So i have delidded my 6700k and recently bought noctua d15s, i have used noctua included NT-H1 which is one of the best non conductive paste. Used it both between IHS and die, as well as between heatspreder and cooler itself.
Once i did it, i overclocked cpu to 4.9GHZ at 1.410v, run prime95 same day and temperature max temperature was in low 80's after 20 mins, which is great i thought. Then next day, i tried prime95 again but this time temperatures were close to 90's, i was like ok... but during gaming temperature never exceed 80. And today when i tried to run just a damn cinebench r15 temperatures went instantly top 95 and pc shut down
You may think i didnt applied paste correctly but im sure i did because before delidding i had experience with at least 20 cpu or gpu tim applications. Also before i put final noctuas paste i reaplied it 3 times just to see how it spreads, im sure its all over the die but not too much.
I guess this kind of tim is not for delidding, this why i want to ask for advice. I dont really want to go for liquid metal for couple of reasons. 1. too many people complain that it last only like 6-8 months and then perform worse than any cheap tim. 2. Then after 6-8 months its extremely hard to remove, u need some special liquid and then sand and so on. 3. Also its pretty expensive to buy it every 6 months, people say it dries out in tubes (not sure).
I have tried to find similar topics with no success. So if you could give me advice or better product name that will perform well between cpu die and heatspreder. Also how is it possible that TIM performs great between cooler and IHS, but bad between die and IHS?
Thanks!
