M.Beier Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Hi lads, I asked no#1 Intel expert that I know of this question, but he did not want to comment, because its undocumented pins, but perhaps, being HWBOT, someone know and can give a friendly heads up. Picture found on google, I didnt do a picture when delid.. Its the 4 pins close to DIE I would like to know... Thing is, I am considering LM TIM, and I don't feel too safe with pins that close... Any advice? Silikone on the pins just in case? Quote
der8auer Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Just put some normal thermal paste on top to cover it. Quote
nickolp1974 Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Or use nail varnish if your into that type of thing. Quote
RULE Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 I use dielectric tape on it Inviato dal mio SM-A300FU utilizzando Tapatalk Quote
M.Beier Posted February 3, 2017 Author Posted February 3, 2017 Ended up putting the LM TIM carefully on the IHS and very little on DIE. Improved my temperature ~4-5C at 5GHz 1.275V, however, at higher frequencies and voltages, what a world of difference! 5400 CB15 on water, no problem.... 5200MHz P95 8-8 no problem.... (5300 possible but high voltage) Thanks for your suggestions, and the regular TIM, nail or tape, I will use on my... i3-7100T, I would like to lower the vcore as much as possible... No-power config, yes please Quote
