I want to razor my 7700k and apply liquid ultra.

Only thing is I don't have a re-lid tool.
Just use gaskeat sealant with a chips bag clip or something to relid, or you guys would actually order the tool from rockit cool?
 
Want to borrow mine? Long as you pay shipping. Got liquid ultra and red gasket sealer too. I also cleaned and used a old thermal paste syringe to apply the sealer
 
I just put the lit bakcon 1mm lower than where it supposed to sit and the CPU locking mechanisme pullet it right on its spot and keep it in place
Was an i7 3770k though
 
I just did the razor delid, took 15 mins or so. Aimed high a bit into the ihs to make sure I would not cut the pcb. Went well, I just chipped the ihs a little in 2 spots.

My gasket sealant tube was all jammed inside so i will buy another one and relid tomorrow evening, and will report tuesday evening i guess.
 
I applied the liquid ultra and put some permatex black sealant around the ihs, then pressed it back on with my fingers, aligned with a caliper, put it on some foam, and i put a 6 pounds lead ingot on top for the night.

One thing, I did a test fit before applying the gasket. I though that I had put very little liquid ultra, but after putting the ihs on and removing, there was a pool on one spot of the die. I removed it, tried again, another pool. Removed some more to barely have a coating on the die and a coating on the ihs(just like a coat of paint), and then i applied the sealant. You need wayyyyy less liquid ultra than you think. I used very little in the syringe and I applied 2x the amount needed. The fit is very good between the die and ihs, there is barely any space.

I hope that I did not remove too much liquid ultra, but I don't see how a drop of liquid metal that can get squeezed out helps. Opinions?

Maybe my first coat was as thick as kyles coat in the video, but I definitely removed a lot until I just had it painted on both surfaces, no pooling. Oh well, tomorrow night we will see the temps and we will see if I failed or succeeded.

I am too skiddish to do a re-lid, I'd probably do a lap only. Did you see any temperature drop improvements?
 
Ok, prelim results. Works.
Idle temp is down to 33 from 40
Realbench temp is barely 65 now at 4.8
Prime 95 small fft is 73 now from 98 or so.
I would say that full load temps are 20c lower or so.

Will try to OC more and report.
 
Ok, 5.0 is not stable.
4.9 is stable with realbench, but then I get some errors in prime 95 full load. (temps are 78 max from 98 max before).
4.9 raises voltage to 1.425 according to coretemp and 1.4 or so according to cpuz.
Now, the prime95 lastest version full load is maybe overkill a little, but still, I got an error and voltage is pretty high.

Should I just drop back to 4.8 and enjoy a more stable system, safer voltage and longer cpu life?

At least the delid gave me -20 celcius under load, but it looks like I won't be able to push the chip more than before the delid.
Opinions?

Thanks
 
You know what, I just decided to run it 4.8 stable with a reasonable voltage.

Overall, delid gave me -20c temps under full load, but that's pretty much it.
Was it worth the trouble?
Nope, not really, in my case, with that chip.
