I used the utility blade method for the 3770k. Can't recommend that. It was terrifying.

Dropped from 100C to 70C at 4.7ghz. On a hyper 212 evo... Was very impressed. This was the era where you could get a hyper 212 evo for $20 on a sale with a mail in rebate. Ah good times.

@@rustler08 This happened because AMD wanted to "keep" the AM4 mounting but in order to achieve that the IHS got thicker and that is not helping with the heat dissipation.

[@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.

[@joepiazza3756]

Kryonaut is not great at high temperatures and the new gen is all about that. I don't know about the extreme version though but I believe it's an issue. I'm using MX-6.

[@CycahhaCepreebha]

I’m using graphite pads and my 7950X doesn’t hit 95 degrees until it’s well overclocked. Yes the IHS is awful and cooler compatibility wasn’t worth the compromise, but the hysteria is overblown. It’s not that big an issue. Certainly there’s no need to start lapping or delidding.

[@flimermithrandir]

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.

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.

It’s actually because of a BIOS update. PBO was nerfed and will now drop very sharply once more than four cores are being boosted, which obviously kills benchmark performance, but also is actually pretty noticeable to people like me who actually do work on their computers. Unfortunately memory compatibility on BIOS without the nerfed PBO is bad, so downgrading isn’t a great option either. I suspect it may be a sinister attempt to make reviewers recommend the CPU, but then drop the performance before end users start doing RMAs. You can use an external clock to artificially raise the boost limit, my ASUS board supports this on the latest BIOS and so far it seems to work fine, but I don’t think this feature is a universal thing.

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?!

This is what I like, you take the risks, show the rewards. So we can sit back and consider the possibilities. I still doubt I will do this, but it's good to know its an option.

[@matthewhaworth5935]

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.

[@Sunstrike1990]

The thing with the "decapitation" translation is, that in German we say "köpfen" if we delid a cpu. So it's not a dark translation, rather a dark word we use for deliding, because it literally means decapitating or even more literally beheading. Kopf --> Head. Köpfen --> Beheading :D

[@DrunkenMalkavian]

In Polish, they call it "scalping" a CPU. I don't like the term though, so I stick to the English "delidding."

[@chosen1one930]

Time for a custom loop and push the chip even further.... have a good Thanksgiving jay

[@Longgshot]

Yea... Motherboard manufacturers often pump the voltage up to the moon. It worked on CPUs before the whole auto boosting thing, to score a tiny bit higer than the competition, but now they raise it so much that it actually hurts performance. Using curve optimizer is usually a must because of that.

[@DisCoM80]

I love your videos JayTwoCents

[@TheKuiou]

this cpu delided is a monster. The best performance/efficiency , way above 13900k.

[@jondonnelly4831]

totally

[@big.al.a961]

For someone who is looking to build my first pc some time in the future, watching various videos, learning what I can and also wanting to buy the best products I can when the time comes… this seems way too much of a head f**k to be considered as a viable option.

[@jonnathan780]

This is for the extremes when it comes to OC/thermal performance; you do NOT need to do this for your first pc.

[@CannedCoochie]

@@jonnathan780 Was about to say this. Delidding and relidding isn't done for normal enthusiasts. The sole price of it and risk means you are only gonna do this in extremely high end parts that can run almost any game to begin with, chances are this is done for overclockers enthusiasts of those that seek efficiency and performance over actual usability. Keeping the normal components with MAYBE an aftermarket cooler is more than enough for the rest.

[@Hunting4MadV]

Love you buddy @ 5:09

[@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.

[@fLaMePr0oF]

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

[@simoSLJ89]

The problem is that ASRock bios sucks :D Jayz I would highly recommended you to change the motherboard in your final build. I'm afraid you will have some strange behaviours in your system.

[@jondonnelly4831]

will updates not sort it over time?

[@hkp9257]

Would be nice if he would test the asrock and give a kind of long time review.

[@Appri]

Sorry, have you seen Gigabyte and MSI bioses? 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.

[@natissimo9609]

I love it XD good job man

[@BaldGuyTalks]

This was a fun watch, the delidding process is too risky for my liking and size of pocket though; but that's why I watch channels like yours.

[@panch01988]

The way you are using the cooler might be causing cavitation on the pump. Try to use it "upside down" with the intake and output in the bottom

[@AndroidBeacshire]

no, pump is at the lowest point so no

[@davybloggs1564]

Panch_88 - Absolutely NOT, your thinking is wrong/backward. Intake/output should ALWAYS be higher than the pump.

[@jarodcleveland4053]

I agree. Gamer's Nexus has a pretty good vid on exactly this. Any air will get caught at the highest point; in this case, the top of the rad where the tubing is. Here, air might be getting sucked in to the pump.

[@Steve-ho5zj]

Wife’s toothbrush?

[@creeperdrop2099]

Nice nice video, Jay! Much thanks. I wanted to tell you something I heard about using Kryonaut for direct die cooling. I was changing my laptop's thermal paste because it dried out after 3 years (thanks, Intel). I read a lot online about how it dries out when temps are 80+ C or something like that. So maybe that is something to keep in mind when using it in your case. I am not how correct this is. I just wanted to tell you. N.B.: I am using Arctic MX-5 now. It has been fine for the most part. A bit irrelevant.

[@LFC4LIFEJEDI]

There is now way in hell I try and delid a £700 processor, I would be scarred shirtless I'd destroy it

[@realhawkproductions]

Why doesn't companies, like AMD or Intel, do these type of improvements from the start if they are constantly done, especially if it improves performance?

[@tsuyu5341]

Because in the end companies will always look for the cheapest alternative to do things, doing stuff like this would cost them more on materials and can't be done consistently through machinery at the moment The reason why these are improvements because this is basically doing stuff precisely and it takes time vs a load of machinery wanting to pump as much of these as possible out

[@giorgiom2803]

Too much time or money consuming

[@antoniohagopian213]

"Might as well go with the best" it's 13th gen lol. Not amd.

[@RyanFennec]

Yea

[@chrcoluk]

Asrock have had over volting issues for years, enable XMP and expect the IMC to be overvolted, my 9900k was 1.37v out of the box, I manually dropped it to 1.25v and no instability whatsoever with massive power and heat savings. I am guessing they do less testing than the more expensive vendors and throw voltage at it for safety. But it is good they added those easy undervolts in the presets and lower temp targets also.

[@lynex83]

Hell yes, they're nearing release finally.

[@luh034]

Jay taking German just made my day. Because yes, "Flüssigmetallschutzdichtung" is a very bad word and definitely doesn't describe a peotective seal for liquid metal.

"I'll be the test of that" Never before I have so viscerally experienced another man's fear

you son my like on this video on "Roman I will be the test of that" hahaha so good haha

[@FloppyTain]

I remember, it was 2001, I or we in the Technical Department of building and fixing pc's ,, used a flat screwdriver to spread the cooling paste on the cpu.

[@konawolv]

I saw the same thing Jay. The reason is because the CPU voltage is mostly controlled by vid. Set vid in lockstep with your voltage

[@rjdahozyable]

Under quality of video I just seen 2160p and was like wth is this expecting Jay to go full anime smooth detail 😳

I can definitely attest to the Thermal Grizzly thermal pastes. I had to take apart my drone to replace the camera module, and I decided to YOLO it, buy some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, and use it on my drone.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@ZMan3k]

He’s come a long way from 3d printed deluding tools for my 9700K. Glad to see he’s still doing great work and improving on his designs. Do they have a copper IHS for this cpu? Also when removing the original thermal compound, I had bought some solder removal paste stuff from him as well. People said they ran out too fast so I used it very sparingly about 4-5 times before I got everything cleaned up well enough that I thought fit to add Liquid Metal and put my new IHS on the chip. Used 4 dots of super glue to hold ISH on and haven’t had any issues since delidding 2 years ago.

[@Slimmeyy]

the standard Intel and AMD IHS' are copper, there's no point in getting an aftermarket one (der8auer himself tested this)

[@KalijahAnderson]

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