  1. Its common knowledge skylake TIM is less than optimal, So I had some Indium Foil left over from some previous playing around.... INNNNDIUMMM, very heavy for just a small thin sheet. Its about 2-3 sheets of paper thick. Nice size piece over the die, it shrinks a little when it melts. Melting point is 157c so went well above that. "A rapid cool down is desired to form a fine grain structure. Slow cooling will form a large grain structure, which typically exhibits poor fatigue resistance. The acceptable cooling range is -0.5 to -6.0C/second (-2.0 to -6.0C/second is ideal)." Tried to maintain this using ln2 to cool it back down. Finished Product is nice and strong which is a good sign. :yepp: End Result, not great, not bad. 4ghz Core 1.35v through XTU on water cooling. Conclusion Will try a couple other ideas. Maybe the foil is to thin or too thick. Could stack 2 layers. Maybe my application is totally wrong. Either way hopefully indium company engineers respond to my email with some ideas. Keep thinking outside the box, one of these times its bound to be a home run.
  2. Im taking the stance, bench what you like and are good at not everything is necessary
  3. you guys are killing me Max OCer Golibersuch
  4. Baby is due soon have to pack a couple months of benching in all at once lol
  5. Open calculator and divide by zero during run Thanks guys
  6. All quoted Prices include Priority shipping the USA, International please PM. GTX580 Lightning, Never Seen Cold, Switch Covers intact on each. $125 shipped Each $210 Both HD5870 Lightning $125 Shipped ASUS VII Gene z97 with all accessories, has been ln2 preped with LET. Its removable but I would rather sell it cheap. $100 Shipped
  7. seems a bit high right? very competitive category though
  8. why do we need full pot? are we that lazy In actuality you can buy garbage paste that comes with rosewill air coolers and have no CB because the temps are so bad. Its better to see a "no cold bug" cpu get delid and TIM swap and have -150c cold bug. Would you rather have 6ghz cpu with no CB or 6.3ghz with -150c cold bug lol
