coolab pro is little bit easier to apply as far i have heard, ill like to try Thermal Grizzly liquid metal to see how it performs...

pro is almost impossible to remove, ultra can be removed. being direct on an IHS i didnt want to ruin the chip if i did it wrong.

forgot about that fact...
also what do you think about pasting back your delidded chip? coollab ultra would not glue it back ...

regular paste runs out over time - vibration slowly makes it come loose. reports from people who did it years ago say the coolab ultra is the perfect midground and still works to this day, so you re-paste the IHS back on with it. about 30C drop from stock temps for me.

agreed but im talking about glue or paste back the IHS to the processor's PCB
las time i took out my cooler and was cleaning all the hardware, took it out and the PCB stood at CPU socket and IHs in my hands... what a creepy situation ...i forgot 100% about my delid...

superglue in the corners should do it, i havent bothered with mine. the IHS cant come off with the heatsink due to the retention clasp, so the worst case is the IHS coming off in my hands when removing the CPU - which is not very likely (it didnt do that with MX4 in it, so it shouldnt with CLU)

i do use AC MX4 too, but everytime i took cooler out i usually repaste, since the 20G tube i have could last forever!!
i'll check for more information about it, how to glue it back and the best product, im not a fan of superglue, i rather something like Arctic Alumina™ Thermal Adhesive, but ill do the research ...

Mussels · Jul 6, 2016

the major problem with MX2/MX4 was that vibration from the cooler/waterblock was slowly causing the paste to run out. people were seeing awesome temps for at least 2 weeks, then they just started to climb...

Y'all tempting me to delid and get a delid bracket for my 4790k.

dunno about the 4k's, but the 3k series (ivy) were friggin terrible without it

Mine needs about 1.35-1.375v for 4.8ghz and that gets the temps too damn high.

Mussels · Jul 6, 2016

mine just runs too damn high

i wish i had a 2600k instead of a 2500k, apart from the lower ram speeds it'd be the better chip. these new ones just run too hot, even at lower wattages.

that's an interesting fact, new for me, gotta tell that the temps achieved with the Arctic cooling tims are the best i have gotten on TIM's, also i re-pasted my work rig with this product, temps dropped like 15 C and also the difference in temps over 3 weeks has been like 1C up or a 2 C down, since the computer is not off never, works like a slave!

i7 2700K its pretty nice soldier, i have seen some of them pretty cheap on ebay, also i5 3570K

Is a delid bracket worth it?

NO... just follow provided videos, use IHS like everyone else, delid is fun enough!

Retired my old 3770k, was a great chip but the gtx1080 was a bit much for it to deal with. Sooo went with some x99 goodness:

Asrock x99 taichi
intel core i7 6800K @ 4ghz
4x 4gb Corsair Vengace lpx ddr4 2666 cl15
Corsair H110i GTX
Gigabyte gtx1080 g1 gaming
Asus xonar dsx
Seasonic m12evo II 750w
256gb corsair force lx
1tb wd hdd
Corsair obsidian 450D

Already did it, was fast, and easy. Using CooLaboratory liquid metal for the TIM between the bare die, and heatspreader. Did it 6 months ago.
