[Ivy-Bridge] IHS removal extreme Test

[hokiealumnus]

In the interest of saving an order for TIM, does anyone know how Arctic MX-2 would behave cold? It spreads great into a very thin layer.

 

The only other TIM I have on-hand (and use for sub-zero) is Ceramique 2. Something tells me that would be about as good as the stock Intel TIM between the die & IHS.

[der8auer]

I think every TIM is better than the intel stock one. The quality is so bad it's already completely dry now after few months Ivy is out.

 

If you can choose between MX2 and Ceramique 2 - pick the first one.

[hokiealumnus]

Yep, I've got both on-hand. I might just try to delid after I finish a couple reviews. Wouldn't want to kill the chip in the mean time.

Liquid metal is no-go for subzero, when directly in contact with the die. Between metalls, down to -100 it is superior, but then stiffens up en give terrible results.

I also thought that. So GELID Extreme should be good enough.

You should have quite different thermal expansion coefficients on the liquid metal paste and the silicon. Dropping temperatures stiffens the LM-TIM and the different thermal expansion does the rest and leads to failure in the connection (mikro delamination) - On the other hand it is the best way for the 24/7-overclocker to engage better temps, sure... So for Sub0 the long-established GELID should also do a good job on both sides of the IHS.

This chip is only for watercooling it is no good for Ln2 to weak mhz on it

[jurek]

kelvin? u mean celsius surely (btw it doesn't matter:p)

 

core0 is cooler... surely for turbo boost purposes u choose the best efficient core in terms of temperature and let it be turbo boost core

maybe next step try to solder a ihs

[Eeky NoX]

maybe next step try to solder a ihs

Ooooooooooh! Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

 

I saw a scalped Phenom last week-end : bad efficiency after that

 

It seems to be easy to remove IHS on those IB (luckyly)

I do like your effort, good job! Basically what i thought. The difference is small, oh and i went to university.

what did they use? as solder?

[Leeghoofd]

you are mad enough to give it a try

[Eeky NoX]

No, no. No one tried to solder it but to remove IHS. I saw that CPU with part of its die stuck on the internal face of IHS, that's all

[Vinster]

Interesting results.

 

Vin

[Nanok]

Would Indium have the same "weakness" as Coollaboratory Liquid PRO ?

[Splave]

going to test my 6.527ghz 3770k on ln2 today with gelid between ihs and die...will report back

[thebanik]

going to test my 6.527ghz 3770k on ln2 today with gelid between ihs and die...will report back

 

on which board allen??? Asus or MSI???

[Splave]

gene-z

[Calathea]

I look forward to it. I'll probably do that too if you see some gains.

[DOM.]

im almost ready was going to go for 3D but think i should try 2D see if i get any gains

[Massman]

Just bought that 6700 chip. Now I can try too

[Splave]

lol risky business massman! what if it turns to a 6.6ghz with -145c cb?

[Massman]

I'm so lucky. Buy one cpu and it does 6700!

 

LOL!

[TaPaKaH]

I'm so lucky. Buy one cpu and it does 6700!

 

LOL!

I bought 0 and mine does more

[Massman]

Tsk. You warehouse overclocker!

[Nanok]

Zozolio and Rosty from octeamdenmark lost more than 200mhz

Chip was 6400 Spi 32M stabel

now ist a struggle to run spi 1M at 6.2Ghz.

no cb or cbb, Higher temp did not help.

We tryèd Titan nano and mx-2 with same result
