The burn in was successful. (for those of you who don’t know, I have a tradition of sorts where I burn my fingerprint into the IHS of my new CPU, I just kept putting it off for this chip). It will never come off untilI lap the IHS, no amount of alcohol and no amount of wiping ?BEC5B3DF-9510-40E3-8A66-F704124C399F.thumb.jpeg.f09ea32394d0f0bec70034d5cebd8ebc.jpeg

    The process is as such:

    remove cooler

    place finger on IHS

    push power button

    click around in Windows til you can’t take the burn anymore

    @Imbellis strangely, it seems to fill microgaps too small for paste, because paste and alcohol never touch it, it’s weird. Temps are identical.

    @WikiForce tradition, of sorts. Oddly enough, the 3570K hurt wayyyyy more than the 6800K.

    @VegetableStu smells like it, haven’t tried eating my thumb yet.

    How did I burn it? The IHS was already that color since I lapped it, all I did was get the chip hot for a few seconds. People get too scared of their CPU dying after five seconds of 100c, lol.

    It throttled, and maintained 100c. Windows was perfectly responsive.
