Thermal paste applied on your GPU / CPU, survey!

Thanks, I just popped it with a razor, since getting a delid tool for a CPU which costs about the same as the tool felt kinda stupid...

razor method its maybe the most safe method.... about delid tools, guess they are worth for people that has several delids to complete

Delidded G3258

Wait, you can delid the G3258?! I need to get practice in before I do my 6700k.

 

[Arctucas]

Great, its curious that you didn't listed your chip as delidded on your specs!

<SNIP>

Meh, saw no reason to.

dont be silly, just watch some videos, grab a new and pretty sharpen razor, then enjoy, patience and extreme relaxation are needed!

always is great to share your full specs to the community!

You can delid every 115x CPU since Ivy Bridge since Intel stopped soldering them, Sandy Bridge was the last 115x CPU series with soldered IHS.

I had more fun doing the delid with a bench clamp, short 2x4, and rubber mallet myself. Last time I used a razor was on a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_...cessors#.22Venice.22_.28E3_.26_E6.2C_90_nm.29https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_...cessors#.22Venice.22_.28E3_.26_E6.2C_90_nm.29Venice Athlon 64 3400+.

I've got a 3D printed delid tool I picked up, but I think it's for Skylake only.
I can't remember, is it even worth delidding if you're only going to replace with "standard" thermal paste (MX-4 or whatever the cool kids are using these days)?

@peche my 3770k is running stock and no delid.

thats way too dangerous sir.... the razor method its pretty more safe.... unles you cut yourself...

how much they charge for that delid tool? i'll like to get one too,
its great to use liquid metal between CPU die and IHS, over IHS and block or cooler you can use Arctic MX or Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut!

@peche my 3770k is running stock and no delid.

@hertz9753 stock means also no OC sir? you dont have an idea how much i wish that proceesor, unlocked ivy,

I absolutely recommend having liquid metal between the die and IHS if you delid, I didn't see a big difference when I first used MX-4 when I delidded (didn't have liquid metal at hand), but with Liquid Ultra there was some differences.

100% true, liquid metal its the best TIM you could use for delid, also get collaboratory liquid ultra, which is easier to use!

I never felt the need to OC the 3770k. I also have a 2500k, 2600k and two 3570k's all in rigs

Oh, I already have some Coolab Liquid, I was just curious.

I've been using prolimatech PK-3 for a bit over a year now on the CPU and GPU of my laptop and also the CPU for my desktop as well and it does a good job. I noticed a good drop in temperatures and an increase in turbo boost sppeds on both the GPU and CPU

2600k is running? ill like to have an sandy or ivy unlocked!

Oh, I already have some Coolab Liquid, I was just curious.

do you also have a sharpen blade, cause its all you need for a great delid, and lots of patience, dont be afraid or silly, try delid now!

application method?

MX-4.

easy to apply, great results on gpus and cpus. have a huge tube of it.

That paste lasts forever, i have used mine on several computers, also on most delids i have done, i have a 20Grs tube, there is a 30Grs tube!

Spoiler: Sizes

peche , I think I was using the line method but I'm not 100% certain on that, I haven't done it in a while so I don't remember exactly. If it wasn't the line method then it was just a pea in the middle

thanks! great and for how long have been using it?
i have been using arctic mx4 since a year maybe, and its great, replaced forever arctic silver 5 on all my hardware, [sadly arctic silver 5 its pretty easy to find on local stores, and its one of the better rated TIM's over here! ]

You can buy Celeron 420s on ebay for about $3-5 that can be delidded for practice, I bought a couple and delidded them. Using a vice was substantially easier and gave a better result as opposed to using a razor.

Delidding only matters if you have a hot processor, doesn't make a difference for the few processors that have good TIM mount from Intel factory IMO. Probably most have a bad TIM mount, binned one I have now that I got from SimpleTECH is perfect 4.8 GHz chip with cool temps and low VID, no reason to delid it.

I delidded Ivy before and it will drop you 10-20*C depending on how bad your chip is to begin with.


Right now paste I have applied is
CPU: Shin Etsu X23 same paste for 2 years, line method.
VGA: Prolimatech PK3 for past 2 weeks, needs repaste if I move card too much because cooler is slightly loose. Spread method (finger in plastic bag).

Also the thing its not about how bad its your chip... its about how wrong was the original TIM applied... to start with.. that mostly the reason #1 of delid, because of temps that are related to a crappy Tim applied to your Processor on the factory, and you are right, delid its a promise on hot chips like intel i7's or unlocked i7's that could be o are meant to be overclocked, there is people that delids i3's and i5s,

havent heard from hin Etsu X23, how is it?
Prolimatech PK3 its something pretty used here! thanks for sharing!

The PK-3 I have applied is about a year old, I'm going to have to replace it soon when I clean out the cooler on my laptop (as it requires undoing both heatsinks )

great, thats a interesting task to be done, i have to replace some computer's Tim @ the office these days... will use Coolermaster Icefusion which is the one the department gets for cheap on the local dealer, also its a great paste, for my personal computer @ office ill use Arctic MX4

Artic Sliver till MX4 came out. After that never had a reason to switch.

i love arctic clean...
