I was lucky enough to track down a strong chip (4.8GHz XTU at 1.35V) but unlucky enough to get one with a cold bug. I've taken it cold four times now and every time, I've run into the same CB. This is with voltages that work perfectly for other Skylake chips. When I kept hitting the CB, I didn't try much more other than validating 6.2 or so. It will boot fine at 6GHz, 1.75V, and -120°C but it's pretty much untested beyond that.

 

However, it's a very strong ambient chip. It'll run 4.9/4.9 XTU at 1.415V and 5.0/4.9 at just over 1.50V. 5G boot at 1.40V.

 

Here's a 4.8/4.8 run at 1.35V set in BIOS. Note that this crashes sometimes so 1.355 or 1.360 may be required, depending on LLC settings and board).

Does damage only applies to IHS or also to CPU itself?

 

Cooler/Waterblock has poor contact due to dented border?

 

Regards

There are very slight indents on the PCB that you can see if you look closely.

 

 

The large dent in the top left is raised slightly over the surface of the CPU but contact has not been an issue with my water block or pot, as is demonstrated by the load temperatures of XTU.

Sorry if its a dumb question, but since CPU was delidded, it was (afterwards) relidded with CLU or Kryonaut? or just the delid failed?

 

Regards

Delidded successfully. Kryonaut on the die currently but the IHS has not been re-glued.

Thanks. What is usually used as glue? Will Liquid electrical tape do the job?

 

Regards

LET would probably work but I know black silicone is often what is used by others. I think I've seen this linked before.

 

However, glue isn't really necessary, in my opinion. The Kryonaut holds the IHS on pretty well as long as you don't go flinging the chip around or prying at it.

Pulling this from sale for the time being. One more test to see if I can get pas the cold bug.......

Opening this back up. Don't have time to test it... need it gone. Send me offers.
