I've personally never heard of that one. I just know it's soldered on, because a guy broke his CPU trying to delid it, and made the news from multiple tech sources, lol.

So....Devil's Canyon isn't really made with enthusiasts in mind then. *sigh* So my Xeon X540 is still a better for overclocking.

Yes i delided my i5 4570 even tough it doesnt overheat that much and saved between 5-9 Celsius using arctic silver 5 versus stock so definately you can, use thin razorblade or the tap method watch out for signs to know which side has the small regulators on you dont wanna hit on that side or cut with the blade too deep

If anyone ever seriously uses Arctic or recommends it they should tear out their own hair and eat it.

 

Go Google a single benchmark. You're spending $10+ on something 5% better than stock paste compared to gelid, noctua, and more.

And that was found out after I went through 3 tubes of the stuff, then got 1 tube of MX 4, then 1 tube of Z9 when MX 4 wasn't in stock (MX 4 and Z9 may be from different manufacturers, but they look and performed the same).

Just an update for anyone interested.

First prototype of an LGA1366 delid tool.

LGA2011 is coming soon.

 

Mac Pro guys... this is it!

Delid those $100 ebay Xeons and save a ton.

Easy, quick and safe.

what the shit!?

I might be completely mistaken but between the die and the IHS is thermal compound and not solder - heating that over a certain point will mess the microbumps between the die and the interposer

not even taking into account that heat will mess the die itself

Say if I bought this tool and de-lidded my 4770k, could I use any TIM?

Yes.  You'll see the biggest improvements with ivy brdge and OG haswell ( 4770k) because they use crappy TIM.  Devil's canyon and skylake fixed that.  I got a 20C improvement on my 3770k by doing it.

Basically : anything before ivy bridge : solder 

 

All mainstream ( lga 115X)  processors ivy bridge and later : TIM

All enthusiast and xeon processors (lga 2011) : solder. 

 

Keep in mind : xeon e3 chips on lga 115x use TIM

that's what I though

going in with a fucking torch and uncontrolled temperature is some utter stupid shit for melting some epoxy spread at the edges of the IHS
