Skylake IHS Spacer

[der8auer]

That could work out good aswell How will you test exactly?

[joe_cool]

First i can test improvement at my -115°c idle cascade only, but last 2 weeks at march i have time to test it with let say 200l ln2.

Till then i will make some different backplates and maybe some bigger fullcover ihs copper blocks for socket mounting.

Count me in, you can ship me a pack and I can mail to anyone in the US wanting to try it.

 

Ship me one boss

[joe_cool]

First step, direct from milling machine...

 

 

 

 

[der8auer]

looks great

[joe_cool]

Finished with microstructure surface.

[Alex@ro]

I have to say,this looks wonderfull

[websmile]

Awesome, Marc. If this works with your cascade next stop gold

[Alex@ro]

Since we are talking about this,has anyone got any opinion how a silver IHS would perform? given that it has 10% higher conductivity than copper i think it could be an alternative to copper? Don't know the costs,but does it matter when we talk about overclocking?

[der8auer]

Looks great Will be interesting to see how it performs.

@alex: Silver would perform better, yes. It's just a guess but 200-300€

[Alex@ro]

If gains are sensitive i can see a winner

[joe_cool]

Thx guys!!

 

With little gimmick.

 

 

[websmile]

This reminds me very much of your legendary mem pot - stylish

[Gunslinger]

Thx guys!!

Would be interesting to take this and expand on it, instead of a just the IHS, make it into the base of a 2 piece pot, which would reduce 1 copper to TIM contact point. The retention bracket would be the next problem I guess.

Awesome idea, I'm interested in how heat transfer capabilities are like compared to the stock IHS. Waiting for results

 

Tip: next time don't use comic sans font, Its horrible

Don't worry guys, Roman will test it this weekend @ ln2.

Nobody test the pot directly on CPU die, with some plate protection to retain the chip in the socket? I've see some stuff like that on FB.

[der8auer]

Plate only wont work. You have to cut the edges of the socket because the edges are higher than the die.

[I.nfraR.ed]

Naked die works with AIO CooerMaster Nepton which has big base. Don't see why it would be different for LN2 pot.

No retention bracket of course.

 

PS: On a second look you might be right though. I was getting good contact, but have overlooked this fact. The die is very thin.

I guess you have measured it.

 

PS2: I think it is just enough. At least on the OCF. The die is a little above corners of socket, but almost the same height. Will even act like a stopper to prevent excessive clamping force. Not sure it will be enough though. Had that idea to try it, but still haven't.

This should be a solution to avoid cut edges?

 

 

Or the edges still touch the pot?

[der8auer]

 

You can get it to work sometimes but it will have a bad contact. Solution would be to cut the edges and use the aquacomputer spacer.

Or using custom made

[I.nfraR.ed]

What if you rotate the pot by 45 degrees (e.g. F1EE has relatively small base)? Then it should work without cutting corners.

Will have to fasten it with something else though. Or make a custom "diagonal" mounting kit.

Hi guys

i'm using this method but strangly those edges were not a problem at all [maximus viii gene],

i'm just using some thick Tape,they fix cpu on socket and also help the die to handle pot pressure,thats a messy method but works fine in short times.

 

pot directly on die[gelid between them] = cinebench 6200 and xtu 6140mhz and it was good for a chip that can not pass cinebench more than 5900 and 5800 xtu with "pot on ihs" method

 

i had not grizzly and i was using a [maybe] rotten Gelid , but i used the same thermal paste for those bench sessions.
