Delidded my 4670K What Thermal Compound

Does that only work with Asus mobos though?

Regarding adding nail varnish to the reisitor to the side of the dye, does CLL actually run after its been applied then, or is there a chance of it getting on the resistors if CLL has be carefully applied to the dye??

Oh i'm more interested in the Asus one Wazza posted to stop me destroying my chip :p

The link is more about the temps possible.

But yeah you could crush the core, then again that's how we used to do it years ago. Do it up evenly and and not too much, used to put some small foam pads around the core to mount it evenly. Great for temps and I can't ever remember damaging one mechanically. Though I fried a few.
 
^^^ that adaptor is universal,all you have to do is unscrew the motherboards cpu retaining clamp and clamp that bracket in its place

I have no idea where its for sale though,but asus make it

What the correct name for it, so i can Google it?

Also has there been any confirmation which side you should strike the Haswell chip from, for the vice/wood method?

I don't know,i think it comes with the motherboard

heres original thread

seems haswell run slightly hotter than ivy even after delidding

Noticed this from that thread,

"Something's not right then if you only lost 10 degrees. I've done 4 Ivy Bridges and lost 20+ on all of them. Re-check your application for proper contact between the die and the IHS. It helps to paint the underside of the IHS with a light coat of LMU/LMP to help adhesion."

Whats LMU/LMP??, also someone said on that thread not to use nail varnish as it contains thinners!
 
I wouldn't worry about the transistors aslong as you just put liquid pro on the die itself it should be fine

if you wanna be 100% safe use non conductive thermal paste either on the transistors themselves or a line inbetween those and the die so it creates a barrier to prevent liquid pro going on the transistors
 
Yep, thats what i reckon it means lettuce. Tbh, i cant see running with the liquid pro/ultra being an issue. I applyed some on the ihs of a new cpu today. Took a bit of time and force with a brush to spread it out evenly.
 
heres a very crude drawing of where to apply liquid pro

where the red lines are ontop of die and ontop of cpu ihs,you can see cpu cooler at the top

Just found myself delidding my 3770K
It was incredibly tense waiting for it to boot. The longest ~20 seconds of my life!

Using just Arctic silver 5 and my Arctic Cooling Freezer 7, I immetiately dropped 10C in prime at 4.0GHz

I will swap it for Liquid Ultra when I watercool in a few months
 
welldone monster:D,how come it took so long to boot? into windows you mean?

you need to scrape of all the black adhesive with your fingernail so to get the cap fitting closer to the die
 
You could drop even further Monster by using liquid metal, and possibly replacing your cooler with something a bit bigger. Could save a lot of expense with watercooling. Though watercooling will give much better results again.

Yes into Windows :)

I have done the best I can be bothered with for now.
I noticed I made a tiny scratch in the top of the PCB so I wanted to get it back on quick to check I hadn't killed it so i'll give it another go with some proper cleaner at another point.

I'm also supposed to be revising for my final three A-level exams next week and the following week so I shouldn't be spending too long doing this :p

I have always wanted to watercool anyway so i'm just saving up and doing that properly in a few weeks/months. No point buying a new air cooler just yet as much as I would like to :)
 
Operation Delid successful, took all of 4 minutes.......

Well almost 100% successful, the teeth on my vice cut into the IHS a tad, so i took a bit of wet and dry and sanded down the slight bulge on the IHS mounting surface this cause......

will this cause any ill effect with my heatsink???

ooo:D

you done well,i doubt those would affect anything aslong as you can fine sand them level

looking at the cpu I bet you could stick a thin strip of electrical tape over those transistors,lookslike its lower than the die
