delidded it, cleaned it, still have between a 40-42C idle temp on a custom loop.
used gelid GC extreme both between die and IHS and ontop of IHS.
if i start IBT it jumps a bit into the mid to high 80s. do not like it at all, used to mid 60C load temps on a 5ghz 2500k, ive clocked this to 5ghz to match yet no matter what i do, on 1.35v it runs extremely hot. any ideas on how to fix it?
It's heat transfer is just so much higher than a more traditional paste
The thing is, between IHS and DIE there's the ever so small gap
Now normal paste is designed to fill out microscopic imperfections left from manufacturing
Not actually bridge a gap
That's why LM is better, it's heat transfer is basically as good as the solder Intel used
Now LM on the IHS is not going to be a game changer as much
But could be used there to squeeze out another degree or
Just so you know
LM also reacts with copper and will harden out a bit will stain the copper (as it actually bonds with the copper a bit)
It's not a problem as long as it's all undisturbed
It's considered by many to be too much of a hassle on the IHS
Doesn't matter, that's still too hot for a de-lidded chip. I run AVX stress test to make sure my temperatures are in check. My 3770K + 6700K were both de-lidded and ran Prime95 with AVX at 65C and lower.
