[@jacobleeson4763]

I’ve done it many times with other cpus. I’ve had CPU’s that can run at comfortable temperatures to touch even after booting to windows with no heatskin. They would take a few minutes to shutoff. The 9900k just has terrible thermals and heats up to temperatures like that before it even boots to bios. Linus knew that thermals on the 9900k were bad but considering that other CPU’s can boot to windows doing it you would assume that it should at least be able to make it to bios.

Just so everybody knows lapping is typically best done in a figure 8 motion to ensure that even pressure is maintained. By going at all angles you prevent sanding with more pressure on one particular side. This is the technique that allowed gauge blocks used in precision machining to be made much earlier than most of the modern machining technology we have today.

[@Mathignihilcehk]

@@MaktheArab It's a company policy thing. You track near-misses, accidents, and the like to ensure a safe working environment. Ideally, near-misses are good, because it means your reporting is working and you can hopefully find ways to mitigate and prevent actual accidents in the future. FOR EXAMPLE, When Linus /almost/ burned his finger touching a CPU, he could've seriously burned his finger in the same way. To prevent this, a new policy "don't touch CPU's directly" and some equipment "a conductive or non-conductive, thin heat-gloves" could be applied to prevent injury. This is more of a big deal when you work in a highly dangerous environment, such as around machinery that could lop your arm off. That kind of thing DOES happen, and if you can reduce the number of occurrences through safety measures, you do that. No idea who else looks at it, other than your company's health and safety officer if you have one. But I'm sure if you had a law-suit relating to an issue or a fine from OSHA or the equivalent, those would absolutely be brought in.

[@droughdough]

@@audacitytheeditor3225 wattage delivery is pretty much instant. Getting °C rise/ second involves getting BTUs. You can determine wattage of a heater to raise temp in a room of a known size. That's your BTUs. Translate surface area of heater to surface area of die. Translate thermal conductivity of volume of air to thermal conductivity of ihs material and cubic size. The smaller your values are, the faster a particular wattage will heat up the thermal mass, in this case mostly copper. Imagine a room heater at 5 times less wattage but a room orders of magnitudes smaller and air made of solid copper. The difference is like 1C per hour compared to like 30C per second. Highly simplified explanation. Even simpler: wattage is energy, smaller things made of metals that can hold more energy will heat up extremely quickly.

[@sparkyenergia]

@@droughdough The way I like to think off it is, most people (aside the really young ones) have grabbed hold of a 60w light globe while it was on or soon after being turned off. The little bugger is damn hot. That is 60w over the full surface area of a light bulb, a CPU will be about 60w but over only a thumb print of area. So you can guess how hot that's gonna get from how hot the light bulb was.

You guys overlooked one thing. Derbauer also has a direct die cooling bracket.

I did this on a 9900k , lapped the die until it was a mirror and results are impressive! It will easy be over 5 degrees extra. Lapping the IHS is another part that is sensitive to imperfections for contacting the die. Cpu cooler direct on die and you easily see a 10 degree difference

You should use finer wet or dry sand paper ~800, and use a thin temporary spray adhesive between the paper and the granite block to keep the paper flat. Use a small amount of kerosene, machine oil or WD40 on the paper to lubricate it. Using a figure 8 movement, turning the die/heat spreader 30-90 degrees every 5 or so figure 8's you make. Check progress often as this will progress very quickly and keep it lubricated. Very important! After either getting close or turning it a full 360, remove the sand paper, clean the adhesive from the granite. Flush the part with WD40 to remove all of the 800 grit. Pat dry with lint free cloth. Then repeat the process with 2000-3000 grit paper, adhesive spray, lubricant, figure 8's, checking often... just like before. When both parts are done, flush with WD40 and wipe until all grit is gone. Wipe down with rubbing alcohol to remove WD40, let air dry for an 1 hour. Then heat the part with the heat gun to 100c and allow to cool to ambient to remove the water (in the alcohol) that didn't evaporate on its own. This method will get you an extremely flat surface. Oh, pro tip: if you don't have access to a granite reference block, you can use glass, the thicker the better.

12:43 "00 is CPU not detected" is this usually the same across vendors? i get a lot of "00" codes on my Aorus Master board, Gigabyte support basically said "it can be anything" It only happens when BIOS tries to restart though, it otherwise works and boots normally, so it does detect CPU, just not every time...

[@Troppa17]

There is no "00" post code. "00" only means there is no code to show. This is usually only the case if the CPU is not detected. If the CPU is detected there will be other post codes.

[@Nordern]

@@Troppa17 "If the CPU is detected there will be other post codes." My cpu is detected, it boots, but if i "restart" from BIOS is always hangs on a "00" code, which i find fairly odd... there isn't andy 00 entry in the manual, neither could gigabyte tell me anything that helps understand why it won't boot when BIOS is told to restart, not that it's a huge issue just a curiosity

[@nissan300ztt]

When I used to overclock regularly I lapped my CPU Heatspreader to a mirror polish. And also my CPU Cooler was also lapped to a mirror finish. It makes about a 10°F Temperature difference.

[@nexxusty]

Mirror finish attained by polish is detrimental to heat transfer. You're stuck in early 2000's. Nobody does that anymore.

[@nissan300ztt]

This was done years ago.

[@joshuabran4646]

I would rather try a direct die mount than this method

[@tresnugget]

Same. Only problem with direct die on the 9900k is it's hard to get good even mounting pressure. Only reason I haven't done it is the people I've spoken to that have, more than not have had to put their IHS back on after lots of fighting due to no post and missing memory channels.

[@hubertus323f]

Yeah i broke 4670k first ram slot (A1) by mounting it direct die. Also CPU did not post. I switched back to ihs then i bought metal and i got stable 4.5 1.33V - bad sample.

[@joshuabran4646]

@@mikeycrackson that's right, could even only the liquid metal making the difference.

[@ChrisHarmon1]

Delidded my i9-10850K using a vice and a small chunk of steel(blank tooling for making lathe cutters). I put some pieces of 3D printing plastic under the CPU to ensure no contact with vice surface ways and put the blank of steel up on the L edge of the lid on the thinner side. This way the blank transfers force from the vice jaw to the lid only on one side while the other side was up against the PCB. I then slowly turned the vice handle while doing my best to keep the CPU flat while watching the PCB making sure it didn't get dented or flex. No heat or removal of spreader glue was done before attempting the delid, I removed it with force only. I also used my nail to remove 90% of the solder from the die because I was afraid to cut into it at all. Using my nail worked out better than most videos I have seen honestly...

[@yourfinaldecree]

After removing the IHS on a Celeron G1620 (ivy bridge I think?) of which I had 5 randomly from a number of old Dell systems I was given and parted out while keeping some of the CPU/MB/RAM kits just for such an endeavour. I fixed it in a vice and specially machined fixture within a nice and relatively new 5-axis CNC and used an incredibly high end Seco 3/16" 3-flute TiAlN coated carbide endmill to shave at first my guess of 0.0015" off the top while spinning the endmill at 16500 RPM. Did not use any lubricant as the coating on the tool and the tool geometry itself at that RPM would relegate any produced heat into the removed material and away. After running passes at a d/2.5 stepover distance and a cutting speed at 11 IPM (I think, maybe have been a touch more or less...) I used a proper buffing abrasive and threw it back in the PC with it's already modified IHS and some thermal grizzly I got half off open box at microcenter. I couldn't believe it worked, but thermals were essentially the same. Tried it again and took only 0.001" of material off and followed the same process. In the burn test maxed out, ran 5-7C cooler which is huge considering how little material was removed, but I had definitely shrunk the distance between the conductive metal layers in the die and the IHS et al. Tried it one more time, and it was dead... I'm pretty sure I didn't have it fully seated in the aluminum fixture I had machined for it... After spending nearly 4 hours working on that alone. I had it to level within all significant figures of a very precise CNC on the first passes and just rushed the last one. I'd be curious if anyone has some hard numbers based on series and generation as to how much material can be precisely removed to decrease thermal insulation in the top silicon layer without encroaching on the active circuitry. Would be a nice thing to be able to skim CPUs tops that precisely should anyone desire to squeeze that out of a particular chip
