Delidded my 4770k

[Lucksack]

Hello guys,

 

As the topic said, i delidded my 4770k after watching many youtube videos. The reason for doing this, it was simply getting hot around 1.3v, hotter that it should.

So i ran a stress test using Aida64 with the cpu at stock and vcore at stock, here is the screeshot.

 

 

 

I used the hammer and vice method and the chip went off without any struggle Cleaned it well and removed all of the old silicone. Used Noctua thermal paste (Yes i know there is prob many better products, but thats what i had. After that i glued the top back on with some glue. Here is the result after delidding

 

 

Just wanted to share if someone else wanted to try this. Im happy with how it turned out, and will post let you know how the overclock goes, have a good weekend everyone

Thats epic. owo

hold on hold on hold on ... you're running a stress test, yes?  Am I seeing that power consumption correctly?  43 W on the package?  That's nothing!  What is going on here?  Mine will go to 60 W easy when pinned to 100% in most applications, and even higher (up to around 70) with certain programs.

Yes im running Aida64 for 5 mins before and after the delidd

I know that test, it's a staple and well used & trusted by many, but if I put that aside and pretended I didn't know, I would be asking myself what kind of "stress test" can possibly manage to use 100% while stressing the CPU so little?

Hammer and vice method

 

Still seems too sketchy, I will always use a razor blade for my delids

Yea the 4770k shows insane temp improvements from delidding. Skylake is about halfway between the 4770k and 4790k for delidding temp improvements. Kinda frustrating that they went back to a worse tim again (but I'm not using a regular series chip atm so I don't care as much).

Here is my first go at 45x/4500 MHz on 1.335v, to bad core 0/1 is so hot compare to the others, could have gotten more out of this chip i think. whats your take on this guys?

You should be able to go a lot higher than 45x with 1.335V. Hell I can hit 45x on my 5820k at 1.25V and the 4790k basically does it at stock voltage.

 

With delidding, I'd expect a 4770k to hit around 4.7 at 1.3V well within temp limits. (decreasing voltage reduces temp a lot more than increasing clock speed.)

You are one brave fucker Nice job man

So here is my take on 4600 MHz with Vcore @ 1.335

 

[Lucksack]

Well yeah i should be able to go over 45 - 46x, but my system gets unstable.. yeah i can run Aida64 for 5 min ofc, but if i take a cpu test in cinabench it crashed at 4600mhz vcore @1.350v

So i guess im buying a new 4790k and delidd that one and see how far we go with that one

 

I will make a full video and thread when the cpu ends up in the mail

Why did you glue it together? You'll have to change TIM at some point.

Delidding is nothing hard/complicated.

I think messing with the CPU is scary! :c

It's pretty easy to delid. I used the vise only method myself.
