De-lidded 3770k!!

I keep seeing this around, seems legit

Had to kick the vcore up 0.01 but still a very acceptable max temp of 85C

That's better, but you really want to be seeing 128 GFLOPS for that clock (80% of 32*5 GHz). 5800 MB is apparently not enough.

You might need to choose maximum memory, run it to suck up all the free memory, stop it, again at max, etc. until you're right at the memory limit. However, that might push it to paging off the HDD, which ruins the test. Getting it up to 7000 say would probably get you to 128 GFLOPS.
 
Unfortunately I did have a casualty with one of the e2140s. I was using a razor blade (the uber paper thing ones) and when i rocked it under the corner on one side I accidentally slipped and scored a chunk out of the PCB. I still have it to this day knocking about my toolbox and the house as have been meaning to make a keyring out of it or something. I would love to gt it working again. I might find it and open it back up and see if it is repairable, as talked about earlier in this thread by taping it up or something.

Exactly what happened to me, if I delid again I will definitely only trust a Stanley blade or a plastic knife. :D

still good, i was hitting those temps @4.5 on air, anyone know the max volts for these chips under water?

I personally wouldn't go over 1.35V on air or water. Though if it's alright up to 1.52V which I think sounds a bit much for these chips, I would go up to 1.45V water, 1.35 on air.

I'm Prime95ing my 3570K, 1.4V 4.7GHz 86C on hottest core, the others are 77C-85 as per the usual order. Is it because the 2nd and 3rd core are in the middle that they are always hotter? Must be. :)

If it's stable I may leave it at 4.7 for a while as it doesn't really go over 70C during gaming which I think isn't that bad?

I want to delid this so badly! XD NOT. FAIR.

EDIT:

Wasn't even stable at 1.4V. May have something to do with PLL still being at 1.5V but I don't know really.

Dropped back down because I realise I'm a gamer and it has no benefit for me running the chip any faster.

So, got aboit bored and had my trusty stanley knife in my pocket from work...

its harder then you think being honest..

all sorted, scuffed to $hite and pretty much stuffed it up, oh well it was a dog of a chip! voltage hungry and hot!

Might aswell clean it up and see what the damage is..

Only had some chill factor 3 from my silver arrow extreme (which i don't rate) so put it all back together and ready to add a 3705k to the basket for saturday delivery..atleast its on offer! :p

Well, booted it up and didn't want to look at the screen... to my surprise it actually booted up fine :D

Temps are good but not had a chance to play, i'd say there down 10c across the board though!

Whats the best Paste to use on the chip and whats best to use for the heatsink (unless there the same..

Its not hard though, no special tools, used my dirty old stanley knife and some kitchen towel and some alcoholic hand cleaner lol!
 
best for both including the heatsink?

The last two cores are hotter then the first two, if i've got my vores the right way round (in my head) then that's the ones i skimped on the TIM so that will be why, although at idle all numbers move in unison.

yeah, kind off but obviously nothing serious, its more my stanley blades are 'fat' so they actually bent the whole PCB somewhat, but once in the clamp on the board its all flat.

I expect i'll get some wet and dry and give the lid a polish unless i could run without the lid..

The flat type razor blades used for getting paint of glass etc would be perfect...infact i had some in the van but n/m
 
I planned to use GC-Extreme on both.

As for razor blades, shaving ones are what caused me to nick my pcb, because they are bendy and very sharp at the corners. I think stanley or the snap off ones are ideal.

Lap that lid. :D
 
I'll get some of the liquid metal (ultra probably though?) under the lid and maybe some gc extreme for the heat sink as I've been looking at getting some for a while. I'm also considering getting a water cooling kit this weekend, something like the OCUK V10 or similar but I'm wondering if I could comfortably cram it all in my Antec P280.

I'm currently using the thermalright silver arrow extreme but would be interested in clamping it directly to die... Pretty sure it's more then possibly with the fitting kit I've got installed but what about differnt shims so i dont apply to much pressure? Where have the other guys put them?
