hokiealumnus Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 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 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokiealumnus Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McZonk Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riska Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 This chip is only for watercooling it is no good for Ln2 to weak mhz on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jurek Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teurorist Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 maybe next step try to solder a ihs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eeky NoX Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin0822 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I do like your effort, good job! Basically what i thought. The difference is small, oh and i went to university. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeky NoX Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 what did they use? as solder? 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanok Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) 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 Edited May 29, 2012 by Nanok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
