Yes. I think Der8auers findings mirror those of gamersnexus.
The 9980XE might be better once delidded.. assuming you don't destroy the thing in the process. We wont know until someone tries using liquid metal successfully.

Yes it probably will be better when pushed to the absolute limit, as these will be higher binned than the 7980xe.
Still ballsy doimg that to a $2k cpu
lets hope can revive it. Shame to kill a CPU like that,Will be very interesting to see how these do delidded, expect at like for like, will do better then the 7980XE given its on 14nm++ vs 14nm+
7980XE performs great once delidded. Mine has been performing flawlessly overclocked. If that is a standard 9980XE and not cherry picked then it is nice based on voltages he is using. Mine is cherry picked 7980XE and will use around 1.15v for a 4.6Ghz cinebench run, so if its a run of the mill 9980XE doing 4.6GHz at 1.2v, then that's pretty nice as he no doubt has some headroom in there also. Cherry picked ones would be very nice to see!

Gamers nexus asked him to. He said himself he wasn't going to but they were curious about how a delid and lm would affect oc potential given the limited headroom at stock.

Looks like a few capacitors have been knocked off...
I may be missing something here, but if I was him I'd at least try re-attaching them. Nothing to lose.
Edit: just watched the end, and he will try it...

He did explain it in the vid though... more to see how the solder and variation in core temps could be improved.
But if it the same silicon as the 7980xe isn’t that already known?
The only difference is it’s soldered so obviously not...

There's an extra + as well i think, same change as the coffee lake refresh.
14+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++?
The extra + is for the extra money.
That’s my point. The only difference is the STIM so once you remove that you effectively end up with a 7980XE, which has already been done and tested. The 9980XE didn’t even get the hardware mitigations for spectre that the Coffee Lake refresh got.

Yes, also this is a given not to delid due to what we already knew about the changed TI. Respect to Roman for killing one, though
Yeah that’s my point was he is testing to see if it’s better temp results by removing the solder? Basically this is exactly what he explains in his video, which has obviously not been done... I know it’s the same chip but not sure why you can’t understand him doing it to.
