Splave Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Reference For Die Size and to show no FIVR in the way. Test Used: Wprime1024 5.1ghz 1.48v Before: 96C hit and failed within seconds (hard to tell what load after 2 minutes would have been probably 105+) After: 78C Warmest core and passed :thumb: Under ln2 without Delid running XTU we are going postive temps at -145c hits 20c loaded. :o So I would suggest everyone delid Replace TIM under IHS and then put IHS back on. Skylake bottom Devils Canyon top The PCB is thin and Ive heard of it breaking in a vice, so I would stick to razor. Press in on each of the 4 corners then do the sides last. Vice method fail (not me lol) Also would suggest if you plan to let the ihs float instead of resealing (so you can keep it fresh) loosen the hold down first so you arent forcing the ihs to slide forward under pressure, then tighten the screws after brining the lever down Quote
Lucky_n00b Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Awesome post, would try it myself with the retail Quote

rsnubje Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Just a wild guess ofcourse Just stating that it's not just an installation tool. Might aswell be an IHS holder 2 Days ago when I was testing these boards, I was like: why the hell would anyone need this? Now I'm like: Oh, darn, this thing is useful after all. Quote

Strong Island Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 thanks for sharing, That's amazing that the temps would swing to 20c, that sucks really. Quote

Bruno Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Nice! Thank you for sharing. What TIM did you use? Quote
K404 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Candidate for best post of 2015? Thankyou So.... is "stock" Skylake useless under LN2 without a TIM-swap? Seriously.... a possible load swing of 160 degrees? Quote
der8auer Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 From my experience you gain 100-300 MHz on ln2 by swapping the TIM Quote
K404 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 ....and, Intel are committed to overclocking.....how, exactly? (thanks for the info) I guess that a soldered IHS would be an easy new product release for them, should it be necessary. Lower temps, more MHz. Marketing dream. Quote
KngtRider Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 So.... is "stock" Skylake useless under LN2 without a TIM-swap? Seriously.... a possible load swing of 160 degrees? Don't need to de-lid for extreme OC on LN2. See for yourself. Quote
