    one thing that might have influenced the test is that the tests in the article illustrated temperature deltas of 70+ degrees meaning that the chip was prob running in the mid to high 90s in terms of degrees celsius. At that level, chips would start to run into some current leakage, making any improvements in cooling have an amplified effect.

    I think a key detail was missed. It's the ILM (not the cooler) that's applying too much pressure across the middle of the CPU causing the CPU to have a slight bend. When a cooler is mounted it'll make good contact with the top and bottom of the CPU as these are the highest points. But the middle of the CPU will be lower and so the gap between CPU and cooler will be greatest resulting in less effective heat transfer and higher temperatures.

When we lapped the parts we use a flat stone not glass. start off with 160, 200, then 300 grit wet sandpaper you can use oil too but its kind of a mess. When you sand it you go in a FIGURE EIGHT pattern. It keeps it staying flat. If you go back and forth one side WILL wear down more than the other. Good job keep the vids coming. Thanks :)

    This mod has been life saving for me. I'm running a 12900K with a Corsair H150 Elite Capelix AIO on an Asus Z690 Formula motherboard. In Cinebench 23 the P cores averaged around 95-97C with 2 cores reaching 100C (with original AIO thermal paste). I removed the AIO and I saw that it made contact with the CPU at the top/bottom edges and in the middle it was clean (I don't think the paste even made contact in the middle). I put new paste but the temps did not change. I thought, well, bad luck, this is it. Then I saw the article from igor's Lab. I went to the hardware store and I bought 4 washers (M5 as they did not have M4 :). I was busy this week and only today I got the chance to implement the mod. Now in Cinebench 23 the highest temp is 89C with the other P cores averaging around 85C.

  • @zarethd

    For a very long time a domed heatsink (not heat spreader) has done the best for cooling by giving more pressure and more squeegee effect to get the maximum amount of TIM out of the way.
    That's probably not helping with the issue since manufacturers know this gets them better temps.
    Once the cooler and heatsink are mated to each other (bent basically lol) it's virtually identical to two flat surfaces.
    What's gonna happen tho is if you switch from a domed heatsink to a flat one you're gonna get awful temps.
    Bigger IHS means it's even harder to squeegee out extra TIM if you over apply due to identical mounting pressure but lower PSI!!

  • @DamianPEdwards
    @DamianPEdwards 2 года назад +11

    Can't see another comment saying this, but I interpreted the explanation as being the actual CPU retention mechanism itself was causing the bending of the the CPU *and* the socket backplate. I have experienced this on my own 12900K install. By adding the washers you lessen the tension holding the CPU into the socket, *not* the cooler block's contact with the CPU tension.
    The other workaround that's been detailed is to ensure the cooler mounting baseplate is mounted on the motherboard *before* putting the CPU in, so that it ends up reinforcing the motherboard and CPU socket, making it more resistant to being bent by the tension applied by the CPU mounting system.
    I've been experiencing cooling issues with my own 12900K under full load (Cinebench R23 multicore, thermal throttles instantly but still scores >27K) and it's very evident on my board and CPU that there is quite a lot of bending taking place around the socket, resulting in poor contact by the cooler (ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360). The thermal paste pattern shows very poor contact on just one side of the IHS too (the side towards the PCIe slots).
    I'm working with ARCTIC support to try these workarounds and see if they help at all.

I am having the same experience with my 12700KF (not overclocked) in Cinebench. 2 of the cores (cores 2 and 4) sky rocketing straight to 100 celcius, and as a result thermal throttle. The E cores running between 81 and 83C, with the P cores lowest being 87C and maxing at 100C. The cooler I am using is the MSI MAG CoreLiquid 240R with LGA 1700 mounting kit. Tried reseating and reapplying thermal paste with no improved result. Short of trying a different cooler, not sure what else to try. Would expect better cooling even from a 240 AIO.

      @@PeteyPete173 I've built another 12900K system (for someone else) & seen the exact same behavior. I tried the washer workaround on my own system and it made no difference. On the 2nd system I didn't see any of the socket bending but the CPU still thermal throttles instantly under Cinebench R23 multi-core. The scores are good though, as the CPU seems to immediately clock down slightly to find its equilibrium. I also built a 12700K system but didn't see this issue. That CPU maxxed at around 90 deg C under same load. My best guess so far is that this issue a combination of silicon lottery and motherboard defaults/settings for 12th gen. With the MSI board it asks for the type of CPU cooling system being used on first entry to the BIOS, and if you select water cooling it maxes power delivery out. The CPU then draws huge amounts of power once under full load until it clocks back slightly to prevent thermal throttling.

    When I was a teenager I loved lapping my CPU for the performance gain. I'd run my rig without thermal paste on those lap jobs. I had a jig I built to lower the cpu or cooler down evenly, and you could mount cpu coolers into it as well with some additional parts. Mirror finish on the CPU and the cooler and no thermal paste netted me better temps than i've ever had, but the amount of work isn't worth it anymore IMO, especially with the gains from overclocking being so much lower than back then. At the time we were taking 2.8-3.3ghz CPUs to clock speeds similar to what you see today. Took an e8700 to 5.2ghz in 2010, lapped mirror flat along with the water block that was running it. Same CPU ran 5ghz all day 24/7 stable as well for years before it got replaced with a 3770k if memory serves, dude was broke AF but had plenty of sanding supplies lying around since his dad did auto detailing lol

      @@pronewbofficial hard to say, the chip and cooler tended to vacuum seal together, it could get really difficult to pry the CPU off if you pressed it against the cold plate when it was out of the socket. My bet is it wouldn't have any significant effect, or would just make it worse. One of the installations I did this way actually cold vacuum welded together because of how perfectly flat it was. It was installed for a long time and at some point part of the IHS copper and the cold plate copper just fused together lol. Normally this would never happen since copper oxidizes super fast, but we think the friction of the 2 surfaces managed to disrupt enough oxide for it to be a non issue. We also basically did a finishing lap on both immediately before applying them together, so it only had seconds exposed to the air before getting installed for several years. It's a LOT of work though for very little gain at this point. Delidding the CPU and designing a cooling block that goes directly on die gives you far greater gains for less overall worki

Power levels were basically the same as today with intel's high power draw on the last few gens. Remember, we're talking about a bump of almost 2ghz and significant voltage increases from baseline. Like from 1.05-1.2v to as much as 1.45v, so more volts and more amps both (as a result of the clocks). The situation was similar on my 2600k at 4.7ghz, I had a VRM designed for 400w+ just to hit that as a daily stable OC under water. This was before intel started using thermal paste under the IHS, I basically stopped OCing around then because I wasn't comfortable with delidding at the time, and the boost speeds of the 4790k were good enough for the time. With my Q9650 at 4.7ghz daily driving, and crossfire HD5870s also overclocked, I actually killed a 1050w Enermax PSU (Revolution 85+, came highly rated by jonnyguru himself), should have gone with the 1250w model lol. This was back when I ran 6 hard drives, tons of LED strips, 2 pumps @ 30w each, and 15 fans, so even with only ~900w going to the 2 GPUs and CPU, that only left 150w of overhead for all of that.

    There’s a technique to lapping something like that. You put that glass setup on a barrel. You sand say 10 circles. Then you turn the cpu 90° clockwise while you walk 90° counter clockwise around the barrel. Repeat till you’re back where you started

      True. But it could be useful for anyone lapping any sort of heat sink. Good thermal paste and ever more efficient cpus help mitigate the effects of them not being perfectly flat. And if you’re going to lap the cpu you should do the same to the heat sink. For many people including myself lapping the surfaces isn’t necessary. But if someone wants to give it a try this could be useful so more problems aren’t created.

I'm running a 10900k with a Corsair H100i, and I literally just pulled everything out of the boxes and put them in my system. I've never messed with after market thermal paste and the highest I've ever seen my CPU temps get is the high 70s, maybe 80 at a spike. My old 9590fx AMD CPU with the same model of cooler used to get 85c+ easily, and it had half the cores with the same clock speeds. I guess maybe if I was into over clocking I might need to do something, but as I sit now with the base clocks and base boosting clocks everything runs cool in my 7 year old NZXT Phantom case. I even have a 3090 sitting in the case air cooling and it peaks at about 80c when I am putting a full load on it, so the air in the case is warm and goes up through my CPU rad, but the temps still never get high.

    With a "Stock" LGA 1200 mount ( which looks the same as a 12th gen LGA 1700) my i7-12700KF was pegging at 100C. With the Artic Cooling LGA1700 mount ( the ONLY difference I saw was a 1mm shorter stud ). I was at 72C. So one 1mm WASHER to make the mount go UP. Makes a LGA1200 mount the same as the Artic LGA1700 kit. BUT also gives a LGA1700 "room" to tighten. You are right with the LGA1700 kit was tighten to its at zero lash. By getting the extra 1mm you get some room to "tighten". That said, I think they may have been using a LGA1200 mount on a 12th gen. You HAVE to use a LGA1700 mount on LGA1700 board, the LGA1200 FITs.. and it FEELS right. BUT ITS LOOSE.

    You need to do this mod BEFORE your CPU already turned concave. It's a mod to avoid it bending overtime and thus losing contact with your cooler (unless you wanna repaste every week) or having worst thermal 'cause more thermal past needed.
    It's still good to do even once it turned concave, so it doesnt keep bending overtime (and thus turn temps bad again).
    Either way, that's not something you can notice on new builds or builds that doesnt last more than few days.
