9800X3D anyone done it yet?

[Grim5]

lots of youtubers have, apparently cuts temps by 20c

You'd want to be sure you had a good sample before you even considered it.
A few hardcore benchers have binned a fair few.
Not a lot of good samples with AMD hard binning for 9950X3D.

It took 43 turns to get the heat spreader off

 

[drakulton]

and only 42 turns to get the GPU and CPU off

The days of using a razor blade are long over, so many components there.

Did you do some pre-delidded benchmarks for comparison? Also, are you going to replace the IHS or direct mount?

 

[Blackwhite]

What Temperatures drop do you have guys?

 

[Howling]

Are temps even really an issue for this? It seems to run a lot cooler than the 7800x3d did (probably largely due to moving the 3d cache)

No, I agree with you, they are probably not an issue. But I want to undervolt and overclock with a modest voltage increase. I would be content if I can get to 5500Mhz on all cores.

 

[maddness]

Woah, I don't think I'd have the oo to do this

 

[drakulton]

How much heat did you have to apply to get it weaken?

 

[Pitsnow]

No heat at all. Heat would be counterproductive as you want the indium to stress fail. The movement of the IHS via delidding tool is all you need. I moved the IHS 43 times front and back. The IHS will come loose and can be removed without any force at all.
