Posted September 1, 20159 yr As you already know Skylake overclock depends greatly on TIM used.It is now more important than ever for both ambient and extreme users to use a quality TIM for maximizing overclocks. Since overclocking Skylake is pretty much apply voltage and frequency and start i made a short test with stock tim versus two quality solutions from Gelid and Grizzly . I used for this a good single-stage made by nachtfalke who kept a steady temperature of -56 idle -53 load on xtu benchmark . Having a steady temperature and avoiding variations helps greatly test data so i have to give credit to nachtfalke for being a great builder and also a good friend Long story short: SINGLE STAGE -56 IDLE -53 LOAD Intel I7 6700K @ 1.58V Frequency for completing XTU benchmark : Test #1 Cpu not delidded,stock TIM between DIE and IHS,Gelid GC EXTREME between IHS and EVAPORATOR. Results : TERRIBLE Stock TIM is a disaster and Intel should be sued for letting chips like these out of factory,maximum temperature was 54 degrees,maximum frequency 5070... Test #2 Cpu not delidded,stock TIM between DIE and IHS,Grizzly Kryonaut between IHS and EVAP Results : POS but better Kryonaut improved the result by 12 degrees and maximum frequency is now 5120 ... Test #3 Cpu delidded,Gelid GC-Extreme between DIE and IHS,Grizzly Kryonaut between IHS and EVAP Results : Good Replacing stock TIM with Gelid GC Extreme slashed another 19 degrees and maximum frequency is now 5190 for XTU Test #3 Cpu delidded, Grizzly Kryonaut between DIE and IHS,Grizzly Kryonaut between IHS and EVAP Results : Excellent Grizzly Kryonaut between DIE and IHS slashed another 10 degrees and gained 100 mhz more for a decent frequency of 5290 XTU test... Conclusion : Kryonaut is an excellent product and should be taken into consideration by anyone who knows what he is doing when overclocking. A good tool for overclockers deserves credit and this goes to Roman ! Edited September 1, 20159 yr by Alex@ro
September 1, 20159 yr Author Thanks,i hope this solved many people that bench chillers or single-stages dilemmas.
September 1, 20159 yr Great test and info Alex, and what's are using to fix temporally then IHS to the chip!? Thanks for sharing !
September 1, 20159 yr Nice little test Alex, thanks now where can i get 20g tubes of Kryonaut?? Actually any size, not sure if theres any in the UK!
September 1, 20159 yr Ebay UK has some from a German seller. It ain't cheap! More importantly: thankyou Alex for doing this testing and posting it up
September 7, 20159 yr Where can I buy grizzly In the US I think Performance-PCS should have some in stock
