FS: i5 9600K Delid With Copper IHS

Intel i5 9600K . Delidded with a rockitcool 1151 copper IHS attached. It is not a super high clocker, but it would make a good CPU for a budget gaming build with air cooling in a lower end Z370/Z390 board that doesn't have a strong VRM. 4.9Ghz 1.35V stable with Prime 26.6 and 4.8Ghz AVX stable with 1.34V (probably could do less but haven't tested lowest voltage). AVX temp range 72C-77C, non AVX range 59C-64C.

$225 shipped​

Pics of the delids and relids of a Rockitcool copper IHS. Quicksilver was used for removal of the factory STIM solder, not sandpaper or razor. Super clean and used Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut liquid metal and a very thin layer of Permatex automotive gasket maker to attach the new copper IHS (the camera made the layer look thicker than it actually is).
I have various I9 9900Ks, I7 9700K/8700K, and i5s all of which got the same treatment.


Used a Gigabyte Aorus Elite Z390 motherboard for testing. With a 240/280mm AIO and 1.35v limit (maybe 0.02v more if temps are really good, but will be noted if so).
Please understand this board has an excellent VRM setup, and other boards with different VRMs and LLC controls may need different voltages, and may not be stable at what I get stable. If you have a Gigabyte Aorus Z390 you should expect similar results with similar settings.

Listings are for the CPU only no cooler or box with the copper IHS already attached and ready to go.​

Intel i5 9600K . Delidded with a rockitcool 1151 copper IHS attached. It is not a super high clocker, but it is very cool at 5Ghz and would make a great CPU for a good quiet air cooler. 1.35v 5Ghz Prime95 26.6 60C-64C temp range, 4.9GHz Prime95AVX 66C-72C range. 5Ghz with up to 1.38v failed prime95AVX, but is fine with prime95 26.6.

i9 9900K does 5.2Ghz Prime95 AVX and Prime95 26.6 stable. 5.3Ghz is close, Im guessing around 1.37-1.38 would do it. Temp range in Prime AVX was 66-77C. Before delid was 76-91C. De8aur sells 9900Ks delided that do 5.1Ghz for over $1,000. Listing mine for,
SOLD to Promleminfected for $565


i9 9900K does 5.1Ghz Prime95 AVX and Prime95 26.6 stable. 5.2Ghz was close with 1.35 but not stable. Temp range 68-75C.
SOLD in a trade to thelead


i7 9700K does 5Ghz Prime95 26.6 stable. First core fails on Prime95 AVX after ten minutes or so at 5Ghz, but is fully AVX stable at 4.9Ghz. So you can set the AVX option in the BIOS to drop 1-2x under AVX load, or add more voltage, up to you. 4.9Ghz PrimeAVX load temp spread was 77-87C, before delid was 81-91C. 5Ghz Prime95 26.6 was 72-77C

For trades, will consider a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Elite or better motherboard, or high end VRM Z370. My Corsair K95 cherry red keyboard is having its LEDs die, so might be looking for a newer Corsair RGB replacement. A 500GB-1TB NVME SSD is also on my list.

 

It's fully safe for copper.

Added one of the 9900ks

 

Bump

 

Dropped prices a bit

 

Adding second 9900k shortly. With 1.35v 5.2 didn't work, but 5.1Ghz seems ok so far.

 

They released a new model for the 9 series. That is what I used.
There is roughly half a mill or less of space from the PCB and the edge of the IHS to allow the rtv gasket to not raise the IHS off of the die when a thin layer is used.

 

Would really like to have a couple of these sold by Thursday so I can avoid a fee on something I have to pay. Make me a reasonable offer.
