7700k delid results

[dvs8]

Hi all,

Decades-long customer but long time lurker here
However I thought I'd post up my results from delidding my 7700k in case anyone was like me and on the fence about whether or not to do it (of course YMMV).

7700k stock, under Corsair H105 AIO: http://vault.dvs.scot/7700k stock load.png

Purchased der8auer's kit and some Conductonaut (along with the Arctic Silver cleaning kit), made in my opinion a hash of the delid / repaste job, BUT: http://vault.dvs.scot/7700k delid load.png

Amazing -30C load temps, replicated in other workloads. All I can say is thanks OcUK for stocking the quality components needed here and the usual rapid delivery! (and haribo )

Thanks all!

Great results. What were the delid temps like after running full load for the same length of time? I noticed the stock test was run for nearly 5 minutes longer.

I let it run for 10-15 minutes and it was static at those temps

rossiboy001: I used a dab of gorilla super glue either side of the IHS (on the thicker parts), spread it out with a toothpick so it was extremely thin - I read that it's not so much Intel's choice of TIM but the thickness of the adhesive that causes a lot of the heat transfer inefficiencies. So careful on this point.
