i7 7800X Delidd / Liquid metal or Grizzly paste

[Joveice]

Hi,

 

So I'm buying the i7 7800X and the company who sells are offering

 

delidding for $126/€107/1 000kr

Warranty after delidd for $63/€53/500kr (Not sure how long this warrenty is yet but I know this tomorrow)

Choose between Thermal paste or liquid metal (I belive both are from thermal grizzly)

 

Is this worth it? Yes I'm planing to overclock and I'm gonna use a custom loop.

 

EDIT: I now know the warranty is 3 years

[Himommies]

I mean like if your already investing so much in a custom loop you don't really need to delid right

Where are you getting that delidding done? Sounds a bit expensive to be honest. A Company in denmarks charges 300 dkk roughly 50 usd...The liquid metal from Thermal Grizzly is their conductnaut, Which is one of the Best out there

It's up to you but I would get a CPU and try it out first if you notice temps are high and want to delid I would suggest to get a tool yourself to do it yourself since it would be cheaper to get the tool yoruself.

The company who are going to import all the EKWB parts I need and who sells all the computer parts I was going for. They are a local company south in Norway and ships for the whole country.

But then I get the risk of damage, and a voided warranty.

 

(I found out, it's 3 years warranty)

With a proper delid too it's fairly safe, also that warranty would not be through Intel but the third party delidding service.

Yea I know about the warranty, but if I delidd it myself I won't get it.

They only provide it if they do it

[Moress]

Like @W-L said, just build the pc and overclock the CPU to where you'd want it. If the temps are too high then think about delidding then, but theres a good chance that your temps will be fine and you won't have to worry about damaging the CPU at all

Still pretty expensive for a delid. For that amount you could buy the tool, conductnaut and silicon adhesive/clue needed.

True, but I have never done it. and really did not have plans for doing it. But if they offer it with warranty I feel really tempted.

With the tool it’s no more difficult than scratching your behind

Well, I'll have to think about it. Gonna see what my insurance can cover on that.

Don’t think any insurance covers this kind of fiddling around

delidedded twice myself. First time with the vice meeting god, second time using the delid diemate v. 1 (which should work for lga1151 gen2 as well). Both CPUs is still running without any issues.

 

admittedly it’s pretty nerve wrecking. But using the tool is more or less a guaranteed success. Applying liquid metal isn’t hard, neither is applying the silicon clue to reattach the IHS.

 

edit: just reread OP. Your original question seems to be which thermal compound to choose? I’d go with the liquid metal any day. It is the better, and Thermal Grizzly confirmed to a friend of mine by mail, that there should be no risc of damage to the die, using conductnaut for prolonged periods of time.

If I overclock my CPU and it dies it's covered, if I get a waterleak and the computer dies it's coverd.

So it might be covered for me

 

The CPU I'm getting is a 2066 socket

As long as it isn’t soldered delidding is easy. De8aur is releasing a tool for that socket soon. Linus used the prototype in his most recent delidding video

[Brett_Bst]

liquid metel for the delid then use the thermal grizzy paste on cpu to cooler that's what I did on my 7700k

[Brett_Bst]

the way I see it is the OP is more about the warrenty than actually doing the delid himself

Yea, that's why I made this an "option" as I wasn't going to do it

if you don't mind spending the extra money then go for the delid with the warrentry but MAKE SURE you have read all the things that are coverd by it
