Intel 12 Series De-Lid

[Nickolp1974]

Are there any more options currently other than the Rockit cool?? That ones around $100 shipped from the US or is there a distributor in the UK?? Anyone else interested in this???

Is it even worth doing with 12th series?

if you like OC then yes, about 12c on average to be gained so another speed bin is possible, 5.3 to 5.4 etc. or if you just want a cooler cpu

I have just received mine this week along with the copper IHS, only other that I know of is by supercool computers a direct die waterblock and delid kit but not for sale yet although people have got from discord etc.

are you selling on MM after de lid??

many links I can check to see this 12c drop?

ihs on 12th gen still not soldered on?

yes it is

I personally wouldn't bother with a de-lid.

We seem to be at a point where we are not limited by temps on hardware to push further, the silicon is just maxed out.

???? we are always limited by temps if you want to push cpu silicone to higher clocks

Perhaps I’ve not explained what I mean really well.

Let me use a 3090 graphics card as an example, you could watercool it and have really low temps but you won’t be able to push it any further than you could on air.

You’re hitting the limit of the hardware long before you’re limited by temperatures.

Years ago you’d hit issues with temps which would stop you pushing further so you’d need to reduce them to be able to overclock more.

ermmm graphics cards have power limit restraints. CPU's dont

as an example a 12900k at 1.4v on water may hit 5.4ghz at the same voltage on Ln2 say at -180c will possibly hit 6ghz, temps mean a lot with cpu's

Ah ok fair enough.

I was aware that exotic cooling would enable cpus to reach massively high clock speeds.

I was under the assumption that everyday cooling wouldn’t enable far higher clock speeds, e.g a high end air cooler vs custom loop.

If I’ve got it wrong then it’s good to learn something new.

all depends on the cpu sample, some will react well some wont. going from AIO to custom water may net you 100hz, de lid maybe another 100hz, worth it to some, pointless to others.

Delidding is not for most users

My 1st CPU i did, lot easier these days and less of a worry with the tools you can get now. https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/de-lidded-3770k.18451271/
