Rockit 88 Kickstarter funded: Intel CPU Delid Ttool

[goodtofufriday]

Something I thought many people here may appreciate. Someone's gone ahead and made a deliding tool, and now that the project has been funded it will (hopefully) become a reality. This will help out a lot of OCers and would make a great companion review video to LTT's recent deliding video.

 

There is also a relid tool as well that may come out as a stretch goal.

 

Not really anything to quote here. It delids intel cpus. Nuff said.

 

I'm not affiliated at all with the KS, but you can be sure I'll be trying it out. 

 

Delid

 

Relid

First time something on Kickstarter has made me go "wow". This is really cool.

 

New nickname: Warrantybreaker2000 

 

I might back it though. Just to get one.

10 °C less with the delid + OC'd devils canyon oO"?

maybe going to try it

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

yes, but using anything but a liquid metal TIM such as CLU between the die and the ihs basically defeats the purpose. See linus's 6700k delid video and read the comments about how poorly he did it.

And I will continue to bump that thread, tagging him, until he renounces that terrible video.

was planning on doing that exact same thing. That thread will never fall off the main page until he makes a new vid with the delid and testing done properly.

I delidded my 3770k and because some reasons I am not yet able to get my hands on any liquid metal TIM and I just used my MX-4 TIM, I got a ~15°C on my heavilly overclocked chip (going from 95°C to 80°C with all the other conditions the same running at roughly 1.375Vcore and 4.8GHz). You don't need liquid metal but it is sure as hell advised.

the tim intel used on the ivy cpus was extra terrible so those results aren't that surprising since you were really pushing it. I got a 18c drop on my 6700k at the same clocks/voltages of 4.7ghz/1.376vc with clu. The amazing thing though are my temps at 1.5v+ and 5ghz. Still in the mid to upper 60s with x264 and upper 60s/low 70s with IBT.

So basically, if I'm going to get this tool I may as well buy some Liquid Ultra to go with it?

absolutely. There are some other liquid metal compounds that work well with a delid too. Do a little research and you might find one that works a little better than clu.

I can only say 1 thing, pump more voltage through it, it is sufficiently cooled and a little more voltage won't kill or even harm the chip.

 

I have ran benchmarks at 1.55Vcore at over 5.2GHz for short periods of time and I've also ran a 5GHz overclock for some time after the delid at 1.45Vcore. It can take it as long as the temperatures can too.

Those are some damn nice results, how are you cooling your CPU? I am running some cheapo €28 heatsink (so air).

Is there any rules against advertising a product to break a warranty on a piece of hardware like this?

 

Is Intel likely to get their pants in a twist over this is what I am getting at.

1320mm of radiator, ek supremacy evo, and all fans at idle. Stress testing on just the cpu might raise my water temp 1c or so with the fans running around 750rpm.

i doubt it, delidding a cpu voids the warranty. They shouldn't lose any money over it but theres always that person that will attempt rma fraud...

And I thought my 620mm of rad was a lot lol.

i live at 10,500ft in elevation on the side of a mountain. My fans move roughly half the volume of air through my rads as i would at sea level. Kinda had to go nuts with rad space to achieve what i wanted.

I'm here like, 120mm heatsink anyone?

ITX motherboard with 3 phases. 4,7ghz @ 1,378 was too much

Makes sense. Also sucks. Any pictures? Sounds like an insane or asinine setup.

I don't wanna be the one to bring it to you but get a better motherboard although that may not be easy 

 

I have a 12 phase ATX board, I've even pushed 1.65v through it once (I still can't believe my 3770k still lives...) without any trouble. However, with the new Broadwell-e chips released I suspect the enthousiast chips to be released soon too. I'm already in the process of looking for a 12 phase X99 motherboard.

Something like this already exists and it's called the Delid Die Mate from der8auer, a well known german overclocker.

For twice the price and harder to get.

The only ITX board that would be an upgrade is the impact. But for that premium I might aswell just sell the i5 and get an i7/xeon.
