No upgrades till Volta & 8th gen HEDT build...

[Vego]

i don't this way of myself

i know that i am simply addicted to change

 

[phill]

If I had access to it all, I'd probably do exactly the same Respect to you

damn customs, lost 4 days of fun...

 

[Vego]

I need your help choosing angled fittings.
General idea in my build is that less brands = better
That's why I'm conflicted, please help me chose between original Bitspower and Monsoons...
These will go only to connect CPU block and GPUs to the loop so room only for 4

Last pick before cutting it open

This time everything need to align perfectly

 

[Vego]

So, again, it is not clear Vego, did you put the lid back on or are you running bare die???

OK, so since my APEX has found a new owner I was asked to delid a CPU for him, 14c 7940X that before delid was not so hot, erm... I mean cold...

18'C I count as a win, especially I used normal regular paste instead of LM as working with a monoblock is a more permanent solution, not so easy to change LM as with a CPU block only

Since I was asked a few times how I do this - this is how:

 

[EarthDog]

Jesus...it takes a giant set of balls to delid a skylake x with a razer blade with all the crap on its pcb.

So anyway.... you put the ihs back on, or not? Im not watching a video when i can just get a yes or no answer...

Wow...

 

[Vego]

yes

i delided like 50+ different s2066 CPUs

balls look the same

 

[EarthDog]

Lucky balls.

This poster has to be binning and reselling directly from ingram.

explain?

I can't bring myself to dust off my PC once every 3 months and you're telling me you're reinstalling your custom loop every month ? Where do you get off ?

not month, week...

but this is last time this year

Sweet Jesus...

 

[Dia01]

yes

i delided like 50+ different s2066 CPUs

balls look the same

So, what was ur plan to resell the remaining CPU's which have been delided?

 

[EarthDog]

They guy said he was "returning" them... somehow...after he destoyed the warranty by delidding...

....and he also wouldnt confirm nor deny he works for silicon lottery (he doesnt). Dude is a real gem.

50+ CPU's delided in a vice as well, I wouldn't take the risk personally, though I don't have enough cash to even buy one!

To the OP, how are you going to return the CPU's with the warranty voided?.......

This is why I have a real issue with it. Now, it took me time to get to the point where I could just impulse buy a 4k monitor and not really have to think too hard about it and it's nice but, it doesn't mean I don't have to be mindful of my money. If I really wanted to build a new threadripper machine (which I kind of do,) I would be looking between 2-3k on the complete machine and I could do it right now, this very second if I wanted to. That's not a small amount of money and like the leap to the 3820, it costed a lot as well. It was something I worked on and planned to do. ...but when I see enough HEDT CPUs to be destroyed as you say which is equivalent to a cost higher than what I paid for my car brand new, I consider that stepping over a line. I feel like what you're seeing is someone with a ton of money and a hunger for praise for "the best." If someone is redoing loops every week or two, that means that doing this is their life, and it's quite the life. I feel like having more CPUs than the worth of my car brand new is showing off, then claiming to de-lid them all (essentially destroying them in my opinion,) is rubbing it in my face. Whether that was the intent or not is beside the point though. If he's legit, it means the problems in society that trouble me the most very well could be getting rubbed in my face and something about that really frustrates me. I'm not trying to go political but, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words and there are a lot of pictures in this thread.

WIth that said, I'm a post away from un-subbing because I'm not going to fuel this kind of behavior. I love awesome and creative builds. I have a lot of respect for the work, time, and effort but, there are things here that bother me. The best machines aren't the ones with the highest price tag and the best hardware.

I'm in the same boat money wise and always trying to find the best money/performance ratio, however I don't completely feel the same way towards the OP as it is his money and everyone has the the choice to do what they wish with their money and time. Stepping into the X299 platform for me has been quite an expense, I just couldn't imagine doing it with 50+ HEDT CPU's just to 'find the one', that is the only bothering part for me, mind boggling actually.

I'll be honest. To me its not so much that as it is.......

The effort to do so. First of all, I would have tested the quality of the BEFORE delidding any CPU. Once I found 'the one' or even a couple of top ones, I would have delided. I am certain I must be missing a good reason behind it or it really shows he has a lot more money than sense (actually there are a few things which already tell me that).

The move to a worse motherboard. Curious.

The shady practices of returning CPUs which the warranty was blown, and returning CPUs just to bin them. Shady. As. Hell. Its one thing if he were to sell them after, but, we saw "return" and a (futile) defense of that stance (which was deleted by staff).

Then the playing around about who he is...


I've had enough fun for one thread. I'm out.

Returning modified CPUs is just straight up return fraud. See it all the time with some of the buyers on eBay. Typically a simple police report would get people to stop but in the case of 50+ I would simply hire a lawyer if they were returned and sue. This sort of thing can cost small businesses thousands of dollars.

If the OP returned all those processors, the lost to the business(') would approach in the tens of thousands. If the business is big enough like Amazon, they have a fraud department. Something like this would trigger an alert to one of their fraud specialists.
But Amazon doesnt really check their returns that well so the OP might get away with it.
I'm a small business owner on ebay, the lose to me would be lost profits approaching 2-4 months of lost profit because of the lost warranty on those CPU's.

There is more to the OP's story, maybe he/she only returns some or maybe he/she resells them.

 

[Vego]

just disassembled both GPU blocks to clean them from aurora crap that left behind
and tested cards individually

one is much worse than the other so ill be buying some to check if I can find another good one... at 27th they should be on stock, few days later in my hands.

Also regarding CPUs...

Yes, I have delided 50+, different s2066 CPUs, since the day this platform was released... Not this build...

For this build I had 10 i9, I delided only 3 as 7 was doing 4,7 on v higher than 1,25v.
3 that left was making 4,7 at 1,239-250v
these 3 I delided to see how they clock and what temps can I get with each
from these 3 I already sold one
have 2 left

"7-not-delided" are returned and as far as I know 4 of them already found new home

One of 2 will end up in EVGA.
the other one will end up in project for MSI in newest Lian Li case

 

[Vego]

All right
long time no see
too long

I have been talking with EVGA about my Timespy CPU scores - https://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/2888044/spy/2875352#
Its lower than on APEX, also EVGA doesnt clock as good

so im comming back to RVIE as a compromise between APEX and FTW-K.
Also going for dual loop.
already ordered 2x https://www.highflow.nl/watercoolin...mputers-reservoir-mount-ethereal-dual-v3.html for perfect mount and another res and new pump

Not decided at this moment is what will go where.
There is 280mm with push/pull noiseblockers and 420mm with pull only.
Please share your opinions where should CPU and GPU go?

 

[EarthDog]

Lol...it socres lower? Do tell vego...

First link is same as the second.

I highly doubt the EVGA clocks much different...PEBKAC.

 

[Vego]

22% diference on CPU score is a bit much...
