Intel gave the gift of delidding....

What performance gains are to found in delidding Ryzen if possible?

I've been thinking about this for 2 days now.
 
Depends what TIM AMD uses. If its the shit TIM that Intel uses then it'll be fairly large. If it is any halfway decent TIM then probably only a minimal performance increase.
 
Considering that even bristol ridge uses solder, delidding Ryzen would probably be the sort of stuff people soldering 6700k do.
 
I heard it's already Soldered.... not too many gains to be had then.
 
It is soldered, I confirmed this with AMD last week.
 
That soldered IHS looks well made. I was hoping for easy access to the bare die.
 
I've read there are also temperature sensors attached to the lid - sounds like delidding would not be wise or you would benefit from anything.
 
Yeah, people don't realize that UNSOLDERED IHSs are actually just an Intel thing.

Fairly positive AMD used glue for some of it's dies too.

That temperature sensor does not report anything accurately anyways, so who cares.
