you like a "quiet pc" then no matter what, just pick a good (cheap) & silent aftermarket cooler.
