So tomorrow, November 25th, I'll be deliding my 4690K via vise method. When OC'ed my 4690K gets way to hot at 4.3GHz and 1.150v. I'm talking about hitting 95c on full load through stress testing. Crazy temps for a modest OC.
I got everything in the mail today; a drill vise, some Thermal Grizzly liquid metal, some Arctic Cleaner and Purifier and razor blades. I've looked at several videos on YouTube on how to delid so I'm not nervous about the actual deliding process. I'm nervous about taking my 4690K out of my motherboard socket. When I installed my CPU years ago I lined up the CPU with the socket arrow and closed the clamp. Only when closing the clamp, the clamp made a crunching sound as it fixed the CPU into position. I have never taken the CPU out since installation and am afraid I bent some socket pins. Everything works fine so I know the CPU is okay but I'm very unsure about the socket.
So tomorrow I'll find out if I bricked my PC or not after taking the 4690K out of the motherboard socket and deliding it. Hopefully all will go well. If not I have to buy new CPU, motherboard and RAM. I'm prepared to fail and buy new stuff but I would prefer to keep my Z97 Rig as its served me well over these past years.
Wish me luck guys! I need it!
