How to Delid a CPU for Better Performance
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- CPU delidding is a modification you can make to your processor to replace the thermal compound with a more effective one. This allows for lower CPU temperatures and better, more stable overclocks and higher performance.
Here champion overclocker 8Pack goes through the full process including De8auer's delidding tool and liquid medal compound.
Remember that as with any user modifications like this, it is possible to damage your CPU and will likely void any manufacturer warranty so do proceed at your own risk!
This CPU was used to maximise the performance in the ROG My Rig winner's PC! See that video here: rog.gg/KtXnPM

Best camera work ever...
Video shows a pair of hairy knuckles.
Honestly it wasn't that bad.
@@Alex-lc1bv you're kidding, right?
This is fascinating I knew you would delid a cpu to improve its cooling properties but I assumed it stayed delidded I never knew it was reapplied again.
TheIntronD you can do that, it’s called direct die cooling.
i never reglued my ihs back to the cpu, lol . still great after a year or so.
Franklly, putting the lid back on isn't ideal. Every interface is an additional barrier to the heat. But the lid in this case is part of how the CPU is retained in the socket, so it makes things a little easier to keep it.
@@peteschneider5842 you kidding right? You want to put your cooler on top of your bare chip? lol
@@rafars2246 Hell yeah. That's what you do with GPUs.
thanks for focusing on the guys hand instead of showing us what he is doing, great camera work
god i wish there was a company that sold cpu's with liquid metal already pre applied underneath the ihs. there would be such a huge market for it. there is not a doubt in my mind that people would be buying these cpu's over the regular ones.
exactly!
i've been doing this for the past couple months or so, i actually have someone who sells brand new sealed CPUs for cheaper than retail as well so i am able to sell them quite cheap. only issue i've had is posting them.. The couriers must be a little too harsh with the parcels as when the buyer ends up receiving their CPU the liquid metal would have leaked out from underneath the IHS... this happened 2/2 times however ive sold over 20 in person and all been absolutely perfect. Couple times they get really lucky with the silicon lottery too ive been told they manage to get 6ghz on all p cores and 4.3 on e cores with 75 degrees celcius, absolutely insane
Thank you ROG, this video was exactly what I was looking for to give me the confidence to delid my own CPU. Worked like a charm to get me to 5ghz.
12900k is typing
@@Galane Gonna do my 12900k now. I'm sick of the awful temps.
@@spectrevector1115 filthy rich smh
@Revolutions End-Times Church might crack in the future, but then no liquid metal will sip anywhere. Nothing to worry
@@maanmahmoud4537arent they like 500 bucks? any adult shluld have that money
I'm learning that laptop CPUs are already delid
I learned that when replacing the thermal paste on a 2016 Macbook Pro
This is a great way to increase sales of new CPU's by encouraging people to delid their old CPU's, no refunds btw lol
Just dont be a dumbass
ASUS doesn't sell CPUs, so what would be the point?
@@downstream0114 the point is it'd a joke, not surprising you missed it.
@@downstream0114 they sell desktops though
Or replace your old heat spreader with the new heat spreader.. Than return the new heat spreader ....new cpu
I didn’t even know these things could be done.First time I’ve seen or heard of a cpu delidder.
same here. first time i've heard of this lol
who was operating the camera on this? buy a tripos PLEASE.
The focus is horrific.
Intel charges $100s for years and they use most useless thermal paste ever ! Shame on them
A tip, you can also use the silicon glue to cover the small capacitors on the CPU. Just for good measure.
New Drinking Game: have a shot each time he saw ugh.....
2mins in: Death
k.
Super glue is a very permanent solution. So I'm glad you say you don't recommend it.
I also use a silicone sealant since I don't want to lose the IHS when I decide I need to remove the heat sink lol
silicone sealant is absolute shit and keeps heat inside. it's thermal adhesive that should be used
What if they made CPU coolers that had a thicker base, designed only for a de-lidded CPU thats made just thick enough so you wouldn't have to put the lid back on and just have the cooler directly on the die with no further modifications?
You could risk cracking the silicon with the mounting pressure
It's been done.

@@shanic1411you're really talking about risks under a cpu deliddin video
this might be rather stupid question, nevertheless,
Why putting back metal cover of CPU?
Why not just stuck CPU cooler directly? After all what we see underneath is just the same as any laptop CPU.
the cooler attached wouldnt make contact atall and the motherboard cpu bracket wouldnt tighten
youd have to get a custom cooler and remove the bracket to do bare die.. they do exist but yeah..
hope this helps
@@Journetta I a mean time I have done following:
I have removed Cooler(heat spreader from cpu.
I had removed original bracket for fastening CPU from board (Asus maximus XI)
Had luck that CPU socket was not higher than CPU die :)
I have used no additional bracket, instead I just clamped CPU with water cooler block.(very carefully) Cooler is rather small but sufficient (Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML120L (12cm)
Pitta that I have didnt somewhat filed die on CPU but I am satisfied with results.
Please see attached link.

DO NOT APPLY THE LIQUID METAL LIKE THEY DO IN THIS VIDEO!
I'm currently following this guide and am using thr exact same brand of liquid metal. I've just wasted the whole tube because if you try to squeeze it out slowly onto the q tip like this, with no attachment on, it will all fire out immediately at a high velocity. Even if you follow the steps exactly as they are shown, and carefully apply pressure.
I've just wasted a full tube of liquid metal due to this video. Instead, follow the recommended way on the liquid metal packet instead. I've just put my only machine out of action for days while I wait for a new tube of liquid metal.
Thanks guys.
Nail polish is a terrible idea to insulate anything on a pcb especially when it heats. When nail polish dries it's becomes brittle and it might just snap out of place without warning. It might also be fine but it's a gamble. I'd only use nail polish as a temporary solution when I'm testing a circuit I'm still building if I really had to coat something with a thin insulator. A circuit with more crude components not a damn cpu pcb.
so what would you use?
yup. also silicone too is absolute shit. thermal adhesive would be much better
@@trevnextgen thick non conductive thermal interface material, a very small piece of non conductive thermal pad, thermally conductive ceramic coating, non conductive thermal adhesive which should also be used to seal the lid instead of the shit that was used in this video. so, plenty of options. varnish is an anecdote
where did you obtain the delid kit ?
Apply the Liquid Metal directly! Don’t apply it on the cotton swab because you might accidentally drop it on the circuit board! I learned this the hard way!
Bad advice I always apply to the q-tip
@@toonnut1 That's how Gamer's Nexus does it, do whatever works for you.
I agree with do it what way you want but what I don't agree with is when someone (you) tells people to do it the wrong way with the most risks for damage and thats the way you said and gamers nexus does it wrong if you look on their video I made a comment telling them that. Its common sense to put the liquid metal on the q-tip rather than squeezing that syringe over your whole motherboard. It's extremely easy for the liquid metal to fly all over especially if you've never used it before. The best way is to keep the cpu out the motherboard and apply it well away from the motherboard then drop it into the motherboard after the liquid metal is on the cpu there's a zero chance if the liquid metal going everywhere
@@toonnut1 Well, I've tried both ways myself and that's my experience with it, the Q-Tips can't really absorb the liquid metal well, you could also drop it if you don't have a steady hand. I see what you're saying, my conclusion is it's the skill that matters, both techniques work well.
@@24kmetal99I agree 👍
instead of a mirror surface on lid if it was rougher it would prob be 1% better
Doesn't it reduce the thickness affecting fan fit?
yes it does...but its not so thin that it makes a difference in the mounting...however it makes a difference in the heat dissipation...since the actual distance between the core and the heatsink of the fan is reduced, heat literally travels faster...reducing the thickness of the ihs and changing the thermal paste (or liquid metal) under the ihs are the main goals of delidding...to further reduce the thickness of the ihs you can also lap it...
(if you wanna discuss more about this you can hit me up on insta @nuklearpcmodz)..
No it does not at all. Lapping does that. But that is something entirely different.
shit this is 5 years old but i only found just now that you can take off heatspreader :O never used this method and had old classical air ventilation fans .
Errrr errrr "ughhh"
Cool, it's this is from Asus.
God bless.
all i learned from this was how many wrinkles your hands hace ffs.
how does this not fuck up the contact pins?
Nice Video.Will that tool work with xeon x5690/5680/5675?
Thanks in advance.
Please can you tell as where we can buy this matriel for cpu and silicone
WHAT WHERE THE RESULTS
I would love to see this video but half of it is so damn blurry, stand still my guy lol
That's how the processor in my original xbox looks
? its not delidding , simple chage thermal paste
No disclaimer, brave.
It's in the description
Disclaimer is for chicken americans. Smart people don't need it because of EDUCATION.
So delidding is simply repasting????
No, delidding is removing the LID(top) of the CPU.
Repasting is taking the thermal paste thsts ALREADY on the CPU (or GPU cuz you can do it to them as well) and REPASTE it (hence the name) using either BETTER thermal paste OR liquid metal.
But I know what you mean and the short answer is yes. Lol sorry.
@@PhillipLemmon Thanks for elaborating bro. I needed that. I knew the short answer already
@@robertcooper5308 Kool.
80% of video is showing hand and out of focus footage
what part of the uk is this accent from pl0x
where to buy and what the tool sed needed for delidding?
Make a video by hand, great thing. I finished it right away and watched another video, where I saw the most important thing and I didn't watch any hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What in the fuck is that guy saying????
won't that liquid metal leak away from between heatsink and die and so the cpu will have higher temperatures in that case? I mean i know you isolated the resistors just to make sure the liquid won't leak and reach them, so you expect the liquid to leak from between heatsink and die.
no it doesnt leak it sticks on like a usual thermal paste the conformal coating is extra protection. the liquid metal thermal compound is not expected to leak or leave the space between the heat spreader and the die over time. its in case there is a spill or if there is any excess that squeezes out.
@@tanyesil no, thats not true. Liquid melt leaks when it gets really hot. For instance, the PS5 specially designed CPUS has walls around the liquid metal to prevent leakage. If there are no leak proof walls around the liquid metal, it will run all over the place.
@@theclaybeartravels3596 id like to see you prove your point. ive been using liquid metal on my pc's for some time now, never seen lq metal leak
@@tanyesil so your calling Sony ps5 engineers liars?
@@theclaybeartravels3596 Yes.
why don't manufactures do this?
Greedy morons save 5c on a thermopaste, but get millions saved because of volume. And all of that sh%%%t just to buy for Intel CEO more yachts. ^facepalm^
Easier to just wait for people to try it themselves, void warranty, then buy a new cpu
This applies to all the products you use irl
It's not in their financial interest to give you the best performance you can possibly get out of your CPU. If they did, there's a greater chance you'll use the CPU for longer before spending money on replacing it with a newer, faster one.
There's also the fact that they'd have to start buying liquid metal thermal paste in bulk, which would increase manufacturing costs. Tech companies always skimp out on small things like the thermal paste they have to buy in large volume for the millions of CPUs/GPUs/etc. they're manufacturing. All they care about is using the cheapest materials they can get that will last through the warranty period before breaking (or, in this case, drying out).
what is that q tip looking tool hes using to spread the LM called?
Its a q-tip from Kyronaut which is included in the kit. but its not a basic white q tip
they say its well grim up north...........
all i hear is uh uh uh
Like ps 5 it liquid metal will drag away inside the cpu and we have to delide it again bra
This is exactly how my ASUS laptop CPU looks like. Does that mean that laptop CPUs are delided by default?
No
laptops come without an IHS
hey..a laptop core genrally has a tdp between 15-35 watts...while desktop cores have tdp ratings of 35-280 watts...hence laptops dont need an ihs (which is the metal plate on the top removed in the video)..
@@duvvurisurya8244 laptops dont have an IHS because consumers don't install the cpu and cooler by themself. The IHS is only protecting the die and makes the cooling actually worse.
what is that black glue called? if i needed to reseal the cpu back
it is not the glue you need, it is a thermally resistant high temp. silicone that you would apply if you want it done proper. I use the industrial hi temp. silicone to do the relid with the copper IHS.
Hi temp car silicone.
What is the UHU sillikon glu, used for?
Wood, plastic, aluminium, PVC....
would the delidding tool work with a 9600k?
9600k should be soldered. no need to delid
@@milchkopf3881 Even on the soldered 9series Cpu's you will have temperature advantages after delidding + Liquidmetal... Ive done my 9700k a few weeks ago nd its only hitting 60 degrees on full load with 8cores on 5Ghz.
Only differance to this video is that you will be better of pre heating the Ihs due to solder instead of glue. just to make sure you dont crack that little pcb...
@@milchkopf3881 why?
my laptop CPU already delidded
Not sure why to put old crappy lid back? Just put water cooler directly on the chip!
I did this with an i3-4130 and it went from 3.4 Ghz to 6 Ghz...I used a sticky bogey instead of nail varnish too, and smooth peanut butter instead of silicone...improvise for sure.....then it went on fire so kinda peanut butter on toast I suppose...and a bonus bogey.
wayyy wayyy wayy too much silicon.
He said 79 erm's in the whole video
Change title to "We Delidded a CPU for Better Performance"
what is the used glue?
Relidding isn’t something you should be doing. When you delid and remove the silicone you reduce the gap between the IHS and die which gives you another 5c off so should leave it unsealed.
From experience from a new cpu with fresh paste you get 10c less at load(removed silicon and new high performance paste)
You can get an additional 10c less using liquid metal.
@@joe-fc6be Just don't do it. Relid it proper and use the liquid metal for your DIE and IHS and you're safe. Do not mount any kind of cooler directly to the CPU DIE if not with a specific spacer and if you really don't know what you're doing. This is not the AMD mobile Athlon cpu...
@@ps3customgamer so it's better to have the lid on but without gluing it?
DO NOT FOLLOW THIS VIDEO GUIDE!
The way they apply the liquid metal is wrong. If you follow this approach exactly as outlined in the video, not matter how careful you are, you will spill all your liquid metal everywhere.
Instead, use the syringe and apply a very small amount directly onto the die. This is what the manufacturer of the liquid metal recommends.
Don't follow this video. You will waste your liquid metal and have to order more, putting your machine out of action for days and costing you.
Ask me how I know.
Wht does delied menas 🤔
Delidded mean to have a CPU without its Integrated Heat Spreader
Holy fuck why does your camera keep blurring and zooming, reported for being an eyesore
So stock Intel chips just have thermal paste in them AMD zen 3 chips have LM already in them from what I’ve seen and read lol Intel sucks I don’t care how bad ppl think AMD is there actually really good processors better than Intel always have been for gaming anyhow I’ve games on one Intel system in my life it sucked every AMD machine I ever built even the budget builds over the years we’re gaming beasts for there time, AMD also used to have very good graphics cards I had one NVidia card I bought for my new build a 512mgb card from 2005 when my wife was at work I took my old 512mgb Radeon out of her PC and put the NVidia in her PC lmfao she never knew, now days amd cards suck I have an RTX 3080 Ti in my current PC
