August 9, 20159 yr So.... is "stock" Skylake useless under LN2 without a TIM-swap? Seriously.... a possible load swing of 160 degrees? I dont plan to be voiding an warranty on a AUD$525 CPU though.
August 9, 20159 yr Don't need to de-lid for extreme OC on LN2. See for yourself. Dang, Josh looking slick as ever!
August 9, 20159 yr Crew Don't need to de-lid for extreme OC on LN2. See for yourself. Nive vid, though let it run something and you might be surprised... CPU-Z stability is not the only thing what we seek for
August 10, 20159 yr Problem is not in idle of course but rather in exhausting benchmarks and this i can think of xtu,cinebench,3dmark cpu tests. In any case i would be very carefull when delidding this time,cpu has traces on all pcb unlike haswell where half of cpu was not in danger.Add the thinner pcb and you see what i mean.
August 10, 20159 yr I dont plan to be voiding an warranty on a AUD$525 CPU though. So....you'll be running at stock, then?
August 10, 20159 yr Don't need to de-lid for extreme OC on LN2. See for yourself. At a certain point the stock TIM will give up and the frequency will drop down by 500-600 MHz on load. Saw this several times now with skylake CPUs. Dancop also had a good 6600K which could run around 6,2 GHz first using the stock TIM. After few benchsessions he could not exceed 5,8 GHz anymore. Swapping the TIM with Kryonaut he could do 6,3 GHz.
August 10, 20159 yr At a certain point the stock TIM will give up and the frequency will drop down by 500-600 MHz on load. Do Haswell and Devil Canyon also suffer from this?
August 10, 20159 yr I dont plan to be voiding an warranty on a AUD$525 CPU though. Maybe this will be up your alley lol https://click.intel.com/tuningplan/
August 10, 20159 yr Do Haswell and Devil Canyon also suffer from this? No they don't. Deliding there actually might cost you some frequency instead of gaining. This is only for Sub-Zero, ambient, deliding will help you.
August 10, 20159 yr I know Ivy lost frequency when delidded but I thought Haswell and DC didn't change at all, except that the cold bug may move a bit because of the different thermal transfer rates.
August 10, 20159 yr Dancop delidded his golden 4770K over 10 times because the paste kept getting bad. So I wouldn't say it's bad for DC or Haswell.
August 11, 20159 yr So the price of honesty is exactly USD $30? That's depressing. That's a little steep. I'm feeling the $25 for the 4770K
August 11, 20159 yr If you want to be an honest person... that's actually a good deal lol That statement does not represent me as a person.
August 11, 20159 yr popped my cherry tonight and delidded a two chips no issue's. It's crazy how light the actual cpu/silicon substrate is in comparison to the ihs. All in all just use a razor blade, simplest method even for a noob like me. Thanks for this guide Splave.
August 15, 20159 yr "Under ln2 without Delid running XTU we are going postive temps at -145c hits 20c loaded." What about after delid what were the temps like for LN2, did you still hit positive temps ? Edited August 16, 20159 yr by lilchronic
September 1, 20159 yr So the question is, how do I get a large tube as cheaply as possible to Australia?
