[Ivy-Bridge] IHS removal extreme Test

[tosunermc]

i have removed ihs of 6640 mhz superpi 1m 3770k

gelid gc2 6420 mhz superpi 1m

Noctua 6350 mhz super pi 1m

Silicon greease 6300 mhz superpi 1m

Finally i found thermal paste cpu is dead 00 post code best is intel's tim:confused:

 

Karandiru also tried 6740 mhz 1m cpu ihs removal

Gelid gc 6600 mhZ

mx3 6650 mhz

artic silver 6580 mhz

his cpu i still running

[DOM.]

i would say dont do this, i also lost my 6.5 4c cpu

 

doesnt like much over 6ghz now

Does someone know where we can purchase this marvellous Intel's dry TIM?

 

I found an idea: remove it from another chip and put it back on the first... no?

i only got one chip and re did the tim notice there was some small scuff on the die :banana:

If guys are taking great CPUs and changing the TIM..... and getting worse MHz, it makes me think of the fable of "The Golden Goose"

"The Dog and the Bone"

Sorry Dom. I was joking.

 

But I have 2 CPUs to my side: the best (atmo) is untouched and the other was so hot I had to test that.

 

It's a high bclk one, so I'll see what happen next friday...

 

@K404: frustrating conclusions for good chips!

Couldn't it be it's making bad contact now?

[MaJ0r]

Interesting things here ) Maybe who changed TP used bad glue/fat layer glue?

[I.nfraR.ed]

Guys who glued back the ihs, did you left a small part not glued or you placed glue on the whole outer surface of the ihs? I can't explain it right, but look at the photos with removed ihs.

The stock glue don't go all the way, but have one small "hole" for pressure equalization and gas escape.

And like other said - did you apply correct pressure before the glue went stiff?

Someone tried Arctic Ceramique? I don't think MX-2/3/4 are good for subzero, they use to freeze easily, while Ceramique is rated for -150.

We removed the HS of your 6700 1M CPU yesterday and with Gelid so far I wasn't able to manage the same clocks as before :-/

 

Now 6400 is max. I have Nvidia's stock TIM here, maybe this will help.

 

But at all I can't recommend the IHS removal!

[Splave]

can we get a disclaimer in big red print in the first post that this sucks for ln2?

 

6.527ghz 1m chip is failing to pass at 6.325ghz lol everyone is ruining great chips and wasting $350ish!

[I.nfraR.ed]

So, after all...only der8auer got an increase?

[Calathea]

From reading results in this thread:

 

Success

Der8auer 6293 --> 6385 MHz wp1024 chip dead on air, connection?

 

Fail

Rosty/Zozolio 6400 --> 6200 MHz Spi 32M

tosunermc 6640 --> 6420 MHz Spi 1M

Karandiru 6740 --> 6600 MHz Spi 1M

BenchBRos 6700 --> 6400 MHz Spi 1M

Splave 6527 --> 6325 MHz Spi 1M

DOM. no increase, possibly damaged chip when removing IHS

 

I think I'll pass

[der8auer]

Actually this is pretty weired.

 

What kind of glue did you guys use? And how did you glue the IHS back on?

[DOM.]

i used no glue just held it when clamping the socket closed

 

should find out today is the glue helps it clock back up there, i hope it does... crosses fingers... lol

[BenchBros]

We also did not glue the HS back... just want to test the contact of the thermal compound.

 

We will make some further tests soon.... but at moment it looks like a safe way to degrade the golden CPUs

 

Any other suggestions for this problem?

glue didnt help me

[Mean Machine]

glue didnt help me

 

Me neither. Wait, was this thread about CPUs? Oh...

[T0lsty]

t0lsty 6400 -->> 6200 MHz spi 1m

[bob80]

What about phase change cooling ?

[Eeky NoX]

EeKy 6350 ---> 0mhz no Pi

 

Exploded one core cus bad contacts die/IHS - IHS/Evaporator... now I have to deal with CN's friend Mr Smits !!! :fear:

Hey guys,

Anyone of you tried the Noctua NT-H1 under LN2 (ihs not removed)?

I tried it now and had the worst experience, but not sure if the TIM or some other factor.

Don't know if I'll have enough LN2 for a second test, so I'm asking here.

 

If it's bad, then I'll save the rest of LN2 for something else.

[tiborrr]

I just learned the hard way not to remove the IHS for benching anything lower than ~ -100°C It's great for air, water and single-stage cooling, hell even cascade cooling gains noticeably! But LN2...
