Delidding 3930k cpu

[subbytna]

Is it worth doing? I've a H100 with Corsair SP 120s on it and my temps are ok (idle 30's and load in 60s) for an overclock of 4.2 (dialled my 4.5 back)

Is it worth delidding and trying or is the TIM used on the i7 3930k decent enough. Anyone with the same CPU delidded it?

...just to add it's more for a tinker that I'm thinking of doing it with the delidding tool.

the 3930k is soldered so good luck with that

Doesnt the 3930k use solder? If not, don't do it.

As above you cannot delid a 3930K without almost certainly breaking it, and even if by some miracle you don't you will only reduce performance by replacing solder with TIM.

Well you can technically delid a sandybridge, but you'll need a hot plate, its been done with Haswell-e and Broadwell-e but the results of the Indium solder vs Liquid pro/ultra are debatable

 

[Yaayuh!]

Nope, not worth doing at all, would advise wholeheartedly against the idea.

Ah ok cool, didn't realise it was soldered. That'll be money saved on a delidding tool then lol. Cheers for the heads up. Disaster averted!

You were just waiting for the "I've delidded my 3930k and now it doesn't work" thread title weren't you
