They are ball bearings, but they are thrust bearings. So they are designed to allow movement on 2 parallel flat surfaces rather than just an axis inside a raceway. If that knife you are opening the box with is a higher quality one, it may have thrust bearing on the pivot to let the blade flick open without the resistance you would get if it was just a nylon washer.

[@aaronb9630]

Kryonaut Extreme definitely has 1 to 3c better cooling but it also dries out quite a bit faster, as far as my experience shows. You want to re-apply yearly or you lose that extra thermal conductivity. If your going for overclocks or just peak performance it's one of the best you can buy. If your looking to build a system and use it long-term without changing components don't want to re-applying thermal paste regularly there are some better options for longevity over thermal conductivity.

I used the NT-H1 on my CPUs and now 1 GPU the other Day. As far as i can tell it doesnt dry out for quiet some Time and it is one of the Best Thermal Pastes out there (for reasonable Price).

[@jiboo6850]

that's true. that's why most of mid to high range of pastes need few cycles of heat and cooling to really give their best. they last longer but they take more time to give their best. high end Grizzly is really made for OCers that don't wanna lose time with that. they give their best almost right out of the seringe. but you have to replace more often. which is not an issue for a pc nerd. honestly i'd rather change it every year and have best cooling possible than using cheap paste. it's really not that hard to do. but i can understand people not liking to do it. it's like running a car with old engine oil... many people push that to the limit and even way further. which is really not good at all.

[@Llohr]

I have the same motherboard with a 7950x. I didn't change TJmax, but I did test and validate -30 on all cores. I was a little confused by your original clocks, considering I'm hitting around 5.3GHz on all cores _with_ _air_ _cooling._ I don't care if it hits 95C. It's a safe temp, according to the manufacturer. Actually, they say 105 is technically safe. If the CPU lasts until they've released a couple more generations of AM5 CPUs, it will have done its job. With air cooling, there's virtually no cool-down period after returning to idle, so I don't need to worry about heat-soaked coolant reducing performance later. I also don't have to worry about lost coolant, pump failures, or leaks. Heck, I even tested with the CPU fan removed (in a fractal torrent) and the performance barely changed. I'm still tempted to de-lid, but I'd probably try some PTM 7950 rather than liquid metal. That should only be a difference of a couple of degrees. My cooler is already modified to fit AM5, modifying it further to fit a delidded CPU would be trivial.

I've just re-greased my Ryzen 7 5800X with Kryonaut extreme and I've never seen such a large drop in temperature just from changing the thermal compound. It was a pain to apply (doesn't adhere to the IHS very well so was tricky to spread thinly and evenly) but the performance is great, reduced my temps by about 7°C I did have high temps on the first boot, I even ended up with the BIOS going to default due to a failed boot attempt, it seems that this grease needs a few minutes of hot operating to 'bed-in'. By my third Cinebench run the temps were way down to new lower levels and have stayed there since I suspect that the grease may act as a non-Newtonian liquid so that when the block is pressed down it actually becomes less fluid under the pressure (which would also explain the issues I had spreading it) so if it is not perfectly even it can take a bit of time to create a good interface.. I'll be interested to see how it performs tomorrow morning when I boot from cold... 🤔

[@fLaMePr0oF]

This morning: my system boot looped and reset the BIOS again on the first power-up - there are definite issues with this thermal grease, my CPU is overheating on the cols startup, the grease acts as a thermal BARRIER when it is cold 😒 I'm concerned that this grease has two major issues: 1. It seems to act as a non-Newtonian liquid so its performance can be significantly affected by the pressure of the block (something which I have no way to effectively measure) 2. It also seems to act as a thermal BARRIER when cold causing CPU temps to spike on cold startup a machine which cannot be good for a system that is powered down at night like mine At this point it seems that the issues outweigh the benefits and I'll likely be returning it to Amazon as not fit for purpose unfortunately

ASUS is the only manufacturer (maybe EVGA) that has better bioses than AsRock, and ASUS crams their motherboards full of bloatware like asus armoury and fills up system32, even copying file structures in program local. AsRock is one of the best vendors lol.

[@simoSLJ89]

@@Appri Are you high as your name suggests? Maybe there's another AsRock in the world we don't know about

[@Appri]

@@simoSLJ89 AsRock has the best reputation as a mainboard maker- are you high? I've used all of them over the years, ranging from all the major western AIBs as well as cheap aliexpress ones, and have found that ASUS, EVGA, and AsRock are the most reliable. ASUS was filled with bloatware however, and EVGA was definitely #1, while AsRock was a close second. You must be smoking shit if AsRock is a bad one to you, go look at MSI and Gigabyte.

So when the IHS is removed and the CPU delided what happens after that? We just jumped from clean CPU to back on the board. Do we replace the IHS with something else? Leave it off? What gives?

[@Zardnokalicious]

Kids these days are so spoiled. Back in my day if we wanted to de-lid our CPU we used a bench vise with a 2X4 and hammer, and we LIKED it!! Nothing like that adrenaline rush of smacking your new CPU with a hammer to make you feel ALIVE!!

[@gasracing4000]

Always got the coolest stuff to play with. Lapper, delidder, liquid metal... nice.

I'm just waiting for De8auer to put the deliders up for sale. I want to do this to my new build.

[@LastKnight0727]

11:55 what I like to do is use the CRC contact cleaner for situations like that. That stuff eats thermal paste like water eats cotton candy

[@gdeech]

Just watched your 4 year old video on the r5 2700x w/ wraith prism cooler running at ~4.2 semi-stable, knew you're probably not going to be looking at old video comments so I came to your latest video to thank you, I got an r7 3700x, at 4.2ghz and a vega 64 auto vram oc (adrenalin app) running star citizen @80avg on 1080p with the stock cooler. So again, thanks a ton for that video man!!

[@박메롱-k9z]

The direction of the radiator of the 3-row water cooler shown in the video is not desirable. If the radiator pipe side is facing upward, it is easy for bubbles and air to flow in the refrigerant liquid, so this is not recommended.

[@davidwang7489]

Those other voltage settings only affect Manual Overclocking, which is switched on when the CPU draws over a certain amount of watts after a certain amount of time. In manual mode, you can select a set voltage for all cores and a set frequency for all cores (or at least each CCX) to dial in optimal settings for an all-core workload, but it shouldn't be much different to what PBO could do under the same conditions. I would love to see a CineBench score for when the PBO thermal limit is at 95 degrees (which is what is advertised that they can run indefinitely at) and stable values for CO (24 hours of OCCT AVX2/Small/Extreme with only one core loaded at a time). I think those settings can be found under Advanced -> AMD Overclocking in ASRock UEFI. That could show off what delidding really can do. I'm not sure I trust that the "Performance Preset" options offered under the ASRock UEFI are actually stable. It's all about the clock speeds and benchmarks with this generation and not temperatures, since you can set those to any you want and the processor will throttle itself there.

[@stevesloan6775]

Personally Id like to see long term tests(5+years). DeBauer follow up videos with machines actually doing work for him would be excellent!... Same for you Jayz. Long term testing is the keyword. : )

[@jshireley]

You'll never see it, and it wouldn't be of any use anyway due to the variances in the wafers used to produce chips. What worked well on one chip may not work at all on another exact same type, but different wafer pressing. It's the nature of the beast as to how chip fabs work.

[@TheMechanator]

Using the same cpu modded long term tests would be nice to see. I have several 5-6 year old cpus still going with all sorts of cooling mods over the years. Usually it's the motherboard that gives up before the CPU. Wear an ESD strap when handling these things. Use an ESD mat. You will guarantee that no transistors are fried or fail later because of ESD. There are no backup transistors in there. If you have zapped a junction, you will know in 90 days, a year or two later. Wondering why it died all of a sudden?! If you put another cpu in the socket and it boots, well that was ESD that probably killed the cpu.

[@Murph9000]

The CO voltage offset is found in the advanced PBO config on X570 boards, not beside the basic voltage tuning places. I'd assume it's roughly the same on X670.

[@belement]

Please show what you did to mount your block so we can get an idea of what it takes

[@grizzleebair]

I knew exactly which part you were going to play when you queued up the Der8auer video. Hahaha! Good one JTC!

[@DanielElia2036]

Really enjoy your contents jay! You make it easy to understand even if English is not my native language. Cheers from Italy 🤟

[@ixoye56]

I wish both Intel and AMD would sell their cpu without IHS as an option, I wonder why they add an IHS at all since we would all get better performance without it

[@jacquesb5248]

6:15 fast recovery Jay!

[@d.r.paul89]

i remember back in the day doing the same to my i7 7700k with 5.0 overclock

[@DominikZogg]

Thank's to the contract frame, this thermal paste and a nh-15, -0.1V offset I was able to get more than 40k out of a 13900K (Asus Limits) with Z690 DDR4 (3600). But I needed about 280W, 100 more than you used with 7950x

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

Man this is so cool... these channels have sooo many extra computers components.. it would be like heaven to see... And to be like.. ohhhh... I just have a 12th gen top tier system.. just sitting in the corner... lol . Good stuff

[@NightWolfx03]

Sometimes I use acetone to clean cpus, it works faster than alcohol and usually it won't attack underfill or anything on a cpu, it will eat some plastics though.

[@tommasomartini7011]

Hi J, could you please make a video comparing various CPUs snappiness in windows ? Like, day to day browsing in windows and so on

[@gamersftwonline]

jay changed his tune after 1 year of use, i also changed my opinion. i really like amd and one of the main reasons i buy amd stuff all the time is because i want them to win so bad but everytime im a little bit dissapointed and i end up going back with intel because it just works right and its the same with the video cards i tried 3 different amd gpus and ended up going back nvidia because it just works right. and i dont want to sound like a broken record but when it just works right it just feels right .

[@neonspeed1995]

I'm almost out of thermal paste, I guess it's time to get a tube of this stuff. I feel it's worth the extra money if it's gonna get you 6C or better on thermals.

[@LayerZeroDesign]

I have a velocity2 on my 7950x and it doesn't use an ek backplate. It mounts right into the stock backplate using a keyed stud that you tighten from the back.

[@starwolf7365]

Which thermal paste is Jay mentioning in this video? The one that he's going to be using from now on. The one that beats the stuff from Kingpin?

[@digitaltactics9234]

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme👍

[@jumpinfool]

Great video as always Jay! What I am about to say I do not recommend. But My waterblock solution though questionable and dangerous to those who don't pay attention, it worked well for me. I had an old AM4 EKWB quantum velocity block, but the included standoffs wouldn't go low enough for a delidded 7950x. What I found through experimenting and desperation was that the threads on the cpu backplate on the Asus Crosshair Hero matched the threads of my long fan screws. I paired them with some springs from the exwb block kit, and some washers so the screws heads didnt walk on the cpu blocks bracket. Right now my cpu has no hold down mechanism, I am waiting for Thermal Grizzly to release the cpu mounting bracket. Which will hopefully be out soon. The temps and performance gains are nothing to be scoffed at. I got my 7950x at Microcenter for sale, 170 dollars off with an included kit of Flare X 6000Mhz ram included. So i splurged on the Mobo. Expo ram is awesome just a couple clicks in the bios and you are running 6000 Mhz Ram. My number one recommendation for 7000 series is watch microcenter for sales, they have been happening rather often as of late. and if you do jump on the amd train update that bios once you have your computer up and running. The bios that came with my board had a habit of dropping all usb devices every 40 or so minutes. With the most recent asus bios update I have had zero issues with anything.

[@Wiger1988]

If liquid metal can dissolve the solder between the IHS and the die aren't you afraid it will also eat up the solder between those surface mount resistors?

[@TheKuiou]

5450 all core, 75ºc full load, 170watts... it´s insane for a 16 core cpu ( Full cores).

[@AlexWinExperiments]

Something that you should possibly try out is to set max limits on PBO and run prime95 small ffts and see how much power it can pull

[@novusparadium9430]

How is this better than centrifuge cooling again? i much prefer my cpu at a constant 10 degrees.

[@dot_boi]

I might just be lucky but I still have a 7700k that I delided and used liquid metal on the IHS. I did this about 4 years ago, I never sealed it, it just uses socket pressure and I've never pulled it out of the socket. Its actually still running in my home server. It did overclock very well to 5 Ghz but running as a server I did pull it down to stock settings with XMP for stability running usually a month per reboot. This thing rarely ever sees temperatures higher than 50c with a Dark rock 3 and a 1200 RPM fan and I consistently use it for game servers like Minecraft, Satisfactory, KSP, Factorio, Plex, and network storage, its still quite a monster for my home server needs, DDR4 prices want me to buy a 64GB memory kit for it too.

[@starfleetau]

ASROCK has always had the issues with 'pump more voltage' at their OC's even their Intel stuff.. their 8XXX stuff was throwing insane voltage for a 4.8-5.0 oc etc like 1.4v when you could get stable at 1.2 or 1.25

[@CKlegion7272]

Very, very impressive! Awesome vid! You're German is..well it makes laugh, in a good way though. My mother is also German but since I live directly at border with Germany I speak and write almost perfect German. Anyway, I can't wait for next budget build. Just one thing, why not mention the availability and prices western Europe. There's a huge difference between here and the US & Canada. Great job, keep going! Greetings from Netherland

[@Begohan1234]

I feel like you skipped an entire section of this video. I don't know what you did with that CPU after delidding it, did you put the IHS back on?? Do you have a custom IHS? Direct die cooling bracket?? I'm so confused.
