Yeah, running without the IHS at all is probably a bad idea, considering the possibility of cracking the die and other issues that have been reported.

Ok fellas I have redone the cpu 10 times exactly lol! Don't worry I have used clear nail polish on this 4770k Haswells' IVRM's .

It has to be the gap between the dye and IHS.

When I put the lid on the liquid metal dye it is covering the underside of the lid with Liquid Metal. But still not great temperatures.

I will sand down the edges on the underside of the IHS lid, to shorten the gap.

yep.. :)

trog

ps.. as for the people who feel the need to re-glue the lid back on there really is no advantage and a possible disadvantage.. intel has to do it because the the cpu package would fall apart else.. he he..

when its all assembled on the spot in the machine there is no need to glue the lid back on..

Well I sanded down the lid, IHS underside edges to where my fingernail barely catches on the edges. It is still very bad temps worse than before delid hmm.

I am using a small amount of Liquid metal on cpu dye and under the lid, just enough to cover the cpu dye if I try to use any less liquid metal it wont cover the entire cpu dye.

Can you share a pic of the die and both sides of the lid?

It's sounding more like your heatsink isn't making contact. Yoe ARE using TIM between the IHS and the heatsink, right? ...have to ask.

Yes I am using MX-4 between the lid and waterblock heatsink.

Not sure who you're using for an image host, but I recommend Techpowerup.org, then you can copy the BBC code right to your post. Has never failed me in almost 10 years. :D

Isn't that stuff conductive? It looks like it's shorting a bunch of capacitors on the package...

Sorry long time getting back. It was the waterblock the arrow pointing in is where water should go out and the arrow pointing out is where water should go in lol. Besides that the waterblock is top notch really and was super polished and flat.


Also I ended up running it direct dye to waterblock and the temps are 20c+ cooler then ever before.
