Got it done, force required was obscene, also some shaving from the unit came out from the bit you tighten and there is a kind of dent left on the unit above the delid screw bit.
Also the screw hole you tighten to delid is bulging out now, i don't think it moved like it should have, doubt i would try another cpu with it, what do other people think?.
Would this be grounds for a return?, i did use it correctly.
I had no problems with my temps before on my 4790k before but i was curious to try it anyway.
Only had time for 15 min runs - this is before delid after 15 mins of realbench.
Cpu @ 1.32v 4.8
And after.
You see the marks left on the tool?, have you seen that before?.
It was a silly amount of force needed, i was 100% sure the cpu was knackered.
Out of interest what paste did you use for the die to ihs after the delid for those temps?
And what difference has it made to your overclock?
I checked it with one of my tools today and this happens if you keep screwing after the CPU is already delidded.
The IHS can only move 2 mm inside the tool to protect the CPU. So if you keep turning the screw after delidding the CPU, it will build up a lot of pressure between the slider and the IHS. That's why you have to keep track of the IHS through the small window.
So i should or shouldn't send back?, i stopped as soon as i heard the click.
