would like to see how one performs once delidded
I will delid for your curiosity, if you buy me a new one if it screws up
The rewards from a delid are great but there is much sadness if it goes wrong
TIM is the same we delidded some in Taiwan. The major change is in the power delivery which for me has made no difference to overclocking. Infact my 4770K are better. Maybe average is higher on 4790K but I dont do average.
The TIM being the same is worrying.
From what I have seen so far it appears the temps are not much better at all.
Was hoping to avoid having to delid this time round.
Could it be the ES and the first batch OCUK are selling are old chips assembled before the new TIM was in production. ?
Seems not many places have stock yet, did OCUK do some deal to buy up the old chips so they could be first to market ?
Tomorrow my DC should arrive and I will be a bit miffed if 30mins later I am taking a deep breath and pondering delidding it.
8pack I can understand now why you aren't excited at all by DC
