3770k IHS Removals - CPU temp dropped from 79C to 71C

[OC Nub]

They make a screwdriver with a star shaped head, looks like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Torx_01_KMJ.jpg or this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:To...20-T25-T30.jpg

It only takes a minute to remove it. Make sure you apply even pressure when installing your cooler.

The reference design incorporates a T-20 Torx head fastener

Thanks for that info Dudes

Here's another removal

It has to be asked.. is that guy a complete f|_|king retard? At least it looked like the moron got what he deserved when it looked like the system he put the CPU in wouldn't boot. I'm actually surprised he didn't snap the damn CPU in half literally gouging a penknife into the CPU and then just smacking it. Talk about a caveman with a stone and club approach. For any n00bs who watch that video... don't remove a IHS like that, use a razor blade or at the thickest a sculpting / crafting knife.

If I remember my thermodynamics, simple contact is all that's needed for heat transfer, so what's wrong with bare-metal? Both IHS and die are pretty flat from what I've seen. These CPUs don't make much heat anyway, and if you OC too much the die has not enough surface area to cope.

Your memory of thermodynamics fails you The reason TIM is needed isn't so much to do with how flat a surface is (unless its a really cheaply made thing) but because of micro fissures that are there even with the finest processes, they trap very small pockets of air, which as we all know air is very poor at transferring heat. The TIM seals up the micro fissures which leads to superior heat transfer.

for some reason i'm not buying that video..

looks like intel set someone up to do it and fail so that people are scared out of removing it themselves. Who would keep filming and upload a vid of them killing a cpu. bleh.. just dont know

Hi People

Popped mine last night hopefully still working I managed to injure the CPU so am lil worried il be putting it in shortly..so fingers crossed..

Its funny how light the CPU is without the IHS! Brings back nice memories of Athlon XP Days - the weight of the pins ofc

anyway place your bets dead or not dead

I noticed the part were I damaged it has writing on it and not Circuit lanes so might be ok hehe

I've now successfully de-lidded 3 Ivy Bridge CPUs, my own 3770K, and 2 friends 3570Ks. Used IC Diamond on each and dropped temps by 10C in IBT/Prime 95 27.7. Switched to Coolaboratory Liquid Ultra and an XSPC RX360/Raystorm/D5 setup and now see temps 32C cooler compared to an H100 and Diamond IC. Thermal transfer into the IHS and away from the CPU is critical on these chips. I recommend Coolaboratory Liquid Ultra and similar liquid metal thermal materials only for IVB de-lidders.

[Jonny5isalivetm]

heh o well I just bought IC Diamond.. Il try that and see how it goes.. I have a quad rad + 2 passive rads so hopefully not be too bad ;D

[techguy2k5]

My buddy who has my old H100 just got his Liquid Ultra today and applied: 23C cooler compared to IC Diamond, using same cooler. If you're not de-lidding your IVB and using Liquid Ultra, you're wasting your time.

I'm having problems with my order of Liquid Ultra right now. I received my Arctic Cooling MX-4 though, should I bother trying it? Any have MX-4 stable between the die and IHS? At this moment I'm using Arctic Silver 5, temps are around the same as stock TIM. Noctua NT-H1 was running 10C hotter than stock TIM after a day, so this is already better.

BTW, has anyone tried Shin-Etsu G751 between the die and the IHS?

yes dropped 10C

thats TARZAN way

Well I can report SHE IS ALIVE DDD

Looks so damn pretty all naked in the CPU Socket xD

No clocking just yet but coldest core 17c degrees at idle.. with the IC Diamond for now

What about Liquid Ultra on a Naked core ?

great work mate you are on direct die ?

[Jonny5isalivetm]

hehe First time I have ever delved this far into Mods lol

Yes mate Direct Die cooling Have not tested load yet but so far it is amazing! currently temp reads @ 10 degrees C after S3 !!!!! crazy At idle it warms up to a toasty 15 or so lol also all the fans I have running x4 are all going nice n slow just wondering has anybody else Direct Died with Liquid Metal yet ? as this might be the ultimate..

Yea my old LGA-775 Danger Den waterblock still going : - )

I cleaned both surfaces with Meths then applied the IC-Diamond, cost a lot when ordering so thought must be good..was even more expensive than Liquid Metal!!! I wish I had done more research now.

I never used any bracket or anything thanks to the waterblock with 4 screws I could tighten him right down nice in tight and this was enough pressure to keep the CPU happy :-)

Have fun

Cooler Master HTK-002-U1-GP is stable. I could not find a silver paste, which is stable between the die and IHS on my CPU.

[ToxicBug]

yes dropped 10C

Apologies, which one, the MX-4 or G751?

[andressergio]

mx2 or mx4 same temp

[Jonny5isalivetm]

Dudes my memory is meant to be 2400mhz but any setting I try and it only boots at 2133mhz.. bad memory or CPU ?

[andressergio]

in your sig u are running P67 y should have an IVY Bridge BIOS right ? and has to show you all dividers of mem till 2800 right ?

so you put 2400 at the settings mem says to be and wont boot ? what about less ? can be IMC of chip related...or mem we will have to dig a bit more with more data

How do I remove the black stuff from the pcb ?... I've got the ihs off.

with an old credit card just go over it taking it off i did it with the same razor but u can scratch the PCB the just use isopropyl aclochol

Got it, I used my fingernail.... thanks.

Perfect, I'll use my MX-4 then. Thanks!
