Ok so more than happy with temps
but my gflops are low, how can i rectify this? is there anything wrong with my oc? prime and ibt are stable?

H100 with corsair HP SP air fans
nice was wondering why the temps were low
Those fans go so well with the H100.
Reminds me I got my H100 here hopefully the pump is fixed in this one !
because i took the IHS off the CPU and replaced the ***p intel put underneath with liquid pro.
So this is the knife i bought -
it has a very thin blade but still there was only one corner i could get it under to begin with, once it was under i down to the next corner, to the next, to the next.
This were my tools of mass destruction! lol
This is what it looked like once i got the lid off but thats not the end of it
This is what it looked like after a long time spent cleaning it, the silicon is a biznitch to get off the IHS
I used my finger nails to clean off the silicon, it was too dodgy with the knife, it just took a while
If you take a look at where the notch is for the socket locator, notice i did nip the pcb
luckily it was the very edge!
trust me a steady hand and patience is all you need, even 4.8GHz @ 1.42v didnt go over 75c after 10hrs of prime
ok ty sin

is the 3820 soldered?
only ivy has NOT been soldered!!!!!!!

Makes you wonder. a £3 job makes the chip work properly. What's Intel thinking.
Maybe along the lines of 'whatever'.
Special '3790K Overclock MGHZ' edition? tsk tsk... Solder that thing!

Based on the number of failed attempts, it averages slightly more than a £3 job

haha a £3 gamble more like,probably due to cost they use the cheapest thermal paste they can get their mits on?
true dat!

lol people need more patience and a steady hand!
i think it is all down to cost and they didnt want ivy to out shine haswell which i think it will
haswell is all about the igpu!

After changing my motherboard it meant that I had to remove the 3570k that I de-lidded. I was surprised at how staining the liquid pro has been.
I had use it on both surfaces of the IHS. The copper bottom of the CPU cooler was quite stained and patchy and the lid of the CPU has stained so that you couldn't easily read what is written on it. The underside of the IHS (above the core) is discoloured slightly.
It took quite a bit of work to get the surface of the CPU cooler to be stain free again, I was surprised at how much it must have penetrated. I thought that it didn't have an adverse effect on copper..?
I have removed the liquid metal now (too messy to apply easily) and instead used this...

...it is very easy to apply and the overall temps seem about 3 or 4 degrees higher at most.
The liquid metal pro is a superb TIM in its cooling capabilities but in use it can be difficult to apply and if you should ever drip a small amount on your board you can have real trouble in removing it. I was quite enthused about it at first but I just couldn't see myself using it again.

well i have a tin of brasso and a tin of elbow grease ready if i ever need to remove my cpu
thanks for the heads up on the Gelid Solutions i will keep that in mind but i have to say i am taken by LP

It was more of a cautionary tale for others who may be tempted to use it
As noted it is a phenomenally good TIM at cooling but it does have some serous drawbacks. When Stulid did his TIM test...

it did agree with the points that I made about the LP and how close the other TIM that I used is, in terms of its cooling capability.
I would not recommend using LP at all. For the 3 or 4c difference I would sooner use the Gelid Solutions one which is so very easy to spread and has none of the other drawbacks of using the LP.

Even Stulid said it was a great TIM the only draw back is the amount of effort needed to clean it up.
For regular users who will not be de lidding i recommend a std TIM like the Gelid but for those who seek a drop im temps by de lidding i recommend LP, as shown in this thread the temp diff between MX4 and LP under the IHS was very very noticeable!
MX4 / LP / Difference
core 0 44c 39c 5c
core 1 43c 38c 5c
core 2 45c 36c 11c
core 3 46c 39c 5c
those few degrees can mean a lot to an OC'er

OMG liquid pro FTW
CPU Cooler H100, 10 mins of prime @ stock, Liquid pro on CPU and IHS (UNCURED!)
CPU Cooler H100, 10 mins of prime @ stock, MX5 on CPU and IHS
CPU Cooler H100, 10 mins of prime @ stock, MX5 on IHS only
tell me this is not the best results!
