delidding your CPU

don't do that.

>>55379084
I hope you ruin an $800 CPU.

I'd consider doing that for when I'm ready to upgrade

>>55379084
>so...are you in on this new meme?
people have been doing this for years

My CPU has a soldered IHS, there IS a tool to remove the IHS on soldered chips, but it's risky and the benefits are only ~5-10c lower temps.
Not worth the risk since I'm happily at 4.5GHz

Forevially dellidded cpu

My CPUs weren't lidded to begin with.

Did my 3770k, stable over clock to 4.6 and my idle temps are about 35c. Load temps have never exceeded 60c. Used that synthetic diamond thermal shit on the inside and out. Feels goodman

hooooooooooly fuckin shit. has that gotten u laid?

i used pk-3 prolimatech (3rd most powerful thermal Juden...after metal paste)

fight me

>are you in on this new meme?

That's like a 4 year old meme, it started back when Intel noticed that the 2500k could be overclocked so well that people wouldn't need upgrades for a decade. So they started using thermal grease on the IHS on every K cpu ever since, to make them more difficult to overclock due to shit thermals.

That would be an Xtreme Edition cpu, those come with soldered IHS and have vastly better thermals out of the box.

I had and still have a gf when I did it, so I guess

Before I used the diamond stuff I used the liquid metal. Doesn't last. Dries up really quick and ends up not being nearly as effective after about 3 months.

I did the heatspreader mod while most of you were in diapers.

(and smoked it trying to hit 650mhz and accidentially my K6-III+ set the VCore to 5v instead of 2.4v)

congratz. i am late 20's and i am starting to realize the pricelessness of not being old

fuck you

also i am building custom heatsinks out of copper coins

>>55380193
>copper
>not making a heatsink out of silver

>>55379084
I'm at 4.7GHz anyway, could probably push 4.8 for daily use too. Delidding doesn't seem to be worth it, I wouldn't be able to go much further with the OC anyway.

>>55380255
son. i melted my wedding gold gifts into a heatsink. one of the gold gifts was the only possession of a holocaust victim (son's grandma)

not delidded,
never breached 70* C

might delid and chase 5 ghz

>>55380193

being old is a privilege many do not get to experience

>>55380255
>1.5% increase in performance for a 200% increase in price

>>55380376
what? its the exact fuckin opposite lol right now on earth there's more oldies than young people

>>55379084
So, once the heat spreader is off do you just put it back on with a new thermal compound or do you leave it off and mount the cpu cooler directly?

>>55380661
The latter

>>55380296
Thanks for taking us one step closer to forgetting that awful jewish scam.

no problem. he is not my biological son. my wife doesnt want to father my sons

I honestly thought it was common knowledge that silver was the most conductive metal, if you check the Wikipedia page you'll see it's conductivity is about 430 W/(mK), gold and copper are pretty close, but copper is significantly cheaper

>>55381460
Not a scam. The whole world saw it happen.

>>55382276
SHALOM!!!

>>55379084
>new

Yes, it seems like you are quite new indeed

>>55379416
newfag, it started well over 10 years ago

A lot of them were old pentium M CPU's

My cpu hits 40c° with the stock intel heatsink after two hours of 100% use
I could delid, mount a noctua and put liquid metal instead of thermal compound for dat sweet 2c gain
Room temp is 35btw
