From what I recall, there is absolutely no architectural difference between first and second release of Haswell. It was basically just a relaunch with higher base frequencies. And with regards to the whole heat think, again there was no proof that Devil's Canyon was any bit better.. At least that was how I remember it.
 


This is correct. On the Devil's Canyon "K" CPUs, Intel claimed to have slightly tweaked how they attached the heatspreader, but the difference was marginal at best. Otherwise it's still a Haswell CPU.
 
you mean as foar as being 1150 socket ?
well if there was no differences then there would be no need for a refresh , right ?? you have to have a bios update for the refresh chips that's not supported under old haswell chips , right ? [z87]

it may be nit picky changes ,but ??


I like what blackbirds said even I use a ''z'' board I still go with the non ''K'' chip on it seeing the ''H'' boards may have limited or just no oc'ing ability's your just as well with the non k chip on it there are some things the non k offer that the k chip don't

The two new official features are:

-New Thermal Interface Material, made with a Next Generation Polymer (NGPTIM)
-Additional capacitors on the underside for smoother power delivery

I will address the latter point first. According to my sources, these are extra decoupling capacitors in order to help smooth the delivery of voltages from the FIVR (fully integrated voltage regulator) to the various parts of the CPU. When at the high end of overclocking, reaching the limits of stability (limited by voltage for a given frequency), this should help maintain a constant voltage especially when load-line calibration settings are fixed. This should have ramifications for home users wanting to overclock significantly (4.7 GHz+) and are on ambient cooling methods, but it would seem that Intel’s main focus would be to assist sub-zero overclockers competing for records.
