Broke one corner of the cpu die while delidding, help please

[Mahbub]

Broke one corner while delidding with knife.. will this work anymore

[aisle9]

Only one way to find out.

 

But really, though, RIP.

if you didnt chip the actual circuit beneath, you might've gotten away lucky

What cpu is it?

I5 8600k

@Mahbub Moonzy is right, as long as no damage is done to the circuit you should be fine. Although I would keep I fire extinguisher nearby lol

We don't know, only way to check is to try.

Shes a DONESKIIIS.. That chip is dead.. Drill a hole through her and hang her on a necklace...

It looks to me like there are also smaller chips in the bottom right corner, and one down the top long edge from the big one pictured. It looks like there are also quite a few scratches on the die itself mixed in with the debris covering it. To me, that looks like a pretty confirmed kill one way or another. Are you seeing the same things I am, or does it look to you like it's just the one big chip?

the CPU's circuit is at the bottom few nm of the die, so as long as it's not damaged, it's fine

and im pretty sure the circuit dont go all the way to the edge of the die too

 

fastest way is to plop it in (with paste and IHS please, dont boot bare die) and test

 

[RollinLower]

that's a pretty brutal chip. i think this chip is dead. and if not completely dead, atleast some functionality will be lost.

 

usually people are right when there is a very small chip that the CPU could still be fine. but this poor fella is missing quite a lot of it's die.

Omg it's booting.. m soo relieved..

that said, it's still a fracture point where potentially more microcracks will start to propagate from, and eventually destroy the circuit underneath/nearby

so start saving up for a new cpu

 

edit: though silicon die is a perfect lattice, so probably less of an issue

How much time i can expect before it dies? Also will this crack cause amy degradation in performance?

10 degree drop on load temps after changing tim and not regluing ihs

maybe in 5 seconds, maybe never, who knows

nah, probably not

360 aio and 5ghz overclock stress for couple of hours hard-core style, if it survives ull be fine. What was you deciding it with? A gold mining hammer? Did u use a proper de-lidding tool? Like Romans one or cheap one? Human error? What exactly happened 

[StDragon]

Looks only superficial.

 

If it boot and runs, I'd say you're ok for the life of the chip.  Just run the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool to be sure.

And you where correct!! 

 

Neat how the silicon getting chipped doesn't really effect the operation!!

 

I've seen (and have) lots of processors that have looked like that and booted fine.

 

@Mahbub , Nice job on the de-lid!! Hopefully the temps are better now??

8 to 9 degree drop on load temps

I ran the tool. Here are the results.. its passed all

A knife.. and i have noctua nh u12 s.. ran it at 4.4 ghz.. 12 hour prime 95 and it passed all prime 95 tests.. no errors..

Nice. my 8700K dropped 15-20c (not soldered)

2700x gained 5-10c (small scratch on PCB, works fine.) (soldered)

220ge no difference. (not soldered) (passively cooled)

Ryzen 3 1200 no difference. (soldered)

Nice.... And so i guess i have nothing to worry abt my proccy right? Also will the chip effect performance any?

Nothing to worry about. Good to go.

 

Lower temps = higher overclocks. At least that's the idea behind it.
