Rads flow and cooling

[freeboy]

Wow dude, I didn't say it was better you should re read what I actually said...
I said, please quote source..l I'm not shilling for tx-4

Ok
Here is one quote:"
Of the seventeen thermal pastes in this roundup, Tuniq’s TX-4 scored the highest. Its burn temperature was 3C cooler than Arctic Silver 5’s. Eleven pastes earn our Geek Tested & Approved badge: Tuniq TX-4 and TX-2, Shin-Etsu MicroSI X23-7783D, Prolimatek PK-1, Arctic Cooling MX-4 and MX-2, Noctual NT-H1, Xigmatek PTI-G4512, ZeroTherm ZT-100, Cooler Master ThermalFusion 400, and good old Arctic Silver 5. We’d give pride of place to Tuniq’s TX-2, Arctic Cooling’s MX-2, and Prolimatech’s PK-1, because they’re slightly cheaper than some of the other premiere thermal interface materials."from

CLU FTW No it doesn't cure the IHS down eventually. You have to place your chip in the socket, apply CLU, Gently lay the IHS down on the chip and clamp. I would place the IHS a bit higher then you would normally see it because when you apply the pressure from the clamp it will pull the IHS forward some. That way when you clamp it will end up ideally in the norm location.

I wish I read this before I did mine, sliding all over as I did Tim on chip then put on board.
I was able with delidded to stable 5.0, testing 5.1 but interrupted as my a basement flooded!
So tx-4 seems to work, my temps look good de lidded... Thanks all.

What kind of a temperature drop did you get with delidding?

Up to 21c with average somewhere in high teens, ill look for notes
Huge changes, between that and new block, and loop changes it's a big difference.
OK.
As of this morning I retested, Im also about 1-2 c ambient higher temp, so thats not helping

Prior to delidding and loop change
4.8GHZ 2133 mem speed almost 1.4 vcore
80 81 81 71after loop change and delidding
57 59 62 57
Now thats a rad with no fans running change in the loop, actually less fans so one 360 rad and two fans, one broke oops
But delided only testing at about 4 C higher on Saturday from same loops pump just the de lid at 5.0GHZ 1333mem was between 12 and 18 C still a good amount of change... on a chip I thought was pretty good for the temps..
