CPU De-lid Tool

Isn't that basically the bench vice method? Sure its held by a fancy container now but the principle of brute forcing it off is the same.

Yes exactly :)

I posted some more pictures on HWBOT. Also said there that it's based on the vice method.

The bit that slides and actually pushes the heat spreader off, how is that held in place or would it fall out if you turned it upside down.
 
If this is more than a fiver then they can stick it where the sun don't shine. I guess this is a noob friendly tool though so will appeal to the masses. I've had zero problems using a razer blade.

Might buy one of these to delid my 4770k, what do people clean the paste out with and what thermal paste is then recommended in its place? None of that liquid metal stuff tho haha

An old credit card works wonders at removing the black adhesive from the pcb and the underside of the IHS.

Isopropanol alcohol to remove the old paste from the die.

The 'gap' Intel created between the die and the IHS is intententional as the paste is forced out the sides/away from the die if you squeeze the IHS down too tightly. A couple of months running and the layer of paste would be so thin and dry it would do absolutely nothing for thermal transfer.

When I see CPU's for sale where the owner has put down some gelid paste and glued the lid back on I cringe. A great way to ruin a perfectly good chip!

If you're going to delid liquid pro or ultra is really the only way to go. It doesn't squeeze out the sides of the die the same way a paste will. I did my 3770k with hammer and vice and used liquid ultra afterwards. Piece of cake :)
 
Thanks guys :) Glad you like it!

It's not like I go through CPU upgrades every year especially with the marginal performance increases Intel have lately been giving us.

Sure if I bought a new CPU and wanted to delid it I would consider this, but a razer blade has served me well for the 2 CPUs I have delidded.

It all comes down to price and I do appreciate that this has lots of positives compared to using razer blades and the hammer/vice method but you have to appreciate that this will probably only get used once every few years by home users.

Edit - Just watched the video and I do like how the IHS can be re-sealed again, would like to see how that is done.

Dude said it may cost about 80 euros.. Hopefully these will be all over the MM once they're released.
 
Just get a group of all your trustworthy long time OcUK mates who you know, all chip in £5 and just share it around till all your CPU's are delidded.

That price was based on the calculation of 20 pieces :D

I'm currently also waiting for the prices of a decent quantity.

Sell them on a global scale, you would sell a few thousand maybe? :)

Make sure it's copyright / patent protected also. :)
