Delidding the i7 4790k

[DreaderX]

---

i'll be delidding my engineering sample 4670k very soon.. i'll post feedback on how it goes. but i dont think it's too hard to do. ang naka lisud lang is the thought nga if you screw up, you just threw away so much money.. but in this case, i got it from asus for free, months before they released DC.

but yes the waiver sounds good. hehe.

Bro.. Please do post back.. Hehe pra pang increase ug morale ba. When are you planning on doing it?

Hopefully before friday next week.

Thanks sa inputs nmo bro..

Actually, i started at 4.5ghz oc at 1.12v+ temps still reached 80c - 95c and sometimes 100c in about 10 mins.

Based on that I tried 4.7ghz and temps only increased very little so I went with it.

I've thoroughly read a 600+ posts thread at an intel forum and have followed their guidelines on how to properly overclock Devil's canyon. So far I have similar core clock and core voltages with most people in the forum. As for the temps, almost pareha ra sad.

Ang suggestion nla is to Delid.

I just bought this proc last feb2015.

Kita npd ko sa mga vid and di man au lisod i follow. Also i am a DIY guy and would prefer to do things myself if kaya ra.

Ready na akong vise. Wait nlng ko sa Coollaboratory liquid ultra.

Oh that's really a bad chip what you have bro cuz' You still get around 80c-95c even if at 1.12v which is no good since you are using a closed loop water cooling already.

Yeah, i've read a lot of issues what you have as well on some other forum sites even if they are on a custom loop setup already, some others using a closed loop water cooling but still getting higher temps, it's no longer overclocking friendly, so the best solution would be delidding the CPU and see great improvements.

Coollaboratory Liquid Pro would be the best option bro, some others decreased their temps for about 15c which is really helpful, but I think lisod ni sya pangitaon dri sa Pinas, you really need to order it online. You may also use Arctic Silver, Artctic MX or Gelid GC Extreme if you can't find one.

Good luck on your delidding process bro, I know it's not gonna be that hard enough since naa kay Vise, bigger change and success rate. Post nya dri if unsa man gani ang results

with your temp results above, very expensive hardware, ang a lot of hassle... i personally think the effort (and cost) are not worth it...

all i could think of is out of pure "enthusiast" passion to undergo such thrill and excitement... but i think im getting old so mao naka sulti ko nga dili worth it... i mean, even a stock 4790K will just eat anything you feed into it...

Exaclty bro! Hehe... The only reason i bought the 4790k is to push it to its limits. After delidding and temps are better, I'll even try 5.0ghz and more. And when it breaks, hello 5960x.

Mao gyud bro lloyd, dba you're using a Sandy Bridge CPU bro? Nindot gyud ning Sandy Bridge CPU's kay CPU Die is Soldered to the IHS, mao overclocking friendly kaayo hehe. . I don't have an on hand experience overclocking with Sandy Bridge CPU. Can you share your overclocking settings bro? core voltage, frequency speed and the temps you're getting and what cooler you're using?

yes bro, my OC'ed CPU in my main gaming rig is a Sandy Bridge CPU... i5-2550K... share unya nko diri ang OC setting, gi tapol ko ron ug gamit sa rig... hehehe... ang entertainment rig (i5-3570) ra akaong gi gamit ron diri...

cooling system sa 2550K kay Antec Khuler H20 920 w/ a dual corsair SP120 High performance edition fans (2,350 rpm)... mas ganahan ko aning naka full speed permi kay constant ang sound. dili pareho sa naka PWM stock fans na variable ang speed. saba-an ko inig change speed nila.

ahahahaha... ikaw bro ha... nangita gyud ka'g justification for the 5960x... aminin... hehehehe..

Bro if ever success man gani imong pag delid sa imong CPU, if ever pwede ka magpahuwam nako sa imong Vise og share a lil' bit sa imong Coollaboratory Liquid Pro if maka order ka hehe.. I am also planning to delid my i7-4770k dli ko satisfied sa iyang temps man gd, the fact is I am already on a custom loop setup. .

But i still need to think about it, mahal2 bya gyud ni nga CPU, mabuslot og samot akong bulsa if ma TY lang kung ma failed ang delidding process

Intel always try screwing consumers. They could have used better TIM for few $$$.......Good for you bro!
What thermal paste you decided to use?

No need for liquid pro....loosen with blade on four side then vise grip method. Pwede ra blade all the way method pero medyo dugay. GO FOR IT.

Hi guys..

I've decided na i delid na lng jd nko akong 4790k.

Currently running 4.7ghz on all cores at 1.345v.

Idle temps are at 40C-60C.
Playing crysis 3 90C-100C.

Tried reseating my swiftech h240x 5 times already using noctua nt h1. Mao ra ghpn. Nka aircon pd ang room set to 24C

Im going for the vise method.
Still waiting for my Coollaboratories Liquid Ultra which will arrive next week.

Sa mga nka try na, any tips or warnings?

Please share your experiences.

Congrats Bro...I too have destroyed cpu's during my higher testorones years.

Thanks bro..la baligya Coollaboratory dri pinas..Nag order na ko mao nlng ako gi hulat..Will update soon.

hahahaha..uy bro asa ka nka palit sa imo Corsair SP120? naa pd ba SP140, AF120 and AF140?

Sure bro. But prob is, wla ko sa Cebu. Naa pako Dipolog so medyo bugat dalhon ang vise..hehe..borrow nlng sa machine shop or asa ba..1k ako palit sa vise.

I'm sure naay cheaper na alternative sa vise. You can even try the "2 wood blocks" method though d nako ma search ang video krn.

Nka order nako ug Coollaboratories Liquid Ultra bro.

sa JD mall bro... online shop diri's main land China... nahutdan sila'g AF140... pero, sa Taobao, daghan kaayo'g stocks sa Corsair fans. complete did2 ang atoang mapili-an....
