I completed my first build last week. And I just finished my first delid tonight, and the overall process went smooth.I used the vice/hammer/wood method and used AS5. Took about 3hits and it popped off. Yup- returning the vice to Home Depot tomorrow .... I wasn't really going to delid my cpu, but sadly I bought a below average chip to overclock with.
I5-4670K Batch #: 3339B838 (purchased at Micro Center about 2-3weeks ago)
Mobo: Asus Z87-A
PSU: Corsair CX600M
Ram: 2x4Gb Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz (9-9-9-24)
Stock Idle Temp via Hyper 212 Evo and AS5: 27C-33C
Ambient Temps: Not sure I live near the coast its about 13-20c outside
Test 1
Core Ratio Multiplier: 40
Cache “Ring” Ratio Multiplier: 38
Core Voltage: 1.180
Core Voltage Mode: Manual
Cache Voltage: Auto (Adaptive)
Core Voltage Mode: Auto (Adaptive)
Idle Temp: 36C-42C
Max Core Temp: 79C
Max Temps: 79C, 78C, 78C, 74C
Stability Test: Prime95 blend test for 10hours 17mins.
Test 2
Core Ratio Multiplier: 40
Cache “Ring” Ratio Multiplier: 38
Core Voltage: 1.165v
Core Voltage Mode: Manual
Cache Voltage: Auto (Adaptive)
Core Voltage Mode: Auto (Adaptive)
Idle Temp: 36C-42C
Max Core Temp: 78C
Max Temps: 78C, 77C, 76C, 73C
Stability Test: Prime95 blend test for 1hour 20mins.
Test 3 (after delid used Test 1 Configuration)
Core Ratio Multiplier: 40
Cache “Ring” Ratio Multiplier: 38
Core Voltage: 1.180
Core Voltage Mode: Manual
Cache Voltage: Auto (Adaptive)
Core Voltage Mode: Auto (Adaptive)
Idle Temp: 36C-42C
Max Core Temp: 72C
Max Temps: 68C, 69C, 72C, 71C
Stability Test: Prime95 blend test for 1hr.. currently running and going to leave it on overnight.
I did my best to remove the black glue off the IHS but didn't remove all of it. Not sure if that is the problem. I might use a hairdryer to melt/remove most of it off this upcoming weekend. I carefully used a flat screwdriver to apply the AS5 (did it about 4x) and used it to 'paste' a thin layer. It looks like I'm only going to see about ~5C-7C difference on max core temp. I was hoping for at least double.. My Idle temps before delidding and after delidding seems to remain the same.
I guess the upside is that if I lower the voltage like I did in Test 2, my max temp will be around 70C or maybe even less. I also like to mention that I have 2noctua push/pull fans (which I regret purchasing) on my Hyper 212 EVO, 1 noctua exhaust fan, and 2 corsair intake fans. Oh well- I guess my goal of a 4.2oc with less than 1.2v/70C seems to be just a dream.
