Liquid Metal Delid

[xXCapAwesomeXx]

I recently delided my 7700K and dropped 15-20 degrees c off of my temps, however, I now idle about 5 degrees warmer and my temps have gone up about 3 degrees since I delided. Was wondering if this was normal or if something may be bad with my Liquid metal spread

 

Thanks!

When did you delid and what is that increase relative to?

I delided about 2 weeks ago this Friday, max temp went from 74 to 77 in TimeSpy Extreme since the first day on LM to now

I also idle at about 3 degrees warmer since pre delid

I haven't delidded anything myself, waiting on rebuilding in the Corsair 1000D, but everything I've read doesn't mention this being normal. Might wanna take it back apart and check it out.

It might just be nothing and I am just over analyzing

Make sure you quote people with the arrow button at the bottom of posts or else they won't be notified.

 

Timespy is too short of a benchmark to effectively measure temperature averages, especially when using watercooling as temperatures increase over time until the loop reaches heat capacity. Use something like AIDA64, IntelBurnTest, OCCT, or Prime95 to measure temperature changes, with tests running at least 30 minutes so the loop reaches heat capacity. Honestly though the change you said is well within margin of error for separate, single runs of Timespy.

i don't know where you live but say 2 weeks ago ambient temps were  3 degrees cooler than in reality nothing has changed. because you know going into spring it's not -10 outside anymore we're hovering around 0 now. and even though we adjust heating accordingly it's not always perfectly stable climate control.

@SquintyG33Rs Thats a good point, Thanks

Unless your room temp stayed the exact same then chances are that is the culprit. Room temps changes will also affect your temps across the board about the same. So if your ambient was about 3 degrees higher then your loop would also be 3 degrees higher.
