    Crunching with a 4930k

    Anyone here crunching with one of these? Am running 11 out of 12 threads and the temps are averaging 65c. A bit high. Here is my setup:
    4930k
    Asus P9X79 LE mobo
    G. Skill Trident X series 32GB (1866)
    Thermaltake NiC C5 cooler
    Corsair RM Series 750 Gold
    Win7 Pro
    Samsung 840 pro
    WD Black 1TB

    The cooler is user adjustable with a nob inside the case. I crank this thing up but doesn't do much difference but running around 1500 rpms to keep the noise down. Used diamond carat 7 thermal past. Don't have the cash now for a water cooler but lookiong at these temps, going to save for one.

    UPDATE: Had the mobo set for max power so was crunching at 3.9ghz all cores. Changed it back to normal and the temps dropped around 52c, allot better. Can see why folks are not happy with this chip as higher temps with just a moderate OC. Still happy I can crunch 11 threads now.
    So did intel FUBAR the latest chips to kill off OCing?

    It's the crummy TIM they use between the chip and the IHS. Many people have been delidding the chips and using better TIM. There's always the chance that you'll bork the chip doing that but I have 2 3770K chips that are delidded. Dropped temps about 15c. Temps at 4.2 GHz are mid to high 50s at stock voltage using a CM Hyper 212+.

    4930K is soldered, do not try to delid!

    65C is nothing for temps, don't worry about temps/voltage until you are hitting 90C.

    It didn't turn out well.

    Didn't know they went back to solder. Thanks for the heads up.

    They didn't switch. The mainstream sockets are still TIM, the 2011 socket has stayed soldered.

    I just delid a 4770k. Easier than I had imagined with a flat razer.
    The quick and Dirty:
    Grip the processor with your pointer, middle finger, and thumb on the opposite side. With your other hand, Pick a corner, any corner, and slide the razerblade FLAT against the corner, do not angle the blade down against the processor, but rather flat against it. Work the razerblade back and forth against the corner until you feel it cut in a small ways. This may surprise you at first as sometimes the blade seems to "pop" into the corer. Do this on all four corners.
    Now choose a side, slide the razerblade into the corner at the top of the side, being very careful not to slide the razer blade too far under the heat spreader. now you can work the razerblade down along a side until it reaches the other corner. Do this to all four sides and the heatspreader will release once the last side is properly cut.
    The black Silicone can be scrapped off both the heatspreader and the chip with your finger nail.

    Good luck
