it's kinda surprising to see just how much biggeer the 11900k die is vs the 10900k. so much more room but for 2 more cores. but that also somewhat explains the temps. bigger die surface area plus the bigger ihs surface area means better cooling. thats probably the one thing intel did rite with rocket lake.

[@matasa7463]

I wish Intel would release a special CPU SKU that either has liquid metal pre-applied, or leave the IHS unglued and unsoldered, so it is easy for overclockers and enthusiasts to liquid metal the CPU. You'd think it'd be a core focus for Intel, given their advantage over AMD being that monolithic die being so good for liquid metal and extreme OC...

[@BaBaNaNaBa]

[@greggreg2458]

@@mimika9541 What risk? (Not trying to be rude, just asking) Once delidded you can safely put liquid metal on the die, so why should it be more dangerous to put liquid metal (high percentage of gallium in it) on top of the indium solder, which covers the die, to dissolve it? I did exacly that to my 9900k and it's immensely safer and easier than use a razor, ( it's not a critic to Roman, he is very experienced so he's fine) also cleaning liquid metal/gallium it's easy, a paper towel does the trick.

Just to let you know, it should be rather easy to resolder on those surface mount components.

[@tomoprime217]

Using a razor across the die? Any surface scratches is bad. Couldn’t you just spot heat it up and use a solder debraid to remove excess material? Thanks for sharing you are a braver man.

[@TheStigma]

Sometimes I wonder if we would have been better off if Intel just stuck to using thermal paste... Because the benefits of indium solder seem to not really be that great after all - and in return it makes delidding way too risky to be practical. At least back when they didn't solder then it was cheap, easy and fairly risk-free to delid using an appropriate tool. I wish you could just buy the chips unsoldered, but that's never going to happen realistically - even if it would be trivial for Intel to just skip that last step in production for a few CPUs. I still don't quite understand why they aren't able to manufacture this better. Having 10+ celcius less under load would be a huge benefit to the products, and it's not like liquid metal is some dark magic. Especially when current Intel products struggle with high heat output it seems weird that they haven't put more effort into optimizing this. When you can DIY-mod a product to get such an improvement it really speaks to shoddy design/manufacturing.

well, taking in account the difficulty of the delidding process itself. If you have good soldering equipment, smd removal alloy and good soldering skills. It would be very easy to first remove the smd components, usually just some capacitors, one by one, recoding location of each component, then delid without a worry and place the components back into the original location afterwards.

[@blackbeardthepirate7467]

That's a frightening delid process, have you tried a fluxed solder ribbon on an iron to clean up the In instead of risking a chunk of your thumb to a razor? Does the LM dissolve the indium residue? I'm really curious what the story is with the larger die despite dropping two cores. Does correlate with your results though, better thermal transfer through a larger surface area and less cores adding heat to begin with. Maybe Intel just wanted to send off that legacy silicon with a robust physical design.
