Skylake Delid

Suprised Intel dont solder all their processors just for the fact they will run cooler and give enthusiasts better performance. Or atleast better quality TIM. 18c difference is bad. Might aswell use nutella, probably would cool better.

I suggested to Intel on k SKU CPU on mainstream platform.

Get rid of IGPU
Get rid of ddr3 comp
Solder IHS.

I don't know any enthusiast who would not pay more for these amendments. This situation of delid etc is such a pain in the ass. People just want maximum perf zero junk added in a K SKU CPU.

Can you use the naked ivy kit from EK for Skylake?
And do I have to worry about hitting anything with CLU or there is no risk of doing that?
I don't want to kill a chip worth half of my salary, lol.
 
Don't see why the naked ivy kit wouldn't work. Apparently though it doesn't make a massive difference to temps. With clu, keep it in the CPU die as it is conductive.
 
As long as it is 8-10 C under water, it is worth it for me.
I will probably wait for someone to do that first and give results with AIO / custom loop.
 
1-3c with the naked mount, upto 20c best case scenario on haswell/devils canyon but using the ihs clamped in place. Not sure if you would get as high a drop on skylake.

Maybe the 'poor' TIM is there to cause overheating issues well before an overclocker could push the voltage to damaging levels.

It could be a cunning plan by intel, extreme overclocker delids and gets 6.5ghz+ on LN2, gaming folk want faster speeds after seeing gains from de-lidding, have a go themselves, nick the pcb in the process and warranty is now void so they buy another :D

Doesn't Skylake have thinner PCB and possibly different die thickness from Ivy though? I would have thought they could affect the mount height.
