Delid of my i3-8350k office PC because why not.

Upgraded my home PC recently, so I threw my old Gigabyte z370 Gaming Wifi board into my office PC and while I was at it for kicks I decided to delid the i3-8350k for no reason at all that I can think of other than to post a thread of me doing it... Seriously that's the only reason I did this lol.... Anyway, my delid thingy was like $10 on Amazon and I already used it on my 8700k.



Get your scraping on.



Polish it off and apply the nail polish stuff.



Apply the liquid metal with complete disregard to both (surface tension scifi stuff).



Slap it in the motherboard w/ no adhesive because YOLO. (better noticeable temps)



Apply the Grizzly what ever the right way is these days... (are eggs good or bad for you today?)



Aaannnd done... (except for needing to clear my CMOS, boot loops, fans going bonkers, and then it all working just right)




Today's lesson was brought to you by the President's 6G technology, and what seems to be about 10°C drop in temps while still at stock speeds on full load of prime95. It's an 8th gen i3 so I didn't care enough to really be that precise...

Awesome! THanks for sharing!

What was the temperature drop?

Eyeballing it w/ a quick prime95 run it seems at stock speeds I dropped about 10°C max temps. I'll overclock it when I have time to break things again.

Did the same with an i3-8350K and an i7-8700K last year and ran them both at 5 GHz. The i3-8350K was run in a small Cooler Master Elite H110 mini ITX box water cooled with a weird Corsair H5 SF low profile AIO water cooler. A bad photo montage is provided.

That's really neat, thank you! Good looking office pc. When I read "office PC, first thing that comes to mind is old yellow white plastic gateway/IBM type case.
