CPU Bored so dellided the 6700k

Decided to delid my 6700k to see what temps I would get. Used razor blade method. Once cleaned used coolabratory ultra between the die and IHS then used go extreme on the heat sink. Results in pic.

What pic?

 

Delidded 7700K here. No brainer using a Ncase M1. Bought it like that, although I have been known to chop them off using the same method. Let us know how you get on.

 

Is the picture not showing?

Idle temp 32c down to 27c
Max temp 80c down to 63c

Both run on intel stress test for a quick 10min blast

 

The pic is showing - it's just hard to make out the results. Excellent improvement!

 

Really? Something must be wrong with my browser.

 

I've highlighted it and put a circle around it for your convenience

 

I have a standard 6700 (non K), so it doesn't really get warm anyways, but if R5 doesn't do what I want it to (or they just don't release any fudging motherboards!) and I migrate this setup into the ITX case I have I will no doubt give this a go myself - just to take the edge off.

Seems to be a fairly good average of 15-20% cooler from the results I've seen, that could be the difference between a CPU running during the winter vs spring in terms of ambient delta.

 

God knows why it's doing that lol.

 

God told me your have your image folder permissions set to private.

 

Pic is too tiny to make out anything.

That said when I popped the lid off my i7 6700 I got a 40 degree drop (100 to 60!).

 

That might explain it - perhaps mods can see private images

 

Will update the pics when I get home from work

 

pics should show now
