Today I delided my E5-2696 V4 Intel Xeon processor.
It’s a massive silicon, with a tdp of 155w, capable of doing 6,723 points in Cinebench R20, still among the best multithreaded modern processors.
(It is faster than E5-2699 V4)
Thermal gains are insane, it’s dropped from 84º while rendering to 59º. This was my previous idle!
It had a very thick indium soldering that I removed with an aliexpress delinding tool and a shaving razor.
Direct die was possible as the main chip is slightly higher than the metal retention bracket. I used thermal grizzly kryonaut
For me it is insane to have such a powerful cpu inside a case (Dan A4-SFX) that can be stored inside a backpack and being carried anywhere, specially with this temps.
All the tools that I used
