Biglizard shared his experience and suggestions for improving performance. He mentioned using a wooden toothpick instead of cotton buds for spreading the liquid, adjusting the TIM settings manually, and tightening screws by hand to prevent over-tightening. He reported stable idle temperatures, quick full loads, and acceptable gaming temperatures. He also asked if the 4.7GHZ at 1.235v result was satisfactory or just average, and inquired about the Prime95 version used, noting it might be outdated.
Jasonke1406 shared some adjustments they made after disassembling the device. They used a wooden toothpick instead of cotton buds to spread LM more evenly, keeping a balance between liquidity and mirror effect. They also cleaned up the TIM on cooler and tightened screws manually, avoiding over-tightening. The improvements included a reduced idle temperature from 43-46°C to stable around 39-40°C, full load times of about 5 minutes for IBT and OCCT Linpack at 68-70°C, full load by Reabench at 70°C, and gaming temps around 55-60°C. The temperature difference between core 1 and core 4 was only 3-4°C, which is good. They asked if these results were satisfactory and whether a re-check would help further. They also mentioned checking Prime95's FFT results and wondered why the temperature was higher than expected with Linpack. They referenced an older version of Prime95 and suggested using version 26.6 or disabling AVX in local.txt for 28.7.
Biglizard shared some adjustments they made:
They tried a different small drop on the die and used wooden toothpicks instead of cotton buds to spread LM more evenly. They kept a bit of liquidity and mirror effect, avoiding just scratching the surface.
They also organized the TIM on cooler, spread them manually, tightened screws by hand, and avoided using a screwdriver to prevent over-tightening.
Results they observed:
- Idle temperature dropped from 43-46°C to stable around 39-40°C.
- Full load achieved in 5 minutes with IBT and OCCT Linpack at about 68-70°C.
- Full load with Reabench took around 70°C, likely due to RealBench stressing the GPU and ambient temperature rising.
- Gaming temperature stayed between 55-60°C.
- The difference between core 1 and core 4 was only 3-4°C, which is a positive sign.
They asked if this performance meets expectations and whether they should recheck everything for further improvements.
Additionally, they mentioned checking Prime95 with a small FFT (around 76°C) and wondered why it showed higher temperatures than expected, referencing a previous version. They suggested using Prime95 version 26.6 or newer and noted that 28.7 supports AVX instructions.
