Weird things happening with 9900k

[killyx]

Hello there!

Something very weird is happening to me, here's the story : my friend and I wanted to make a 9900k direct die config onto the Ghost S1 (yes it's dumb), so we have some hardware in common : 9900k direct die (with same liquid metal and same direct die kit), stock bios settings, Big Shuriken 3 + NF-A12x15, Louqe Ghost S1.

 

Where it gets weird is our first boot : my friend has 31°C idle, I have 45°C ; after 30 min of P95 (derbauer recommended settings) he got 75°C max, and for 3 hours, he's in low 90°C, my cpu throttled over 100°C after just 3 seconds of test.

 

I re-pasted my liquid metal 2 times, with a little bit more, and then a little bit less, and my result is that it's getting worst every re-paste I make.

I checked and the die is making a solid contact with the cooler, I even tried different spacers for the bracket since Rockit Cool Direct Die Kit has alternative one for lowering the height of the cooler.

 

I even tried to stop the CPU fan when idle for 20 seconds, and the temps are getting the exact same (45°C), is that normal? 20 sec is not enough to make a difference?

In fact I have the exact same problem has Jayztwocent in his last video of watercooling a ghost S1.

 

SO...What am I doing wrong? Is it possible that silicon lottery affect temps even at stock speed? Motherboard can affect that much temps?

 

Here's some photos of my build :

First application of LM before putting the cooler

After my first re-paste with little bit more liquid metal (after removed the cooler so I can check the "spread")

 

Thanks for any answers!

No proper contact or not enough contact.

I really checked carefully, and even changed the spacer to reduce height of the cooler, I'm sure it make proper contact.. I have tried to change his position 3 times and nothing changes. And my friends didn't even use the spacers provided with the kit, he just used the stock one;

More liquid metal? / check if same is happening with thermal paste?

You might have messed up the temp sensor by removing the solder? that requires a lot of heat i would assume
