Ivy Bridge Temperatures Could Be Linked To TIM Inside Integrated Heatspreader: Report

[Twirlywoos]

liquid pro on the die and in between cpu cooler

can use mx4 inbetween the cooler if you want but best results would be with the pro

and no it wont hold the ihs down,best to just say its a delidded chip,the retention bracket clamps everything in place when using it

hi wazza

will the retention bracket on the h100 hold a de-lidded CPU down or will I need those screws linked above?

If not, the temperature difference with a lapped IHS is still impressive, so I will probably attempt this during next week too.

edit - I seem to recall discussions on 2 versions of the coollaboratory stuff, liquid pro and liquid ultra. OCUK seem to stock only the liquid pro. Is the Ultra better?

your motherboard retention bracket will hold the cpu/ihs in place

then you just mount the h100 cooler/pump head onto it with the mounting brackets that come with the cooler

Is there much of an improvement from leaving the IHS off altogether? Only heard about it for the first time yesterday.

not much i would have thought

you'll be limited by high cpu voltages before high temps after delidding imo
