Posted October 21, 2018 I've seen such good results from people delidding CPU's and replacing with better compound or liquid metal. I have the i7 6850K would it be worth delidding?

I have the i7 6850K would it be worth delidding? if you want to overclock further and you have enough cooling to get better thermals from delitting it, yes. if you dont have that or just dont want to be that risky, you shouldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 21, 2018 The 6th gen HEDT CPUs are actually soldered, so you'd have to really be pushing the limits to need a delid for it. I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B Primary PC: i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me. Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference. How many watts do I need?

Ah I see I didn't know it was soldered. To be honest I don't really know the limits of this cpu temps aren't really a problem (idles at 35 and under load it maxes out at 58) just wanted to know if i can push past 4GHz on all cores in a safer way Main Desktop Mac Mini M1 8c | Samsung Odessey G8 OLED Laptop MacBook Pro 14 inch | M3 Pro 11c | 18GB RAM | 512GB SSD Phone iPhone 15 Pro Max Camera Canon EOS R | EF-S 10-18mm | Helios 44-2 58mm | EF 35mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can definitely get over 4 with a good radiator.

I feel like a 140W CPU at 4Ghz would kill my H80i V2 because my 2500K at 95 watts(4.2 GHz) ran the thing at 80-85 under load Main Desktop Mac Mini M1 8c | Samsung Odessey G8 OLED Laptop MacBook Pro 14 inch | M3 Pro 11c | 18GB RAM | 512GB SSD Phone iPhone 15 Pro Max Camera Canon EOS R | EF-S 10-18mm | Helios 44-2 58mm | EF 35mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're running stock with the H80i and getting those great temps, you can probably already start to push it and find out how far you can get. A single rad isn't much but if you have a gold sample on your hands and you never knew it, it will surprise you when you go for low voltages.
