Delidded my 4670K What Thermal Compound

The plan is to nail varnish the resistors although they are 5mm away from the die and then liquid pro the lid back on.

I think haswell just generates a lot of heat. If goes from under locked and 25C at idle to 100c within seconds. Let's hope is not the future.

Sadly it is, i can't remember the exact reason but Intel can't use solder on the die because of the 3d trigate transistors. If they don't find a round this then going forwards I might not bother with overclocking, theres no real benefit to it in games and more and more programmes can be accelerated by the gpu.

really? that seems rather odd to me

the trigate transistors are part of the internal architecture of the die - im not convinced that they would make a difference externally to the die where the solder would be

id be interested to know though :)
 
I built 4770 system last night, so not had a lot of time to tinker, but a rough overclock 4.5 1.26v temps between 74 and 83.

If I get brave later I may delid, I ordered some liquid ultra just in-case I got brave, do you just use it on the die, or under the IHS as well?
 
and I thought using a razer to cut the heat spreader off was scary enough I wouldn't have the guts to use that method
 
Question for the OP what side of the chip did you hit with the wood?, the resistor side?

Yeah I would like to know if you should add CLL to the dye as well as the underside of the IHS?

Also is this good practice to add CCL to the under side of you heatsink as well as the top of the IHS?
 
hoe some people keep suggesting to put nail polish over the resistors.

Has anyone ever actually tried it? surely the nail polish will go upto like 60c and start to melt , boil or even liquify? or something
 
Others are suggesting putting a layer of standard non conductive paste on the resistors, then using liquid pro/ultra on the die itself.
 
Yeah i suggest just doing a line of thick non conductive paste on them, no need to spread and don't worry about putting too much since there normally isn't any TIM on there anyway. Nailpolish doesn't boil or liquefy when it drys but it still burns very easily. Though at that point your CPU would be dead from its own temperatures. Nail polish coating for me sounds too thin and could crack when going from cold to hot very quickly.
 
this is what you want,from asus

yeah

its flush with the top of the core so no matter how much pressure you apply it won't crush the core
