X3D has no issues with cooling. I wish that myth would die. The extra cache is over the existing L3 cache, not the cores. The cores have exactly the same amount of inert material above them as with the non-X3D chips.

The chips are lower power solely because of the voltage cap, and any additional binning that said cap allows.
