It wasn't too difficult. I was more scared of bending those tiny assed pins in the motherboard socket while removing/installing because they look so fragile compared to AMD CPU pins which I have bent plenty ooops.

I know that it's not difficult and i am not scare at all, i have done it at least 15 times, as i have said in one of my posts, it's a hobby for me

, how long did you need?

Probably less than 5 minutes.

You went bare die?!!! What were the temps before in this same testing? Do tell!!

I did a test 2 days ago before i delided the CPU with room temp 10c

Results

Room temp today 22c and CPU delided

EarthDog said:

Nope, i would never do that.

I forgot to say that 2 days ago when i did the test it was a 4.9GHz with 1.28V and now is at 5.0GHz with 1.36V in full load otherwise when playing games 1.344V

Cool.. seems better!

But since your information is using different speeds, voltage and ambient temps, it's incredibly tough to see the actual temp drop from your efforts.

I'm considering to delid my i7 7700k
What liquid metal would you suggest I use (what are some of the best?) for contact between die and ihs and for the paste between the ihs and water block, is as5 good enough or should I buy Gelid extreme?

Stock.

CLU arrived this week and today I had a chance to apply it and perform testing. Here's the results:

Ambient: 18.3C
(+/- from stock)
Idle: 25C (-3C)
AIDA64: 45C (-7C)
3DMark 11 Physics: 58C (-17C)
Cinebench R15: 66C (-17C)
Kombustor: 72C (-11C)

I got the stuff for $9.75 from Sidewinder Computers via Amazon. There was barely any in the tube. Just enough to get a very thin layer on the CPU die and a very small blob between the spreader and sink. The temperatures certainly look good, but I have mixed thoughts on this whole ordeal at the moment.

You can see the stock TIM and MX-2 results in post #194 and #197 of this thread.

proud delidder? great, so you got a notable temps drop, happy?
im glad you did it and nothing odd happened there!

CLU= Collaboratory Ultra, right?

The weird thing is that he said: there was barely in the tube Just enough to get a
very thin layer on the the CPU die and a
very small blob between the spreader and sink.

Normally there is enough CLU in the Tube.

Weird :cool:

Imo there's enough to spread on one cpu/ihs underside with just the CLU I find stuck to the outside of the syringe or inside the cap on a new tube w/o having to squeeze any out. I might be a lil too frugal lol.

Maybe it was used. It was suspiciously cheap

noticed that odd situation wrote down there...
didn't get the point, i have done 12 delids with the half tube you sent me back like 2 years ago, still have a little for another 2 delids i guess...

That said, if you delid one CPU per year you're OK for the next 24 years :roll:
