Delied Tool

[Lucky75]

Hello guys,
what is the best delied tool for Skulake X CPUs ?
May I use Delid-Die-Mate-2 for Skylake X ?
Or it is a better one ?

der8auer one is much better than rokit for 2066 i.e. it works and you don't have to bake the cpu or any other bs.

Ok, but which one can work with Skylake X.

This is one I used for my 7900x and 7980xe

The rokit one just deformed the tool itself lol.

Yes, I know it and will order it very soon.

I used the rockit delid tool. Worked flawlessly and is a lot cheaper then the one above at $40.

if you have access to a small vice, these are effective and low cost. I used one for my Kabylake 7600k
this particular one is made with 100% infill on all layers. So its very strong. However, probably unnecessary. The one I used was not 100% on all layers.

Soldered SKL-X is really hard to delid no?

 

[OutOfPhase]

There are very limited reasons to delid a soldered processor. Protip: if you're in the camp of asking any questions, anywhere, you probably shouldn't.

Skylake-x is not soldered. They didn't start soldering til the 9xxx series.

Skylake-x is not soldered. They didn't start soldering til the 9xxx series.

Isn't 9980XE and 10980XE generations soldered?

Unless OP has the original 7980XE generation CPU?

Yes the 9 and 10 are soldered. The 7 is not.

which one does OP have? was never mentioned

He says Skylake so it would be the 7xxx.

I used the Rockit on my 7700x with no problems. Quick and easy, at least for me.

I made something at home to delid my 7700k worked just fine. I didn't see the point in buying something I would only use once.

I have the rockit 88 delid and relid tool, the copper ihs too. I did the delid yesterday for my 6700k and it was very straight forward actually. Applied tg conducto with the die, kapton tape around die, dieand ihs cleaned by 99% isopropyl. Used the relid tool and it's curing as we speak.

I am posting because I am asking for help. I used a gasket sealer permatex 82194 between PCb and ihs. I layed down a line around the ihs that left .5inch gap for CPU air expansion. After clinching down the ihs and waiting for it to cure, I can just imagine the sealant spreading out and negating the gap.

How can I tell if that gap is still there without breaking it open?
