Fixing Skylake, Haswell, and Ivy Bridge CPU temps: IHS removal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2012
- UPDATE 09/01/2015: Skylake CPUs are available now, and it looks like Intel did not change the manufacturing process of the thermal paste. Skylake still uses paste instead of solder between the IHS and die.
UPDATE 06/02/13: Haswell just launched, and this method still applies. The CPU in the video is an Ivy Bridge, but the delidding of Haswell still applies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro and background: With this generation of Intel processors, Intel decided to cut corners and use very cheap TIM (thermal interface material) between the bare CPU die and the top IHS (integrated heat spreader). Cheap TIM does not transfer heat away from the die well, that's why Ivy Bridge processor heat up very fast, especially when overclocking. With Sandy Bridge and earlier CPU's, Intel used fluxless soldering between the CPU die and the IHS, so they do not have this problem.
By taking the IHS off of Ivy Bridge processors to apply a better TIM, you can get a significant reduction in temperatures without needing additional cooling hardware. As a result from this simple mod, you may get a higher max overclock, more stable results, or reduction in fan noise for a quieter computer.
Do not try this with Sandy Bridge or earlier processor generations since they are soldered on, and much harder to remove the IHS.

i7-4790k
i5-4690k
i7-4770k
i5-4670k

What the fuck is wrong with Intel? How could they fuck up such simple things?
rapper250
They designed it this way on purpose. I have no idea why they used this TIM, but it does make me wonder if they do it on purpose.
+NOMADSPY After 5 years I'd be wanting a new CPU anyways just to keep up with the modern speeds. I like playing my games =p
+rapper250 I think because there is no competition and because it is cheaper
iNonentity More then likely it was just a bad batch of paste as it is just a few specific chips that suffer from this problem.
Intel can control the quality of the chips themselves.. But they don't control the quality of the paste delivered to them in bulk.
iNonentity They do check the chips themselves, though it's not like they give them the massive run through we eventually do, plus it could be inconsistencies in the paste itself thus why some people never have this issue yet others do.
I don't understand the critics here. The guy is showing us that if you're careful, you CAN remove the heat spreader and NOT hurt the processor. Furthermore, he's PROVING that Intel is putting poor TIM on their processors. The shit that Intel puts on the chip runs hotter than the stuff he used on the coolest running cores! He got a 5 degree drop in temps on those coolest cores, not to mention fixing the disparity of the stock temps. Now all the cores are running the same 5 degrees cooler than Intel is giving us. This kid should be getting a medal from us, not criticism.
RMA? Since he proved to us Intel has a quality control problem, AND that they're using cheap-ass TIM, why would you roll the dice with another processor and maybe wind up with something worse? If you CAN do this, why wouldn't you, especially since you'll wind up with something better than the best quality processor that Intel can give you?
You guys criticizing him must be Intel worshipers, not just fan boys. He's offended you by showing you your god is flawed.
ladamyre1 encore! encore! well said, sir. I wish I could have just paid an extra $5 or $10 bucks for my CPU so Intel could have just used quality thermal paste to freaking begin with.
I've been messing around with computers since the mid 90's and I have to say - it was i real pleasure to watch your video. Very educational and simple. I can't remember the last time I made it through a 20 min "tutorial" on UA-cam. Just wanted to say, from a guy who did the very same thing [mod] with/to his old Northwoods, kudos to you :-)
Did you have a lot of gains in temps ?
I’ve come from the future to tell you that you did a great job for the time. Imo the vice method was better, and your cleaning metrology could have been improved, but overall damned impressive. Well done sir.
Sure ! And for this "budget" I'd say it's impressive. Just needed some basic things everybody can find in his house. Very well done =)
I have try to open my cpu with the razor but I failed. I stopped after trying during one hour and having used three blades.
The funny thing is that now, the highest temp I get at full load is 10 ° less than before (62°), is it due to little air injection inside the cpu?
My processor is i3-4330
You should have put the heat spreader back on properly, you use RTV sealant, which is silicon and is what Intel used to begin with. It can handle temps far greater than any cpu will create. In fact, if anyone is reading this, make sure you wash your hands before doing this, don't touch the pins or pad on your cpu, make sure you are grounded, use a new razor blade for removing the cpu heat spreader, completely clean both surfaces with 99% alcohol, remove the old silicon sealant, replace with rtv sealant (it's typically black) and use a quality thermal compound, preferably not crap mx-2, nowadays there is better out there. Once you get it all ready to go, apply the rtv then set something heavy on top of it (like a book or clothing iron) and let the rtv cure for about 6 hours, the longer the better. Just make sure whatever you set the cpu on is extremely clean. a sheet of glass would be best.
Or just not use a heatspreader, they never used em for early socket p3's and athlon/durons and we never had problems mounting directly to the die back then (well some people were dummies and damagaged/chipped the die) - or mobile processors for that matter. just make sure the hs is mounted flat and touque it up evenly and in steps.
very well done! your patience and skill was pleasant to watch I have the same chip,cooler and MB and will try it myself as I also have large discrepancies in my core temps
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm using an i7-4770K and I've noticed that there is an 8 degree difference at load between core 0 and core 3.
Last time I used a utility knife to delid a processor, it slipped and I sliced right through the tip of my finger.
Will never do that again.
yeah, was just about to write " good way to eff up your CPU and slice the shit out of a tendon at the same time".
man did you need some alcohol solution..
***** The heck? Where did that come from? all he said was he needed some Isypropyl alcohol. It would have helped if he had some on hand. I'm sure the guy posting the vid knew that too. Sheesh.
Molex I 100% agree. Even pro's risk cpu damage when performing a "delid". H100i by Corsair all day!
So magical Oh no he isen't using a microfiber clothe you gonna cry about that too?
Scotious Nevious no, but im gona cry about those extra e's in your comment
I don't even remember this sorry man.
your thermal paste collection impresses me
so if you have an older cpu should you remove the stock plate by intel and add new paste their? Each core on my old core 2 quad is reading different temps which is concerning. They max at around 60c.
I can see myself shredding my fingers with that razor lol. But amazing results lol!
Is it better to remove the old paste with rubbing alc or just like you did with a tissue?
its better to use alcohall its wven better not not take a razor to it and let it chill at such high temps
+Anthony Najera also use coffee filters
Amazing.
I was sure that processor was doomed. Seeing the pcb bend under pressured cutting, undue stress for sure. However, the procedure you used did the trick. Getting the temps down 30~40 degrees on the hot cores was an amazing result.
Hi I have done as u have and my temp dropped 20 deg . Thank you so much for ur video. I used some sikaflex to stick it back and now it's perfect Wayne
Excellent video! Why companies continue to cheap out on these high end processors is beyond me.
nice! just FYI for those who want to delid their 4770k, please do it very very slowly, take your time. I attempted to do this last night, i was really careful all the way until the end. I got impatient and used more force than I was supposed to and cracked the CPU Die. Needless to say I had to dish out $300 to buy another CPU -_- Hopefully you guys can avoid this mistake by learning it from my stupidity. cheers :)
i dont know what i like better, the results or the excel spreadsheet.. great job on both!
Perfect explanation! Thanks for this great lesson...
You got mad balls dood!!! Excellent +1
The new method is the vice method. Clamp the IHS into a vice, and firmly hit the PCB with a hammer. It'll just pop off.. I greatly recommend the clamp method over the razor method, I have done it to multiple CPUs without any problems
Fuck me, I thought you were joking...
***** hehe
What type of lock do you use to hit pcb with
DjGalm We never heard of him since...
Ranstead Moons LOL
hey i got an older q6700 and it just runs hot as hell would this be a good option? i also got a new 5930k gaming build but that q6700 is my media pc now
Would it matter at all if the top part of the pcb say way off to the side would get a micro scratch or 2, like the part that isnt covered by the cpu lid?
26 to 27c. jesus i get hot at 23.
+thefilmdirector1 I get hot at 36c, I live in a very warm place :c
+angel chingon my cpy stays att 34c but ones i kind of fucked upp and presses the OC button (overclock) and im useing the stock cooler on my procesor thats known for being hot aka AMD
+swedish gaming I don't think is a good idea to overclock with the stock cooler
+thefilmdirector1 it's always here 16 - 18 deg C
+Mark Schulz IV 30~40 in Brazil, Suck it
Don't do this with a 5960X and possibly the K I7 as well. The IHS is soldered on and you will destroy your cpu trying this.
Cody Brown
I was talking about the 5930k. Just to update my post, both the 5930K and 5820k are soldered as well (each of the I7 processors).
Cody Brown you also wouldn't want to try this with amd processes if they were Tim and not soldered as the pins are on the cpu
+Laughing Man Productions² extreme series and xeons are not affected by this, only the consumer level chips, so 4829,4930,4960,5820,5930, and 5960x are all soldered
+Axel Shark I was planning on doind this to my 4690K, just because i do overclock :D!! But i think i dont need it at all just because mine is running at 4.7Ghz/1.295v 53c when playing games and 63c on stress :)
really i could not belive when i saw the results.. very very nice experiment indeed.. very good work..
Is mx-2 good choice for this, Does it degrade over time or the temperatures are the same as first day? Thanks!
I was clenching my teeth through the entire video.
You know what I have never had to do on any of my AMD computers? Rip the heatspreader off, replace it with my own paste, and then fiddle with it on the board.
Now I have crushed the heck out of some AMD Athlon XP CPU's in my day...
Hmm... interesting. I noticed a large improvement with delidding my Opteron 64 X2 back in the day... and Never, ever, crushed an A XP, A MP, Duron, or Pentium 3 in the process of mounting a cooler... (all open die CPUs)
That's not something you'd do with an Intel CPU either. As he said his one was defect and what you normally do in this case is put it back in its box and ship it right back to the reseller. No need to do any mods like that on any CPU manufacturer. He's just an enthusiast.
What's the best tim to use if I don't plan on using sealant? Is liquid stuff ok? Thinking of getting a cryorig h7 and it comes with cryopaste, is that good enough? I have a 4770k. Thanks.
I still have my beast of a CPU, 10 years later. It's a Core i7 3770K that ran 10 years OCed to 4,2~4,3 GHz without any trouble. I never got past 75~80°C even with intensive loads. And this last month, I had overheating issues, where I reached almost easily 85~90°C in any task, even after reverting back to full stock frequencies/voltages. Meanwhile, I touch my cooler (Noctua NH-D15) to check the temps and it never gets really hot. I'd say it's just about 30~40°C, while the CPU is clearly boiling. I've changed my thermal paste with some good fresh recently bought Thermal Grizzly, re-done it a few times (in case I screwed up application), but still the same overheating issues.
Your video is gonna help me a lot, cause I don't see any other cause right now than the internal thermal paste for the problem that I have. I'll try to delid it. I hope it will solve this ^^. Thanks a lot.
i wont want to risk my processor on this
That's a great decision you made. The lack of confidence has no place here.
how many people broke therecpu by trying this lmao
***** how is it useless? freedom of speech and yes it is a true statement. I bet there are loads of people who has done his and broke there cpu.
Mark Park My CPU works fine. I removed the IHS today.
Mark Park yeah... my friend broke i7-4790k
Mark Park He just broke his processor, or atleas greatly reduced the lifespan of it, the oils from his hands are going to corrode all the resistors he just smeared.
Mark Park I argree with you. I whould send it to intel and say "fix mah shit!"
Good description, it really helps a lot. Thanks.
Why reattach the heatspreader, once ou have taken it off? Wouldn't it me wiser to place the cooler directly on the die? Is there any good reason, why the heat-spreader would have to be there? (except for protecting the die itself from mechanical damage, due to wrong placement of the CPU-Cooler)
"And by the way, I never did this before.." LOL
DAMN ON ME !!! all that years I thought all (metal cover + CPU) is one peace , contain all complicated stuff *_* , thank you tooooooo much
next I will just open my CPU to play with :D
Hi.
For my new i7-4790K which past do you recommend ? Does the Artic MX4 got enough thermal resistance ?
I was delidding my 4790K because there was a huge inconsistency between the temps of the different cores. I nicked the chip on top if the ICs are on the left, but I assembled everything and everything seems to work. I've been using the system for over a month now. What is disabled in my CPU? All the data buses that I currently use work just fine. I am however, hesitant to buy new parts as I don't know what will and won't work.
So essentially you bought a CPU. Turns out it was defective. Rather than RMAing it, and getting it replaced, you go ahead and void teh warranty... Nice job!
What part of Intel using shitty thermal paste makes it defective? They're all like that so RMA'ing would be totally pointless. *facepalm* It's just intentionally bad design choices, aka cost cutting/customer gouging.
Chris Fetters it's got a way higher temp than the normal for this processor
why do you even need the heatspreader? Why not just put the cooler on directly?
My theory is that the die is very fragile, and the copper heatspreader reduces actual pressure by distributing the load on the PCB instead of the die when tightening on a heatsink, and it does what its name implies... Spreads the heat evenly to take away heat from the center before transferring it over to the heatsink.
Ah okey. So you think the pressure from the cooler directly attached to the die actually could wreck your cpu?! When it comes to cooling performance you would probably be better of without the heatspreader anyway. The heat would spread even better with the heatsink directly attached to the die I think.
I remember the Athlon XP CPUs used to chip and crack like glass at the edges if you were removing a really tight-sprung heatsink and put pressure on the corners.
You dont have to, a lot of people dont. Also make sure you use liquid metal vs paste...youll get more like 15-20 degree drops.
WhiteFireDragon what would you suggest would be the best Thermal paste for in-between the processor heat sink and the little chip inside ,as well as recommendations for between the cooling unit and the heat sink? i'm looking at doing a couple projects of my own,planning to possibly break a world record one day hahah maybe ,but i'm looking for high quality paste for a very intuitive thermal build .
I have cooler master thermal paste and Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste, which would be better if I were to do this?
All these armchair experts makin me laff. His chip was well within intel spec @ stock clocks + stock voltages. RMA'ing that chip for higher-than-expected temps in synthetic applications with a mild overclock would result in his chip being sent straight back to him. His options were a) put up with it, b) take out the intel overclocking warranty then fry his chip, c) delid it. He made the right choice imo
And exactly this is why i went with a Proper CPU.. not this iGPU crap and poor Thermal Paste CPU's. Intel's i7 Extreme CPU's are soldered and therefore don't need to be opened like these..
+Kitty Cat yes lets spend a grand on a cpu ;/
5820k ftw
+Thomas Elmore No need to spend a Grand on a CPU.. the 5930k + 5820k are less than a Grand.. but if you spend money on a CPU, then do it on a CPU that is soldered, and not this garbage
+Kitty Cat logical aproach most clever people have:
get the cheapest real value cpu.
overclock it to its stable 24/7 overclock with good custom cooler, be done!
the fact that intel didn't even use proper heat paste hell even a relativly good one would have been miles better than the crap they put there tells u that they dont give a fuck about customers and cut wherever they can.
literally all he did in the video was change the heatpaste for what ,5 euros? of paste and it works as it should.
idk i just dont get it.
and i dont get why u think people should spent more money on chips that have a thermal transfer as it should be for everyone of the chips.
bluej511 Proper CPU's like the X or Enthusiast K series are already soldered.. DUH. Yeah let's buy a consumer crap chip with shitty Thermal Paste and Garbage iGPU and then Void the Warranty by delidding it. And eventually destroy the CPU in that process. "easily solder the IHS or something like that".. sure. If you're dumb enough and want to get your CPU killed.. go ahead.
my xeon e3 1231 idles around 45 degree in 30 degree ambient and max out at 71 degree during aida64 stability test.. is that acceptable? i tried re-sitting my heat sink and re applied thermal paste (nt-h1) but still the same result
question, doesnt most of the good thermal paste(that requires a burn in) end up being hard?
omg you brave brave kid.
Do you not know how to use a syringe, bro?
Recently our old Dell XPS laptop had coffee spilled on it, so we took it apart and took out the RAM, cpu and other components. The cpu was a core i7 2630 and seemed like it had already been delidded. It has some thick silicone residue that I can’t seem to remove. Any tips?
Excellent video!! Very informative, thanks for sharing
this man is so awesome he can calculate the quality and price of thermal paste from its viscosity
Warranty voided as all hell
I don't think soo..

Take a look at the transcript.
IBIubbleTea
Thats awesome. Now I may actually consider doing this to my 3570k. Ive been having the same problem as is in the video, just not as extreme. But Core#0 is consistently 10-15C higher that the other 3.
TheDetroitSlayer Just be careful and not scratch anything.
very good and informative video! Thank you for this!
Hi. In my case the experience with MX-4 and Gelid Extreme did not work. Temperatures dropped 7 or 8ºC but after a week they rose above temps before delided (I made 4 or 5 attempts with total PC cleaning and paste change).
Coolaboratory Ultra lowered temperature 18 and has remained stable for a year. Do you have any idea of the cause of the apparent degradation of silicon TIM in my case?
Edit: Okay I think I might do it now but this way =Oo2aFZBBJF4 , it was way to fast and he used a freaking card board on the rest of the PCB like 97% of it on card holy! :D no risk of scratch!
This is really making me wanna go pull out my 4670k and replace the TIM..... At the same time kind of scary to razor blade it and scratch the green pcb lol. Been trying to OC to 4.4 but the heat is just way too much. Even in stock + turbo Boost it goes to like 75-83+ on P95 more on IBT with air cooling :x I wished I had a Vice.....! Whats really annoying is that Intel's asking price for the high end i5 or i7 are too much. The least they could do is put a high end TIM on it or just use Fluxless solder like the Sandy's had....
yea have the same thought.
my 4670 is running stock and the temps are bonkers, i have my gpu and cpu in the same liquid cooling loop cpu running stock and gpu 33% oc, the gpu tops out at 65 degree's the cpu hits 88 after 30 min of prime 95 and hits 60-70 degree's wile gaming(not to high but imo way to frickin high for stock on liquid). time to get naked mounting and delid this sucker... once i have enough saved up to buy another in case i bork the operation :P
anub1s15 its doable :) I did mine using the same way but it took me longer to get an insertion point using a thin hard razor not the bendy one's. After that inserted a plastic card board then pulled off the rest of the epoxy, no risk of scratching the pcb at all, just don't go to far inside where the Die is situated. But the key I think is Taking your time so no massive headache at the end xD For better results you can also go and direct mount your liquid water block (EK seem to sell fixings for direct mounting) or with heat sinks but beware there will be a risk of cracking Die if you over tighten screws or if you use a heavy tower heat sink. And I dont recommend the use of liquid team or stuff like IC Diamond as they kinda react to the Die and crack it. I saw 2 chips that died and crack and users applied IC Diamond TIM. You could still use them for really good performance like CLU from coollaboratory but use it at your own risk. Either than that it really kills alot of temps, specially using those liquid metal TIM's.
I cant believe this.
Are you seriously telling me Intel, one of the biggest IC manufacturers in the world spend millions on R&D and sell CPUs for 100's of £/$
And then cheap out on 3 cm of thermal paste?
Seriously? And this has a huge impact on CPU running Temps.
Sounds bonkers
If they didn't do this, how do they expect to sell the next version of CPU's? Imagine someone created and unbreakable tool that never dull, blunts or breaks. If ten people want this tool, he only sells 10. However, if he makes it slightly worse, he can sell it 10 times, over and over again. He might even slightly upgrade it each time to give them incentive to buy it again.
To keep the business running they purposely make theire products fail after a certain amount of time, 5-10 years max. With proper thermal compound or cpus would last 20-30 years, the fact that they would be completely outdated and couldn't run a latest wordpad is irrelevant. I'm not just talking about intel, a lot of companies do it, it's their policy ahahah lol.
Damn capitalism :(
SupremeGamingStyle
Companies like Intel don't "purposefully design their products to fail", they design them to have a maximum MTBF. There's no reason to have a MTBF of 20+ years for a product that may be irrelevant within 5.
Theo Lubbe That's capitalism for ya. I still have a computer from 2004 which runs fine, when intel and nvidia parts fried, changed them to amd, still runs to this day, some people even use pcs as old as 1999~, it's not about being irrelevant, it's about making a product that will last u so long, you'll buy a new one when it becomes obsolete to you, and not break down in 2-5 years which is what intel wants, to push their chips. AMD is trying to take the crown by making their cpu's last, cards are just as good as far as peoples reviews go.
If you remove the top shell of the processor and only the processor itself is left, con you mount it to a laptop since it looks exactly like a laptop CPU?
can i put cooler master ice fusion thermal paste on the IHS? i hit also almost 100c for using google chrome on core i7 6700k stock clock
Not wearing gloves to protect the gold on the bottom from the oil on your hands.
Using paper towel and no isopropyl alcohol is very very bad.
Using Improper tools to delid.
I haven't even gotten to the part where you put it back on yet.
Eh dont worry.. It's fine, paper towel is okay as long as you clear up any fibres... oil is minimal and will barely affect the cpu - if at all... Improper tools, while not being ideal, are the only thing you can do when you arent doing it professionally... electronics is surprisingly resilient to these things and the biggest killer of electronics is static electricity! So ground yourself and chances are 99.9% of the time you will not damage anything! ..
Ranstead Moons the oil on the contacts do a considerable amount of damage.

;-)
Christopher Snow What do you mean to do with coffee filters? Using them to clean stuff?
I've never heard of this problem before watching this video...O.o
Same here
Ignorance is bliss. 5yrs later and intel has finally fixed their issue. Also issue mainly affects overclocking chips, but not always my i7 4770 over heats playing ubisoft games.
Works perfectly, got my i5-4670k on the MSI Z87-G45 from 91°C to 51°C at 4100 GHz and default Voltage (after 1 hour stress test on Prime95). Very nice vid!
I've looked into my i5 3470 to see if it is an ivy bridge. I'm assuming it is, also, would EVGA's Thermal Grease (frostbite) work well with this?
I would never dare do that to my 4930k :o
Only the 4930K?
***** how about laptop chips? my macbook is using the crystalwell processor, and it really runs hot. as far as i know, the thermal paste applied to it is insanely wrong.. been thinking of removing it and apply new ones. how about the "inner" paste like in this vid?
ah ic, thx
Fix'd with Devil's Canyon, though.
***** It is, thermals are fixed. I have a 4690k.
poor keemstar;(
hell yea
Still running my old dinosaur of an i7... a Sandybridge 2600 and I just noticed today while I was checking something else that my CPU cores had all peaked at 98C while I had the monitoring software open. (about a 30 min period) The system had been under somewhat heavy load during that time. Wondering if my thermal paste is getting old and ineffective.
What is the black material intel uses? Can i use somthing else so i can make it solid again?
LOL, i have a 3770k that runs at 50ºC at 4,5 GHz i think u just had bad luck and voided the guaranty doind dat.
Me too, but I don't overclock it that much
Same here with my 4670K. In my case I just apply the thermal paste like a boss and use high quality fans in push/pull. Case airflow is also just as important. My CPU cooler is xigmatek dark knight 2, nothing super fancy. It works extremely well. [Cool story bro @myself]
High Voltage eV I use a corsair 800w font with two corsair coolers and a ThermalTake case with a lot of air flow, so here in Brazil, even being hot, it runs just perfect.
Really? What fans do you have, or watercooling?
I have a Noctua D14 :D
well... you must admit this guy got balls..
I like the focus on your camera :)
Thanks for the video, interesting. I have been wondering if anyone knows if a complete reflow job has ever been tried on this when refitting the heat spreader? It wouldn't seem like too much extra work to get say a .008" stencil to apply some solder paste and get the pcb and spreader sent back through a reflow oven and see what the difference in temperatures would be with a true solder joint. Also, do you know if it is possible to fit the PCB back in the socket and using an custom cooler, fit a heatsink directly to the die, i.e. leave off the heat spreader.
Remember kids, do NOT try this at home.
+Prototype868 xD
Why?
It's like a good ending horror movie
Wonder if the old core 2 quad CPUS use this method of cooling. I'm not taking mine apart though.
Good video Bro. I always get the runt of the litter when it comes to processors. Luckily my 3570k was a good one for once. 60 C @ 4.5 ghz. I just needed 1.120 volts. Intel burn test puts the temps up to around 70 C. Game play temps are all under 60 C. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Touching the pins with your fingers reduces their conductivity
i don't think that tose cpu's have pins , only old cpu's used them
TheOfficialKiro67 In Intel CPUs the pins are in the socket, but the other part of the pins is in the CPU. In AMD it's the opposite
oh sorry , i actually tough he was talking about pins on the CPU, i jsut saw a person on 9gag did this mistake (he tought that intel cpi's have pins) and i tought
he was also talking about pins on intel CPU, my bad
***** the ones in the cpu yes
yes it does, by increasing resistance by less than 50mOhm..... LOL pins in socket are sharp because of that reason
I tried to do what you did and accidentaly killed my dog. Instructions werent clear...
I cut off my dick ...
Does anyone know if the IHS for Haswell CPUs and Ivy Bridge CPUs are identical? I'm buying a 4670k that has a slightly damaged IHS, so I'm wondering where I can buy a spare IHS.
I have question, What if , run Prossessor without IHS, So The Cpu Cooller Directly To Cpu. Like Cpu on laptop.
Cut it in half: Congrats. You just made a Pentium! :D
(Sorry XD )
+MacAlister Livingston put amd in your intel socket and you get face melting stench.

The most interesting part of this video is how afraid he is
Shit I just did mine and I'm still scared as fuck lol it's a 350 dollar cpu and your chances to break it are very high. But the reward is lower Temps.
@Papaya Tasty being afraid to learn new things isn't a way to live life. You have to be willing to take risk at some point. I did mine and Temps dropped 5c I call that a win since I didn't use liquid metal.
I have to admit that I am amazed at some of the temps I see from Intel. I air cool my FX9590 and it hovers around 45c when in heavy use.
I must admit, the results are really nice and do make me want to try this one day. A lot of risk involved with doing something like this though. If you got a bad cpu though, it maybe well worth the risk. Nice vid
how did the cpu live through that xD
?
+Goofygiggles Simple, you litterally cut off a piece of metal, removed the old thermal paste and replaced it.
All that while being grounded.
arebokert Meh, didn't pay attention to that. :p
Oh god please stop touching the CPU contacts ;-;
+Shankovich it really, really doesnt matter lmao
+Shankovich
lmao
+BahBahTheSheep Actually it does. ESD is not a joke. It could severely impact the life span of the CPU.
did you just think about what you wrote?
+BahBahTheSheep I'm not sure what you're getting at? Can't you comprehend what I wrote?
Arctic Silver 5, MX-2, and MX-4 dried out really fast on all the ones I tried. Had to keep replacing it after a few days. They just don't seem to meant for that amount of heat. Liquid pro/ultra gave me about 10c lower than the other pastes and still works after several months.
with all my ranting i totally forgot to thank the person who made the video.
thanks man, it was a big help to see under the hood!!!!!!!!!
Think you could find a rustier razor blade? Personally, I like my jaw to lock up rock solid when I cut myself.
there is a reason why intel has dust free workspaces.
LMFAO you think cause this HS? XDDDD
never.
this is like putting on a CPU cooler.
those dust free workspaces are for all the other processes you have while building a cpu, but surely not for this thing xD
ok, you guys are right :D
nice job dude, have to do this with haswell :D
What would happen if you attach the heatsink directly to the cpu without that cap?
you are doing it wrong I saw guy at overclockers doing it within 5sec using hammer !!!
Wow, you used paper towels... That could leave fibres behind and mess things up.
Thanks! very enlightening....was worried you were going to slip with the razor blade.
This was so intense! When he was putting the IHS on the dye at 18:25 my heart almost exploded from the built-up tension! Oh my god, what intenseness
The whole time i was hoping, hed mess up and end up with a dead cpu, does that make me an evil person?
you REALLY need to know what your doing before you mod or tamper with ANY cpu
i asked my mum and she said it doesnt make you evil its just not a very nice thought
charles lee now u got me worried, coz moms can only be so harsh..lol
Khalid Hassan Shohag well my mum beats me if i don't fulfil gods commandments so i think your in the clear :)
There's a Devil, Deep inside you :P
Well everyone does. Even me.
ahh now keem cant do youtube for a week...
Hey guys i have my i7 3770K run around 57° normal and 75-80° in use without overcloking but with the basic intel fan. Is it normal or i need to change the IHS too or just the fan ?
Thanks
Get a better cooler and test it.
You're being limited by the stock cooler.
Is there a way to glue the IHS again?
