    High 7700K Temps with Corsair Hydro H80i and Hyper 212?

    yup, well, delid will probably give you -20c temps, but it doesn't mean that your chip will clock higher if it's already doing the best it can. My system runs 4.8 stable, 4.9 unstable, and 5 crashes under load, all have low temps and plenty of voltage, so I just decided to keep it at 4.8 and...

    High 7700K Temps with Corsair Hydro H80i and Hyper 212?

    His temps are ok. IF he wants lower temps for no other reason than wanting lower temps, then just delid.

    De-Lid Tools in the UK - What's worth it?

    I researched a lot about delid tools, and finally just did it with the razor, took 15 minutes and it was quite easy. Didn't really want to pay close to 100$ CAD including shipping and taxes for the delid+relid tool. Full load temps are down 20 celcius, but I wasnt able to overclock it more. I...

    re-lid without tool?

    You know what, I just decided to run it 4.8 stable with a reasonable voltage. Overall, delid gave me -20c temps under full load, but that's pretty much it. Was it worth the trouble? Nope, not really, in my case, with that chip.

    re-lid without tool?

    Ok, 5.0 is not stable. 4.9 is stable with realbench, but then I get some errors in prime 95 full load. (temps are 78 max from 98 max before). 4.9 raises voltage to 1.425 according to coretemp and 1.4 or so according to cpuz. Now, the prime95 lastest version full load is maybe overkill a little...

    re-lid without tool?

    Ok, prelim results. Works. Idle temp is down to 33 from 40 Realbench temp is barely 65 now at 4.8 Prime 95 small fft is 73 now from 98 or so. I would say that full load temps are 20c lower or so. Will try to OC more and report.

    re-lid without tool?

    I applied the liquid ultra and put some permatex black sealant around the ihs, then pressed it back on with my fingers, aligned with a caliper, put it on some foam, and i put a 6 pounds lead ingot on top for the night. One thing, I did a test fit before applying the gasket. I though that I had...

    re-lid without tool?

    I just did the razor delid, took 15 mins or so. Aimed high a bit into the ihs to make sure I would not cut the pcb. Went well, I just chipped the ihs a little in 2 spots. My gasket sealant tube was all jammed inside so i will buy another one and relid tomorrow evening, and will report tuesday...

    re-lid without tool?

    I want to razor my 7700k and apply liquid ultra. Only thing is I don't have a re-lid tool. Just use gaskeat sealant with a chips bag clip or something to relid, or you guys would actually order the tool from rockit cool?
