What CPU cooler do you have?

Honestly, it's not worth delidding. I delidded mine and wasn't too big of a performance gain.

if you don't have experience don't break your CPU

I would advise against it unless you are running at those temperatures with a high end liquid cooling system and plan to do some major overclocking.

I've built 3 PC's, but none for myself... In fact, I'm using an iMac that my dad bought for me as my desktop. Awkward...

Please don't say "SSD drive." By doing so, you are literally saying "Solid State Drive Drive" and causing my brain cells to commit suicide. The same applies to HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).

h100i.

 

Oh, no... Not the best of the bunch. Swiftech is great for something like this.

I'm stuck with it now, Planning to mod my GTX 970 to a EK block with a outside case rad so GPU temps wont be a issue.

 

Nice.

so should I risk a delid (hammer method) or is this fine?

 

It's fine. Just deal with it for now and get better water cooling later. Delids are too risky.

I'm thinking about a delid for my 4790k which runs at max 78C at 1.2v.

 

Any advice on if I should do this?

 

EDIT:Cooler is h100i

yes, leave it alone...there are not much more to gain beyond that...you risk damaging your CPU and this would be VERY unfortunate.

i'm sure when you're gaming and stuff your chip is not reaching 78c with that cooler at those settings...it cant be my 4770K at 1.2v with similar cooling solution gets to 58c while gaming the most demanding titles and around 75c when rendering long videos.

Buy the overclock insurance, then kill it and get a new one.

i guess...this is another option :)

but i wouldnt do that just because i wouldnt want to be without a CPU for weeks....4.2ghz is plenty and i'm sure he could get more out of it by learning how to tweak the settings.

 

Start by settings VCCIN or CPU input voltage to 1.8v and set ring bus to 40 and 1.28V and then increase multiplier to 44 or 45 at 1.3v and it should be good to go!

Yeah, I was being (half) facetious.  If he's serious enough to think about delidding for performance then $25 shouldn't seem like a big deal.

 

But if he doesn't like the cost, then he should probably reconsider the whole idea.

 

Still, it is an option when you've got a bummer of a chip...

Recommended voltage for frying a CPU? :ph34r:

 

I'll look into it for purely OC reasons. I've decided to get a 900d a few months from now for more rad space. Will have a build log once I get it in ;)
