Very well done my friend

Got two times 3218C017 (Costa Rica) here. Let's see how they go.

No but I didn't read anywhere that it's forbidden to submit older scores or use a background So just submitted this one. (Talking about GBT contest)

Yea the chip is dead

Actually this is pretty weired. What kind of glue did you guys use? And how did you glue the IHS back on?

Sick! Nice work.

Batch was: 3213B440

i got no idea.. It justed died idle while I tried to put 1,4 v on it and set multi to 46.

Yea that was the chopped one... That sucks pretty hard. Was a realy good CPU.

My CPU just died Srsly no idea why? 4,2 GHz, 1,2 Volt on air. Wanted to clock to 1,4 Volt 4,8GHz with GTL on GIGABYTE UD3H and it froze. Now CPU is dead. WTF

Waza - Y U NO STABLE?

nice work there! I heard using springs gives 1s boost

Yea Check this thread for more: http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?p=175766

I think every TIM is better than the intel stock one. The quality is so bad it's already completely dry now after few months Ivy is out. If you can choose between MX2 and Ceramique 2 - pick the first one.

I also thought that. So GELID Extreme should be good enough.

Here we go Nice work guys! riska it will be interesting how liquid metal performs sub zero.

Actually telling differences in temperature in Celcius is just wrong. Kelvin is the correct measuring unit for it That's how university changes you @ Chris: Yea I know Just could not resist trying it.

The prices are listed anyway on http://www.der8auer.de so they are not a secret Fusion rev3 is 185€ Raptor rev2 is 180€ We'll arrange something over PM Actually full copper is quite cheap. I only have to work on one piece of metal which will be same price as working on a aluminium top and then fix them together.

Thanks dino. I just wish it would clock more in SuperPi32m...

Thanks my friends

Thanks guys I don't know whether this is just an issue with my IHS but the inner surface is not as planar as it could be. The edges of the DIE have a little more space to the IHS than the center. That's why I used "quite much" thermal paste. The result shows that it can't be that bad

Thanks guys

PC-Watch published a test few days ago about changing the TIM on Ivy Bridge CPUs. 5-10°C better was the result. But what about LN2? I tested it for you! My test is based on the test of PC-Watch: IHS removal, change the TIM and glue the IHS back on. First I tested the CPU on air to see the changes. To show the full profit I used LN2 aswell. Step 1: Pretesting on air Setup: Intel Core i7-3770K GIGABYTE Z77X-UD3H 4 GB G.Skill 2133 9-10-9-28 Scythe Katana 3 Gelid Extreme der8auer Fusion rev3 For the test on air I clocked the CPU to 4200 MHz at 1,224 Volt and tested for 20 minutes using Prime95 large FFTs. To avoid mistakes I mounted the Scythe Katana 3 times. After 20 mins the maximum temperature reached 83°C. I straight noticed that Core 0 was a lot cooler than the rest. Step 2: IHS removal Ivy CPUs are not soldered anymore as PC-Watch already showed. Using a razorblade the IHS was removed after a couple of minutes. Cleaning the chip I straight noticed that the stock TIM is realy bad quality and already completely dry. That's not how a thermal paste should look after few months. Step 3: Change to GELID Extreme GELID Extreme seemed to be one of the best pastes in the past for extreme overclocking. So I put a little bit in the middle and spread it over the chip. Step 4: Glue the IHS back on The IHS is not only protecting the DIE - it's also important for the correct mounting. So I decided to glue the IHS back on to the CPU PCB using some normal silicone glue. To get the correct pressure I put the CPU back in the socket and left it there for about 24 hours. Step 5: Retesting on air I used exactly the same settings and also 20 minutes of prime 95 to get a compareable value. The difference in cores 1-3 is about 5 kelvin. But core 0 is much cooler with about 8-9 Kelvin. I'm sure this is one of the reasons why the CPUs clock much higher with only core 0 active. Step 6: Let's get the LN2! I tested this CPU already last week on wPrime to get a comparable result. 6293 MHz were 1024m stable. More voltage did not result in higher clocks. [hwbot=2281599]submission[/hwbot] Now after using the GELID Extreme between IHS and DIE I was able to push the CPU to 6385 MHz. Almost 100 MHz more and ranked 4th here on HWBot [hwbot=2286149]submission[/hwbot] Benching wPrime32m I could push the CPU to 6437 MHz - ranked 2nd global! [hwbot=2286147]submission[/hwbot] Conclusion: I would not recommend this to 24/7 users. 5-9°C more is not worth losing the warranty of a 300 € chip. However extreme overclockers can get some extra MHz changing the thermal paste Note: This is just a shorted and translated version of my original Test at PCGHX Forums: http://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/extreme-kuehlmethoden/218944-extreme-test-wlp-wechseln-bei-ivy-bridge.html

Well better than not listening to feedback or? If you buy another pot in future I will give you a good discount
