I just got done moving and figured, while everything was taken apart, why not break open my i7-3770K and apply a little squirt of Arctic Silver 5 to the little guy. Keep in mind, I am not experienced, nor is anyone I know. So with that being said, I looked up as much info as I could and gave it a try. It was easier than I thought to de-lid the proc, but cleaning the black glue was a bit of a pain. Then I thought, well since I have HS off, why not lap it. I know, I know. You’re an idiot. But I really wanted to try it, and its mine. So let’s move on. It’s a work in progress, and I’m doing it in stages, all at once. LOL. So far, this is what I got. I suppose I’ll find out how bad I f’d this sucker up when I get it back in. But I thought either this would be a good chance to show it’s not as hard as it sounds….or a “what NOT to do” guide for anyone who is considering any of the above. This will not be scientific in any way. I will not be trying to go and have the fastest proc ever. It was just plain old curiosity. Enjoy.
P.S. This is my first thread ever, so if its all wonkey, oh well.
