I was looking at a video about taking down a sandy bridge IHS. In the comments, someone mentioned extreme i7s and 2011-3 K's being soldered rather than TIMed. Are xeons the same? A person said something but it wasn’t clear.

Beyond Sandy Bridge and excluding EP/EX, what I expected would be TIM.

2011 and 2011-3 processors feature the IHS attached directly. Popular mainstream chips from IvyB to Skylake include thermal paste on the chip and do not have IHS soldered—this applies to both Xeon models.

Check compatibility for xeons with 1150/1151 socket.

1150 out of 1151 xeons correspond to IvyB—transferred to Skylake

I don't really have the answer, but I think it would go through the same steps as the socket. For example, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Devils Canyon, Skylake all use TIM Sandy Bridge, Sandy Bridge-E, Ivy Bridge-E, Haswell-E, regardless of whether they're Xeon or not. I'd expect a Skylake Xeon to be soldered if it's that model, while an Ivy Bridge-E Xeon would likely be soldered too.
