so basically you pay from hundreds to thousands of dollars to get low quality paste on the cpu which you should swap yourself and void warranty? and nobody makes an issue out of it?
It's not the stock thermal paste that is low quality, but the gap between the die and IHS created by the thick layer of adhesive silicone. I'm really disappointed that Linus didn't cover this at all, in fact they skipped over removing the adhesive.
No, it's pretty over engineered. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, when you have to tell a VW computer that you put a new battery in it there's a problem with your designs.
Dude... 20 degree difference! Maybe not for a workstation but for O.C.? Hell yes. Also the question isn’t “should I delid” but “why did I have to in the first place?”
The high temperatures are caused by improper contact between the IHS and the die. The improper contact is caused when the adhesive used to bond the IHS to the substrate dries and cures, because it apparently expands and slightly lifts the IHS. Removing the thick ring of adhesive from the substrate allows the IHS to make proper contact with the die, which allows the IHS to transfer heat more efficiently.
The answer being: because Intel decided that their customers don't deserve a proper interface between the die and the IHS on their $2000 CPUs. So they skimped and used cheap, crappy thermal paste to save a few bucks. 775, 1156, 1155 (except for Ivy Bridge) and 2011 users never had to worry about this because Intel used SOLDER for those. How times have changed, eh? AMD on the other hand did the right thing and used solder for all of their processors, from Ryzen 3 to Threadripper. Like they should.
Delidding a brand new CPU is risky. A good option is to consider delidding your CPU when you hesitate to change it. Instead of buying a new one, just try to delid the old one, first. If you succeed, you will be good to enjoy and overclock your old CPU for one more year. If you fail, just buy a new one. (You were hesitating, anyway) Delidding is a good option for giving a chance to your old CPU to get a second life. Even if it's just for 6 monthes, it is worth the price of a delid tool and thermal paste.
I just bought a delidded 4790K. Can one relid it manually? I propose to use very little silicone and to install the CPU in the socket before the sealant is fully dry. Any adjustment of IHS position will take place as the socket frame is lowered and locked. Then the pressure from the socket frame and the cooler bring the die, IHS and cooler, with respective TIMs, into better contact. Comments?
For the prices they OVERCHARGE, the very least they could do is spend a dollar more a chip on decent Thermal paste. They are such money grubbing bastards. I used to be a fan but that was a long time ago. Everyone deserves a decent profit but they have become the epitome of greed!

I am pretty sure tooth paste will actually win... Only logical reason I can think of for Intel to use so bad cooling paste is they WANT your CPU to run hot so it will only last just as long as the warranty and also not over clock well to make you buy new faster and more expensive CPU.

Not over engineered. Cuz of the size and amount of sealant on the chip. A lever is needed to multiply the force you'd be able to apply by the hex key alone. Math is fun
I don't understand one fucking bit, why after spending 1000 bucks on a fucking processor, it's necessary to have to de-lid it and apply better thermal compound to to it. Shame on the manufacturer for putting such a jem at risk of overheating just to save a few cents during the manufacturing process on an already overpriced chip. I mean wouldn't they save more money in the long run by just applying better thermal compound instead of having to replace warranty covered chips that fried? It would also make your customers happier too all over just a few cents per processor. I don't know maybe they're counting on slippage from people not claiming warranties.
maybe they want to force you to buy new hardware after 3-5 years and stop you from selling your old chip on second hand market, increasing in both cases their sales... On the other hands they could just apply good thermal glue and sell the product on a higher default clock for the same price, beating the rival AMD on the price/value. Just strange

they would rather have your CPU run hot, causing overheating if you overclock and would rather have you potentially destroy your CPU in an attempt to de-lid it so you'd have to buy another one
Well it would be substantially less then 5$ to do the manufacturing proper if they just used a proper tim probably pennies more per chip but hey greed i mean they are charging outrageous prices anyways why would we expect things to be done right with the level of greed intel has consistently demonstrated
Try some mild heating of the CPU-package before delidding. We're not talking fingers-crossed-oven-baking-solder-melting temperatures, but merely heating the package from 20-something to ~80°C (aka. way below operating temperature for an i9 :P ) will result in a significant decrease in the required delidding force for an unsoldered chip (and an increased shear force ratio between the solder and the thermal compound) as the shear strength of the silicone is temperature dependent. Delidding an unsoldered chip rarely usher any complications - especially when the shear-method is used, but it can be a disconcerting endeavour in deed :)
I don't think warranty is a problem. CPUs are not just failing left and right. After you test it, OC it and find out if it's good, the chance it'll randomly just fail is rather small. And 20 degrees is not insignificant.
right, so thats why you delid. delidding is quite simple really. all you are doing is putting new thermal paste in, it's not that hard. if you can build a pc you can delid. the delidding tool makes it so even total noobs can do it. so just do it, it costs about 30 bux and you get something thats better than AMD for gaming. what?

Solitude he did used thermal grizzly which is one of the best he got 17c reduction ,and there was probably another 5c or so from liquid metal. But when your going to the trouble of voiding your warranty may as well get all the temp reduction you can
Exactly, he actually claimed to put Conductonaut on there (which is the Liquid Metal) but showed putting Kryonaut on there. So not sure what's going on there.
I just discovered that the Ryzen 7 has a 213 square mm die, while the 7700 series is only 122 square mm. This answers a lot of questions about why Intel chips run hot, they have nearly half the surface area to dissipate heat into the IHS. On the 7900x, the die size is 308mm^2, while Threadripper has two 213mm^2 dies for 426mm^2 total. The 7960X or 7980X are probably a larger die than the 7900X, but this still shows that AMD have better heat dissipation characteristics through die size alone, not just because of soldering on the heatspreader vs thermal pasting it on.
Ryzen 7 die has double the surface area because it has 8 cores instead of 4. Intel processors are just glued with crap because it saves them a cool 50 cents per chip.
HiRez and your comment is just as fan boy as his. As soon as you pay attention to the design of Ryan’s it is just 2 quad core CPUs stuck together. I have no problem with this heck it is pretty smart because it works
Crimsoncube181 No, Ryzen 7 is one Octo-core die. Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 are probably the same cpu with some cores disabled because of binning. Threadripper is literally a mix of two seperate Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 dies in a single cpu.
Intel really needs to stop selling people products with garbage quality materials at those prices. Was planning on getting a 7900x for my work pc, but not anymore. Hopefully they learn their lesson with v2.0 next year.
For the prices they OVERCHARGE, the very least they could do is spend a dollar more a chip on decent Thermal paste. They are such money grubbing bastards. I used to be a fan but that was a long time ago. Everyone deserves a decent profit but they have become the epitome of greed!
The Superpixeljunkie The animation software I use benefits a lot from high clock speeds/single core performance, so that's why I didn't want a 1950X. Now though, I'm leaning towards a 8700k, which still uses cheap TIMs, but at least it costs less than half of what they charge for the 7900x and it has better single core performance. Bonus is that it uses way less power and better for games on my off time. The only downside is there's less PCI lanes available, which I know I would populate.
Its just for the show, linus has everything scripted besides scrapyard wars and "were moving to another xyz location" videos, anthony's fine. I mean linus so bad at "acting" that i don't know how you guys didn't notice but whatever
Why didnt you use something like Liquid Ultra or Liquid pro. As those are liquid metal, the heat transfer is amazing with them. As for your comment about running bare die cooling, you said that theres no easy way to keep the cpu held into the socket. Incorrect, if you have the right cooler mounts, you lay your system on its side so that when you place the cpu in, it lays flat, then add your thermal compound and mount the cooler and the pressure from the cooler keeps the cpu in with good contact. I am currently running a bare die cooling setup with my 4790K and a Supremacy Evo waterblock with Liquid Ultra as the thermal compound. With that setup, I was able to maintain 5ghz at 1.48v under water with a max temp of around 85c. (dont do that, it no likey that voltage) Personally I think you should do a video on bare die cooling with modern cpus and give extreme overclocking a try. EK sells the mounting rods (whatever they are called) so that the waterblock will lay directly on the die.
Isaak neither CPU in this video are using any sort of liquid metal thermal conductor. I took a look online at conductonaut and it is different than what is shown in the video. Also with liquid metal it has a distinct look and applying it takes a bit. I usually use a toothpick to apply it. I believe using actual liquid metal would help temps quite a bit. Especially for overclocking the i9. Edit:posted before I saw your edit 😂
Andrew Joy running bare die is amazing imo. But only if you know what youre doing. As for warranty. I've done some damage to 2 or 3 4790Ks. All were delidded. I just added some thermal compound, smacked on the ihs with some super glue, made sure it was straight and Intel replaced the cpus without any issue. The chips also had no physical sign of damage. They did that with my 5ghz chip too. Man I'm still pissed I degraded it with that voltage. It was a great chip. Ran at 4.8 with 1.3v and after it degraded. So like 3 weeks of running at 5ghz, it needed 1.35v to be stable at 4.4ghz
What I got out of this: Intel charges you $1000 for a cpu that uses toothpaste as a thermal compound... Seriously Intel? THAT'S where you cheap out? Especially as this is the biggest weakness of your latest processors. God damn.
The brand of thermal paste they use isn't the problem. The glue they use on the IHS lifts as it dries and causes a gap between the IHS and die. That is what causes the temperature increase.
Not according to the video, all the comments, and basically every other source of information. That said it is an interesting theory and I bet it's not doing the chip any favors.
Watch WHOLE video before commenting next time... It did reduce temperature 20C using non conductive paste... Only logical reason I can think of for Intel to use so bad thermal paste is they WANT your CPU to run hot. This is to make sure it will only last just as long as the warranty and also not over clock well, all to make you buy new, faster and / or more expensive CPU... I absolutely hate all companies that is so greedy that they sabotage their own products to sell more.
And once again Linus went for thermal paste instead of liquid metal.... The whole idea is to REPLACE the Intel TIM with something that comes close to soldering the IHS and only liquid metal provides that...
I'm not saying the added price should weight on Intel only. I guess that most customers would be more than willing to pay an extra 3-5$ on a 1000$ chip to have a 20°C delta.
idk, you'd say they make a shitton of profit on those CPU's... as i heard this wasn't that big of a problem a few generations ago.... so i guess they could do a better job
Easy answer! The profit for not soldering is almost minimal compared to any other expenses intel have. 1. Chips that run hotter die faster(so more sales for them on the long run). 2. Overclockers can not gain much benefit with overclocks so they upgrade their cpu more often. 3. People are delidding their cpu and loose warranty so less hassle for them with warranty stuff. The cost for soldering a cpu or putting a proper thermal paste is a joke and what intel wants you to believe. I stated the 3 reason above.
Markos Th The amount of in-warranty returns and the better thermal benchmarks should be enough of an investment for Intel to actually consider not using toothpaste.
if you want to avoid the risk of damaging the cpu and the mess and work involved with it - der8auer who made the tool also sells already delidded cpus - it's a bit more expensive and you have to wait a it longer but it's a relatively small priceup and you avoid both the work and the risk of destroying your cpu - they're also preselected a bit like siliconlottery
For a real successful delid, proper cleaning of the pcb and liquid metal paste is required. It's advisable not to glue the heatspreader on at all to get it closer to the die.
That's a genuine bad idea. They have a reputation they must hold up to still be seen as a valid source for information. Their reputation isn't that stellar any more, but they don't have to make it worse.
I saw this video a while ago and enjoyed it then. Now I will have enjoyed it again. This is a good way to squeeze that last bit of performance from a chip and I would be willing to do it myself. Looks like I have a project in my hands. (:
yes.. the i9 is bigger than a Pentium but actually you can even do a socket 775/771 cpu with a max i7 since they are the same size, I knew a guy switching core2duo with i7, he returned about 300 fake i7s before police got him.
Arthur Ma mmm so if i wanna have a golden chip(one that overclocks really high), can i order a bunch from a local store and try them, and just keep the one with better clocks without being considered illegal? I ask because i ordered by accident from 2 different shops, the same cpu by accident but now i wanna try and see which one is better. One of the store return policy already expired.
Hi Linus, why would you replace the TIM with another TIM, instead of a solder alternative such as liquid metal? I have seen much better results using liquid metal. Just curious.
Brandon Frontz point of the video wasn't to get the best thermals. Just to showcase how to do so and explore if it's worth it. And liquid metal is harder to work with. More expensive. And requires reapplication immensely more frequently than TIM. From what I hear every 6-12 months.
If you're going to void the warranty, don't skip IHS lapping. They always have irregular dips in the center. All you need is glass (or a mirror) that's greater than 1/8" (0.125") thick and bigger than the IHS, some sandpaper to lay on the glass and a small amount of water to wet the sandpaper. Use two or three progressively finer grades of sandpaper, but 800~1200 grit is the upper limit (i.e. 320, 600, 800, done). Microscopic peaks at 800~1200 average closer contact to the heatsink than a perfectly flat surface will, and it prevents trapped air from forming wide gaps by giving the air small voids to squeeze into. Every time I change the sandpaper to a higher grit, I change the sanding direction. Otherwise, the scratches are all aligned and using higher grit sandpaper accomplishes nothing. Keep the glass on a flat table, and don't use framed glass (it might break if you push hard against it).
I delidded my i9-7900X using Rockit's kit for LGA2066 and got their Copper IHS that is a little beefier and I got an improvement on average of 20 C (based on Benchmark with Blender benchmark) before and after. Before delidding I could not pass OC of 4.4 GHz (stable) before, now I sit easily at 4.7 GHz at 30 C on light tasks and at average 80C at 100% CPU on all cores on stress tests. Delidding with Liquid metal as TIM is TOTALLY worth it in my book. Thanks Linus and Steve from Gamers Nexus to give me the boost in confidence I needed to perform this task, that could have costed me 1K$ in screw-up.
I didn't even know this was possible given possible dust contamination and the possibility of breaking those tiny tiny tiny little wires you usually see in inside a chip from the pins to the die. I didn't think so far as to realise the die is directly in contact with the pads underneath. Mind blown on a Friday afternoon. Good time of the week for it.
Thank you Linus, for tinkering with equipment well beyond my budget that I will never purchase myself, but find fascinating anyways. This is exactly the kind of content I want to watch while I sit down with my coffee in the morning. Keep doing your thing :)
you have to remove the stock glue completely as it creates a gap between the crystal and the top cover. Can you delid gpu chip from nvidia GTX 200-GTX 400 series? That is what I want to do and it will be interesting.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but GPU dies are bare and don't use a heat spreader so there is nothing to "delid". You can, however, reapply new/better thermal paste to the bare die and possibly lower temps...
You dont re-apply paste when you are re-lidding For anyone who wants to know that just makes your CPU not perform as well Removing the paste is the whole reason for delidding so that the dye is that much closer to the IHS and provides a much better method of heat transfer As well as more expensive paste like liquid metal
Ben Ivory Yeah, maybe it's because Intel is making shitty CPUs with disgusting TIM. Nah, it's of course power delivery, wich by the way, at X299 launch was the main point of failure
Colton Spears Nah it's not shitty! It's the most advanced Chipset yet. You can do your virtual multitasking and even cook on the damn thing, whilst warming yourself during winter. All this at a convenient and affordable price. Yes you might need a thermonuclear generator as a power source but hey, CPUs these days are sure hungry!
the CPUs in the 2009-2012 Mac Pros are delidded, so if you want to upgrade the CPU in a mac pro, you gotta delid your new CPUs because the new CPUs will be too tall to fit the heatsink if they still have heatspreaders
seems like the better option, since the chips already use a thermal paste to begin with. Why Delid if you aren't going to use Liquid metal or something as viable
Иван Иванов maybe a reaction similar to Galvanic corrosion ( aluminium to steel ) and how would to liquid metal wet to the surface of the processor like flux in soldering any suggestions would be helpful as I don't know my are from my elbow when it comes to technical stuff.
Lawrence Stewart no soldering, look up the other videos and you will understand. I asked myself the same question. Wouldn‘t lm in AND on the cpu be the best solution to tp ever?
Video was for demonstrative purposes. Not to achieve the best thermals possible. Obviously we all know liquid metal does a better job. It just needs replaced regularly and is more annoying to apply. No need for that in this video.
I recently built my first pc and bought my processor at Best Buy (yes, I know it’s usually more expensive but I was excited and other parts had already arrived) I couldn’t wait anymore and I picked up my i7 8700k and opened it and just as I was going to put it in the motherboard socket, the top metal part fell over it and I thought it broke my pins but luckily it didn’t. I was scared I thought I messed it up but Best Buy simply sold me one that someone else tried delidding but ended up returning lmao. They sold me a used processor but the process of returning it and exchanging it was much easier than I thought. I just believe they lack computer knowledge and do not know the ways to get inside their own boxes and do not check refunds 🤦♂️ Im glad it was easy to get another one but shit I got scared and it almost broke my $170 motherboard
Very interesting a 20 deg drop, well worth the time and experiment. Shows that the bean counters are still alive and doing well. Remember the Seagate problem with their cheep lube, cost them a lot to make that problem go away.
so basically you pay from hundreds to thousands of dollars to get low quality paste on the cpu which you should swap yourself and void warranty? and nobody makes an issue out of it?
Intel doesn't much care about your temps as long as the CPU runs at the stock clocks without throttling.
you kidding ? every AMD fanboy who champions Ryzen makes an issue of that
RapaxTV look in the comments, hundrets of new amd fans crying about it.
It is disturbing isn't it? Especially when a better quality paste or LM would only add a dollar to MSRP..
It's not the stock thermal paste that is low quality, but the gap between the die and IHS created by the thick layer of adhesive silicone. I'm really disappointed that Linus didn't cover this at all, in fact they skipped over removing the adhesive.
Linus: "Deliding your CPU will void your warranty"

I think they want the chips to have air above them so if AMD actually brings out better CPUs, they will just change the thermal paste.
Changing the thermal paste isn't what brings the temperature down.
Mr Blewvane So? What brings it down than?
The high temperatures are caused by improper contact between the IHS and the die. The improper contact is caused when the adhesive used to bond the IHS to the substrate dries and cures, because it apparently expands and slightly lifts the IHS.

6:40 "Oh it's getting really tight now!" - Linus 2017
Oh, man, that's a lot of pressure! It's getting really hard to push!
Intel said *NEIN* with their i9 to liquid metal or solder between IHS and CPU chip even on 1000$ worth of CPU
It probably only cost like $5 and the rest is profit
intel has fallen off their wagon, plane and simple..
thanks i5 2500k for having a proper CPU lid
IMO the dumbest thing Intel could have done.
Threadripper has proper soldering, and it's BEAUTIFULLY cooler than the i9.
Intel is from Silicon Valley, not Germany.
Well it would be substantially less then 5$ to do the manufacturing proper if they just used a proper tim probably pennies more per chip but hey greed i mean they are charging outrageous prices anyways why would we expect things to be done right with the level of greed intel has consistently demonstrated
Man the difference between old and new videos are really noticeable, awesome job!

Intel’s “new” Core i9 - Kneejerk Edition
Beerus? Why you here! Get back to the MULTIVERSE TOURNMENT!
shit, goku become ultra instink form now, you lose now hahaha
i want i9 just for the asus motherboard tbh but holy fuck they run hot
Intel core i9-9969x Extreme Edition Justsome Lake
Try some mild heating of the CPU-package before delidding. We're not talking fingers-crossed-oven-baking-solder-melting temperatures, but merely heating the package from 20-something to ~80°C (aka. way below operating temperature for an i9 :P ) will result in a significant decrease in the required delidding force for an unsoldered chip (and an increased shear force ratio between the solder and the thermal compound) as the shear strength of the silicone is temperature dependent.
Delidding an unsoldered chip rarely usher any complications - especially when the shear-method is used, but it can be a disconcerting endeavour in deed :)
Thank u lines tek tips!!! Now i can break my cpu for a reasons!

Omg.. soooooo funny
It's made by Der8auer. It can delid EVERYTHING
Always sounds like he is on helium. Theres dogs howling round here. Great vid though Linus.
I don't think warranty is a problem. CPUs are not just failing left and right. After you test it, OC it and find out if it's good, the chance it'll randomly just fail is rather small. And 20 degrees is not insignificant.
A processor so hot you need to delid to have decent temps
right, so thats why you delid. delidding is quite simple really. all you are doing is putting new thermal paste in, it's not that hard. if you can build a pc you can delid. the delidding tool makes it so even total noobs can do it. so just do it, it costs about 30 bux and you get something thats better than AMD for gaming. what?
Only logical reason I can think of for Intel to use so bad thermal paste is they WANT your CPU to run hot. This is to make sure it will only last just as long as the warranty and also not over clock well, all to make you buy new, faster and / or more expensive CPU... I absolutely hate all companies that is so greedy that they sabotage their own products to sell more.

This is RUclips why you trying to find movie mistakes?
Oh man Linus does deliding again ... When will he use liquid metal....
Damien LM it's only for grown up's
Actually, liquid metal also received around 20 degrees dreduction, he wasn't really using low class shit.
Solitude he did used thermal grizzly which is one of the best he got 17c reduction ,and there was probably another 5c or so from liquid metal. But when your going to the trouble of voiding your warranty may as well get all the temp reduction you can
Exactly, he actually claimed to put Conductonaut on there (which is the Liquid Metal) but showed putting Kryonaut on there. So not sure what's going on there.
liquid metal is a rockband?
I just discovered that the Ryzen 7 has a 213 square mm die, while the 7700 series is only 122 square mm. This answers a lot of questions about why Intel chips run hot, they have nearly half the surface area to dissipate heat into the IHS.
On the 7900x, the die size is 308mm^2, while Threadripper has two 213mm^2 dies for 426mm^2 total. The 7960X or 7980X are probably a larger die than the 7900X, but this still shows that AMD have better heat dissipation characteristics through die size alone, not just because of soldering on the heatspreader vs thermal pasting it on.
Ryzen 7 die has double the surface area because it has 8 cores instead of 4. Intel processors are just glued with crap because it saves them a cool 50 cents per chip.
HiRez and your comment is just as fan boy as his. As soon as you pay attention to the design of Ryan’s it is just 2 quad core CPUs stuck together. I have no problem with this heck it is pretty smart because it works
Crimsoncube181 No, Ryzen 7 is one Octo-core die. Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 are probably the same cpu with some cores disabled because of binning. Threadripper is literally a mix of two seperate Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 dies in a single cpu.
I get what you're saying. But I dont have an intel. I just wanted to tell him do to some fucking research like I did before choosing AMD

Answer: No, it's not worth delidding a 1000$ CPU when there's AMD Threaripper with a soldered IHS and 16 cores at the same price.
you beat me to a punch
Imagine a world where AMD and Intel would work together to make a high frequency, high core count, high thermal performance chip
Martin M thanks finally a objective comment!
You sound like a shill who's not trying to sound like a shill.
Martin M why are you lying my guy? AMD released their earnings and ryzen sold very well.
Intel really needs to stop selling people products with garbage quality materials at those prices. Was planning on getting a 7900x for my work pc, but not anymore. Hopefully they learn their lesson with v2.0 next year.
For the prices they OVERCHARGE, the very least they could do is spend a dollar more a chip on decent Thermal paste. They are such money grubbing bastards. I used to be a fan but that was a long time ago. Everyone deserves a decent profit but they have become the epitome of greed!
Damian C why did you want a 7900x for work?
The Superpixeljunkie The animation software I use benefits a lot from high clock speeds/single core performance, so that's why I didn't want a 1950X. Now though, I'm leaning towards a 8700k, which still uses cheap TIMs, but at least it costs less than half of what they charge for the 7900x and it has better single core performance. Bonus is that it uses way less power and better for games on my off time. The only downside is there's less PCI lanes available, which I know I would populate.
dont you want to look at amd? They have way better heat dissipation
Sorry but, they will never learn, until AMD make them bankrupt.
Linus face while putting the protective heatspreader back on the chip: "Hopefully I am not gonna break it, my sponsors are gonna kill me" 😂😂😂

Why didnt you use something like Liquid Ultra or Liquid pro. As those are liquid metal, the heat transfer is amazing with them. As for your comment about running bare die cooling, you said that theres no easy way to keep the cpu held into the socket. Incorrect, if you have the right cooler mounts, you lay your system on its side so that when you place the cpu in, it lays flat, then add your thermal compound and mount the cooler and the pressure from the cooler keeps the cpu in with good contact. I am currently running a bare die cooling setup with my 4790K and a Supremacy Evo waterblock with Liquid Ultra as the thermal compound. With that setup, I was able to maintain 5ghz at 1.48v under water with a max temp of around 85c. (dont do that, it no likey that voltage) Personally I think you should do a video on bare die cooling with modern cpus and give extreme overclocking a try. EK sells the mounting rods (whatever they are called) so that the waterblock will lay directly on the die.
Zombie Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut. It is liquid metal.
Edit: Aaaand I just noticed he used Kryonaut.
they only started putting IHSs on becasue people where bricking P3s with the insane mounting systems back then.
Nothing wrong with running bare die
Isaak neither CPU in this video are using any sort of liquid metal thermal conductor. I took a look online at conductonaut and it is different than what is shown in the video. Also with liquid metal it has a distinct look and applying it takes a bit. I usually use a toothpick to apply it. I believe using actual liquid metal would help temps quite a bit. Especially for overclocking the i9.
Edit:posted before I saw your edit 😂
Andrew Joy running bare die is amazing imo. But only if you know what youre doing. As for warranty. I've done some damage to 2 or 3 4790Ks. All were delidded. I just added some thermal compound, smacked on the ihs with some super glue, made sure it was straight and Intel replaced the cpus without any issue. The chips also had no physical sign of damage. They did that with my 5ghz chip too. Man I'm still pissed I degraded it with that voltage. It was a great chip. Ran at 4.8 with 1.3v and after it degraded. So like 3 weeks of running at 5ghz, it needed 1.35v to be stable at 4.4ghz
What I got out of this:
Intel charges you $1000 for a cpu that uses toothpaste as a thermal compound...
Seriously Intel? THAT'S where you cheap out? Especially as this is the biggest weakness of your latest processors. God damn.
The brand of thermal paste they use isn't the problem. The glue they use on the IHS lifts as it dries and causes a gap between the IHS and die. That is what causes the temperature increase.
Not according to the video, all the comments, and basically every other source of information. That said it is an interesting theory and I bet it's not doing the chip any favors.
7:26 "It's got silicone sealant up the butt!!!"
Linus describing my gay ass
why no liquid metal? temps would drop 20 degrees! that is the whole point to delidding is to use liquid metal instead of thermal grease.
Except is did drop 20 degrees anyway! thats how awful the stuff Intel uses.
Liquid metal only gives you a couple extra degrees over quality thermal paste
Watch the video first, you moron, it did drop by 20.
I believe the sensor is somewhere within the silicon.
Watch WHOLE video before commenting next time... It did reduce temperature 20C using non conductive paste... Only logical reason I can think of for Intel to use so bad thermal paste is they WANT your CPU to run hot. This is to make sure it will only last just as long as the warranty and also not over clock well, all to make you buy new, faster and / or more expensive CPU...

And once again Linus went for thermal paste instead of liquid metal....
The whole idea is to REPLACE the Intel TIM with something that comes close to soldering the IHS and only liquid metal provides that...
he is probably doing that on purpose so he can make another video using liquid metal, that's the only logical reason behind it.
Liquid metal? You mean regular metal?
The only cool liquid metals are mercury and gallium.
xXYannuschXx the sposors...
are you high?
the oven thing worked KICKTHEBASSWITHTHEFACE! watch the actual video next time?
The real question is: why isn't Intel doing the job properly in the first place? Would it be so more expensive for them?
Actually yeah. They sell A LOT of those high-end CPUs.
I'm not saying the added price should weight on Intel only. I guess that most customers would be more than willing to pay an extra 3-5$ on a 1000$ chip to have a 20°C delta.
idk, you'd say they make a shitton of profit on those CPU's...
as i heard this wasn't that big of a problem a few generations ago.... so i guess they could do a better job
Easy answer! The profit for not soldering is almost minimal compared to any other expenses intel have.
1. Chips that run hotter die faster(so more sales for them on the long run).
2. Overclockers can not gain much benefit with overclocks so they upgrade their cpu more often.
3. People are delidding their cpu and loose warranty so less hassle for them with warranty stuff.
The cost for soldering a cpu or putting a proper thermal paste is a joke and what intel wants you to believe. I stated the 3 reason above.
Markos Th The amount of in-warranty returns and the better thermal benchmarks should be enough of an investment for Intel to actually consider not using toothpaste.
A mod video where the CPU die is directly contacts the heat sink would be awesome!
Vice Q he did one with a waterblock that replaces the IHS not that long ago.
CPU at 100 degrees?
Ok, I have this great new idea...
CPU KETTLES!
If you can delid a $1000 cpu...
Well lets just say it ain't worth $1grand.

How to apply thermal paste incorrectly onto a raw processor die by Linus Tech Tips.
And still get 20 degree reduction, showing how Intel just doesn't care what they put between their CPU's.
Munjee Syed
Don't correct anybody if you are not 100% sure about the facts. LOL =)
if you want to avoid the risk of damaging the cpu and the mess and work involved with it - der8auer who made the tool also sells already delidded cpus - it's a bit more expensive and you have to wait a it longer but it's a relatively small priceup and you avoid both the work and the risk of destroying your cpu - they're also preselected a bit like siliconlottery
So cool to see der8auer in a LTT video. Makes me proud, haha. :D
Nequeox are you german??
Use salt instead of thermal paste. Works better
you mean sodium chloride, right?
Felix R Salt is sodium chloride bud
Actually, sodium chloride is sodium chloride.
Skeet *stabs Jimbo multiple times* fuck Jimbo!
Skeet It gets salty when it gets heated
Sorry
i dont like when Linus holds expensive things in one hand
For a real successful delid, proper cleaning of the pcb and liquid metal paste is required. It's advisable not to glue the heatspreader on at all to get it closer to the die.
YOU HAVE 3 OPTION HERE
- VOID WARRANTY
- SAUNA
- THREADRIPPER

Grovers1 that's because it kinda is.
Ben Grogan there is zero reason they couldn't have made this to fit the same socket.

So how are you supposed to say it? Like the phonetic spelling of it?
I saw this video a while ago and enjoyed it then. Now I will have enjoyed it again. This is a good way to squeeze that last bit of performance from a chip and I would be willing to do it myself. Looks like I have a project in my hands. (:
OK now put the lid of that i9 on a pentium G4560 and return it
lol
Arthur Ma jesus christ you are amazing... though you would need to do max i7 with a pentium due to different socket types
yes.. the i9 is bigger than a Pentium but actually you can even do a socket 775/771 cpu with a max i7 since they are the same size, I knew a guy switching core2duo with i7, he returned about 300 fake i7s before police got him.
Arthur Ma mmm so if i wanna have a golden chip(one that overclocks really high), can i order a bunch from a local store and try them, and just keep the one with better clocks without being considered illegal? I ask because i ordered by accident from 2 different shops, the same cpu by accident but now i wanna try and see which one is better. One of the store return policy already expired.

Hi Linus, why would you replace the TIM with another TIM, instead of a solder alternative such as liquid metal? I have seen much better results using liquid metal. Just curious.
Brandon Frontz point of the video wasn't to get the best thermals. Just to showcase how to do so and explore if it's worth it. And liquid metal is harder to work with. More expensive. And requires reapplication immensely more frequently than TIM. From what I hear every 6-12 months.
And I would say that dropping temps by 20°C is good enough. ^^
If you're going to void the warranty, don't skip IHS lapping. They always have irregular dips in the center. All you need is glass (or a mirror) that's greater than 1/8" (0.125") thick and bigger than the IHS, some sandpaper to lay on the glass and a small amount of water to wet the sandpaper. Use two or three progressively finer grades of sandpaper, but 800~1200 grit is the upper limit (i.e. 320, 600, 800, done).
Microscopic peaks at 800~1200 average closer contact to the heatsink than a perfectly flat surface will, and it prevents trapped air from forming wide gaps by giving the air small voids to squeeze into.
Every time I change the sandpaper to a higher grit, I change the sanding direction. Otherwise, the scratches are all aligned and using higher grit sandpaper accomplishes nothing.
Keep the glass on a flat table, and don't use framed glass (it might break if you push hard against it).

I delidded my i9-7900X using Rockit's kit for LGA2066 and got their Copper IHS that is a little beefier and I got an improvement on average of 20 C (based on Benchmark with Blender benchmark) before and after. Before delidding I could not pass OC of 4.4 GHz (stable) before, now I sit easily at 4.7 GHz at 30 C on light tasks and at average 80C at 100% CPU on all cores on stress tests. Delidding with Liquid metal as TIM is TOTALLY worth it in my book. Thanks Linus and Steve from Gamers Nexus to give me the boost in confidence I needed to perform this task, that could have costed me 1K$ in screw-up.
1 min 43 secs is that a new record? has anyone got linus dropping something before this? Oh yer sorry silly question.
11:05 Why does Linus say Conductonaut?
Nowhere in the video did he use liquid metal, did he mean to say Kryonaut?
Bippity boppity oh jeez Linus don't drop it!
I didn't even know this was possible given possible dust contamination and the possibility of breaking those tiny tiny tiny little wires you usually see in inside a chip from the pins to the die. I didn't think so far as to realise the die is directly in contact with the pads underneath. Mind blown on a Friday afternoon. Good time of the week for it.
I just noticed that removing the metal thing in the processor makes it looks like a laptop processor
Gustavo Dalen they are already delidded

you have to remove the stock glue completely as it creates a gap between the crystal and the top cover. Can you delid gpu chip from nvidia GTX 200-GTX 400 series? That is what I want to do and it will be interesting.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but GPU dies are bare and don't use a heat spreader so there is nothing to "delid". You can, however, reapply new/better thermal paste to the bare die and possibly lower temps...
You dont re-apply paste when you are re-lidding
For anyone who wants to know that just makes your CPU not perform as well
Removing the paste is the whole reason for delidding so that the dye is that much closer to the IHS and provides a much better method of heat transfer
As well as more expensive paste like liquid metal
Linus drop tips strikes again!
i hope this will give der8auer some new subs aspecialy he is a famouse oc record holder and he brings his videos in english aswell.
I like how the 1000$ CPU throttles and the 300 one doesn't
Gerardo Ricciardi of course it does? That's what happens when you put more power into a chip, you need better cooling -_-
Ben Ivory Yeah, maybe it's because Intel is making shitty CPUs with disgusting TIM.
Nah, it's of course power delivery, wich by the way, at X299 launch was the main point of failure
Have you even looked at x299 at all? It being overpriced might be a debate you can have but I wouldn't consider it "shitty" by any means.
Colton Spears Nah it's not shitty! It's the most advanced Chipset yet.
You can do your virtual multitasking and even cook on the damn thing, whilst warming yourself during winter.
All this at a convenient and affordable price. Yes you might need a thermonuclear generator as a power source but hey, CPUs these days are sure hungry!
True it uses a lot of power. Not as much as the 1950x but still quite a bit.
the CPUs in the 2009-2012 Mac Pros are delidded, so if you want to upgrade the CPU in a mac pro, you gotta delid your new CPUs because the new CPUs will be too tall to fit the heatsink if they still have heatspreaders
Wtf you don't use liquid metal?!?!
Plasma metal is better
seems like the better option, since the chips already use a thermal paste to begin with. Why Delid if you aren't going to use Liquid metal or something as viable
Иван Иванов maybe a reaction similar to Galvanic corrosion ( aluminium to steel ) and how would to liquid metal wet to the surface of the processor like flux in soldering any suggestions would be helpful as I don't know my are from my elbow when it comes to technical stuff.
Lawrence Stewart no soldering, look up the other videos and you will understand.
I asked myself the same question.
Wouldn‘t lm in AND on the cpu be the best solution to tp ever?
Hasn't Linus mentioned that liquid metal performance degrades in around 6 months. At that point I would also go for better quality thermal paste.
Linus looks like a noob applying thermal paste, and whats the point replace thermal paste with thermal paste? Why not replace with liquid metal?
AND LET THE 1000 YEAR ARGUMENT ABOUT THERMAL PASTE BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugo Vieira he still got the temps to drop 17 to 20 degrees. But you could still use liquid metal either way.
Video was for demonstrative purposes. Not to achieve the best thermals possible. Obviously we all know liquid metal does a better job. It just needs replaced regularly and is more annoying to apply. No need for that in this video.
Hugo Vieira because not all thermal paste is created equal
Hugo Vieira correction. He replaced shitty Intel thermal paste with not so shitty thermal paste
I recently built my first pc and bought my processor at Best Buy (yes, I know it’s usually more expensive but I was excited and other parts had already arrived) I couldn’t wait anymore and I picked up my i7 8700k and opened it and just as I was going to put it in the motherboard socket, the top metal part fell over it and I thought it broke my pins but luckily it didn’t. I was scared I thought I messed it up but Best Buy simply sold me one that someone else tried delidding but ended up returning lmao. They sold me a used processor but the process of returning it and exchanging it was much easier than I thought. I just believe they lack computer knowledge and do not know the ways to get inside their own boxes and do not check refunds 🤦♂️ Im glad it was easy to get another one but shit I got scared and it almost broke my $170 motherboard
Very interesting a 20 deg drop, well worth the time and experiment. Shows that the bean counters are still alive and doing well. Remember the Seagate problem with their cheep lube, cost them a lot to make that problem go away.
