could do

one thing you need aswell is to use liquid pro thermal paste between the die/heatsink and heatsink/cooler

I just tried with mx4 and the temps were exactly the same as before I delidded

with liquid metal pro they dropped 15-20c

ah, only got mx4(if i can find it) and as5..
 
you might do ok,im just speaking from when I tried mx4 and temps were the same for me,until I used the pro stuff and that drastically lowered temps
 
I used AS5 when i took the HS off my 3570k, lowered the temps around 10 degs, at first it was bout 15 then after it settled it raised another 5. I have a nasty lil chip though it gets really hot, i packed my chip lvl with the die and cooled the die directly but it made hardly any difference, guess i just got a hot one.
 
Might do,aslong is I'm under 1.4v and 80c I'm happy,I have all the power saving enabled so I won't be running it at full voltage/speeds all the time
 
Aye its tempting, just a wee bit scary when i see all these posts about 4600 1.24v etc and here i am and you doing around 1.37 1.38 for 4700 and 4800.

Have you noticed anything games wise that gave an fps jump?

Also did you lower PLL or stick with 1.8? I had to go to 1.65v to get stability and temps in order.
 
Yeah 1.65v pll havnt noticed in games,I can be bench stable at much lower voltage 1.32v but games always crashed to desktop,1.38v is fully stable,my 2600k CPU needs 1.35v for 4.5ghz and its been fine for over a year

I only cut one corner with a snap off cutter/blade then inserted a very thin plastic card/or lid and that did the rest,no nicks at all

the plastic is the best method,it cut the lid off in about 15 seconds and it doesn't cut the pcb like a metal blade would

The videos on youtube make it look so scary using just a razor blade.

I used your method and it was so simple.. once i had the plastic card in, it poped straight off!... only using as5 atm but looks like i have droped load temp by 12c

ohh well done,and yeah just cut through one corner and aim the blade upward away from the pcb

i used a cut down chinese take away plastic container lid,it was off in 10 seconds and no damage

if you use that liquid pro youll see an even bigger temp drop

Mind if i ask whats the reason for the change Ollie? Id have thought that the 3770k would be a slightly faster cpu than the 2600k.

My 3770k when overclocked to 4.5Ghz is ridiculusly hot. The person thats getting it is using it in an mITX build so won't really be OC'ing it. I reckon with a 2600k I'll be able to get to 4.8Ghz+ with my loop with temps a lot lower than my 3770k gives.
 
Ahh, what sort of temps was it hitting? And did you not consider de-lidding it. Currently on a 4.5ghz 3570k here, (75c max at 100% load, air cooled) but im gonna change to a 3770k soon. It is rather annoying that theese chips run so hot though.

Hits around 90C under full load. My case does get very very hot due to lacking front fans currently... but my GPU's temps underload don't even breach 40C so the CPU has to be the thing thats so damn hot.
 
A poorly cooled case doesnt help thats for sure, my xl in sig does have 3 front and 1 bottom intake. However, there might as well be no fans on the front, as the case has an almost entirely closed front panel, except for two 1/2" wide mesh strips. An out of breath smoker would generate better airflow.:D
