[@hbjigcc]

@@visitante-pc5zc Because the memory controller is integrated into the same 4nm die as the cores. In the regular Ryzen 7000 lineup, memory controller sits in the 6nm cIOD.

@@tr9036 Is the package power limit the same for cpu only vs gpu only vs mixed workloads? The gpu cores are also located on a different part of the die (obviously) so the heat density of the workloads should presumably be different. It isn't a given at all that the result would be the same.

Or the frequency changes. When I load the iGPU on the 7600 when it's overclocked, even by 100Mhz, it locks it to ~2700 despite having a little temperature headroom. (Also ASUS's UEFI setting for GFX Core Offset doesn't seem to work, I have to use the AMD overclocking settings for voltage adjustment. CPU CO settings work fine.)

So I finally got round to delidding my 8700g in A09 case with Thermalright AXP120-67 cooler. Prior to delidding it was running at 95C under aida extreme stress test and 42.2C at idle (fan speed 1300rpm) Post liquid metal it's running at 78.4C with CPU fan at full speed and 83C with fan at 1500rpm. 37C idling. I used conductonaut extreme for cpu/IHS and kryonaut extreme for IHS/Cooler and delidded with ryzen 7000 delid-die-mate from Thermal Grizzly. Decided to go with kapton tape method to protect rest of processor. Extremely happy with result 😊 Thanks Roman

[@CLII1138]

Skatterbencher overclocked both the CPU and IGPU, and he confirmed it loves faster ram. Perhaps some Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 PC5-65600 (8200MT/s) . Skatterbencher doubled his tomb raider score from stock when he oc'd the CPU and IGPU, and he only overclocked his ram to EXPO 7800 but said he wasnt sure what timings to adjust to to get better stability. So now we have more thermal headroom for even greater overclocking and tinker with ram timings on Hynix A die kits. Maybe we can get closer to matching a 6500 xt???

[@srlucastech]

I would like to see an overclock on the integrated graphics using liquid metal and the AIO directly on the DIE to know which dedicated GPU it can replace in extreme situations. If there is a channel that can do this, believe it is yours!

I actually just bought this processor for a compact build. I would love it if you made an improved heat spreader that is compatible with the 8700g.

You don't need to buy a delidder or anything. Use a piece of dental floss to cut the glue. Do each leg individually and it only takes 10 min. Completely safe. Then put some nail polish on the SMDs and apply liquid metal. You'll get the same results as shown here.

After a few years use, my 2400G was becoming horrible to cool. I used your previous delidding video for that CPU and it completely changed the CPU.

[@arthurmoore9488]

Man uses stupidly expensive measuring equipment to verify his company's products are compatible with a part... More seriously, it was fun and I wish I had those cool toys, I mean tools. I'll give some basics in case you or anyone else isn't aware. With the caveat that my degree focused on the electronics and low level programming side. Thermal transfer is more of a Mechanical Engineer's domain. The goal is to move heat away from the chip as efficiently as possible. Three things affect that, chip temperate, temperature of the thing the heat is moving to, how well the stuff between those two conducts heat. Which is further affected by two things, how much stuff there is and it's "thermal conductivity". More or less, the chip's temperature is relatively fixed. A perfectly efficient normal cooler would mean the other side is room temperature. Since he's using the same cooler for both tests that's also fixed here. Which means playing with that 3rd variable. Stupid example, if you put a square of fabric cut from an oven mitt, the heat wouldn't move from the chip to the cooler that well. Both because it would be thick and because fabric does not conduct heat well. Same thing goes with air. Any air gap means you have an insulator. The thermal paste that came on the chip had a thickness and liquid metal is thinner, so he was measuring to make sure there would not be an air gap. The reasons those two products are better than stock is because the Cryosheet has a higher thermal conductivity. Meanwhile, liquid metal is both thinner* and has a higher thermal conductivity. To be honest, the Cryosheet result was the craziest part to me. Mostly because that's the type of thing that could be easily done by AMD at the factory for < $10 per chip to improve performance by a meaningful margin. * Manufacturing tolerances and material selection do mean AMD isn't deliberately making things thick just to decrease performance.

[@DJSammy69.]

[@gotenksjr]

I have toyed with having one of these in a smaller PC, while I would probably just stream games to it via steam I do like the idea of it being able to run some of the older games I might play and it makes more sense than a console at least in the use case I'm thinking of. You kind of covered the reasoning though :P

[@Deja117]

From the CES videos, I remember seeing AMD showcasing I think baulders gate 3 and starfield running at fairly low settings... But both were running at the same time, with no perceivable lag (at least from the video I saw). Quite exciting seeing an APU manage that. :)

And you can totally push it to ~5.3Ghz with a tweaked base clock and good cooling, although it's not got the best silicon quality so cores can use a lot of power. Impressed with what can be done with a 2 CU RDNA2 iGPU as well, although it's unfortunate that OCing it can seemingly limit the CPU core frequency.

It's an APU, thus the 8000. The APUs are what set the full cadence, although the AMx socketable "mid-gens" (relative to Ryzen desktop _CPUs)_ don't always release to retail market. The _CPUs_ only follow every other gen in that cadence. (Except 2000-series, because that was basically a refresh).

[@EinSwitzer]

Huge improvement/ might have to over clock and over drive power just to equal temp outputs / they have a peak temp range so if the bios says 75c to 95c even liquid cooled it might lose compute to warm up cores

[@foldionepapyrus3441]

I think I'd quite like to see direct die on one of these - MiniITX are interesting systems to play with that usually have no graphics performance to speak of. I'm actually building a fun Mini-ITX case that was probably going to be nothing more than a bit of fun and probably replace my Pi powered NAS/home-server. But now with these new higher performance graphics in the APU... Really opens up a world of fun options in that more embedded/compact space, while retaining most of the benefits of any normal PC over a laptop - so with really good cooling could be really interesting. And as the CPU performance seems to have really improved from the most simple of thermal pipeline improvements and being on the same die the GPU probably has similar extra headroom (though I don't know how good the tools for overclocking an AMD IGPU are - not something I've ever look at).

[@nhansgoofyvideos7581]

[@JohnDoe-yv8yn]

[@harlequintheserpent7016]

Being more generous about the liquid metal maintenance factor: My personal experience showed inevitable efficiency degradation in six months to the level of efficiency closer to MX-4 thermal paste and a significant dip below that in the span of a year. I suspect the pumping effect to be the cause, because the rate of degradation roughly corresponds to the temperature gradient you achieve. This effect gets so dramatic with liquid metal because over a thermal cycle it's going through a phase transition to some extent: the chip and the heat exchanger heat up, the gap between them closes in, the compound gets more liquid and gets pished out. Then, during the cooling phase, the gap between the chip and the heat exchanger opens back up, but the compound also cools down, becoms less runny, and the capillary effect can't get all of it back in. This way, bit by bit, tiny fractions of your liquid metal escape and are replaced by the atmosphere air (wich is quite a good insulator). To put it simply: the hotter your CPU/GPU runs under load - the sooner this thing will escape due to the heat cycles expanding and shrinking the gap it's applied to. As a consequence, the more this thing degrades (and the hotter the load cycles get) - the faster it's degradation rate gets. Sure it's good when served fresh, but I personally would never return to that three months wonder. Especially factoring in it's cost and dubiousity of application, that gets amplified 10fold when you have to do the cleanup process from the previous batch.

[@djmccullough9233]

I'd be interested in seeing what this mod does for the IGPU, since that is the big selling point on desktop for this chip. Also, I'm not sure the Amd naming scheme is Deceptive, their following a pattern. the 4000 series was oem/integrated chip and based on the 3000's series architecture, the 6000 series was oem/integrated chip and based on the 5000 series architecture, so the 8000 series is a.... well, you see my point.

On the 7600 overclocking the iGPU at all seemingly leads to mandatory ~2.7Ghz clock-limiting of the CPU all-core workload under simultaneous iGPU load (even if headroom exists). If temperature exceeds 95C then the CPU speed is sacrificed further in preference to GPU performance.
