Bigchrome Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 Hi there! I've been out of the loop for a bit, and recently gotten back into dry ice/ln2 cooling. I'm noticing that I have a huge temperature delta between the base of my pot and the CPU cores, with the cores often hitting positive temps despite the pot being at -50c. Is this normal? I can't measure negative cpu temps so I have no way of really knowing if my chip isn't running all that cold - which is annoying. So, to my question, are people delidding these CPUs to change the stock paste when cooling with LN2/Dry ICE? If so, are you then reapplying the IHS, or just running on bare-die? Trying to get a handle on things here. Quote
Chilli-Man Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 Yes, from skylake onwards it's almost mandatory to delid when going cold. Definitely want to reuse the IHS (can leave floating) unless you've got a specially modified pot for bare die. 1 Quote
