Delided My 7700k
Delided My 7700k
Just finished my 7700k delid, checked temperatures and now I'm at 74C Max at 4.8ghz OC. Before the delid the temps were lower, around 18C in the room. The A/C stopped today and it's now 30-33C inside, with the radiator at 33C when I tested after the delid. You think I'm nearing my pre-delid temps since my house is in the high 80s to low 90s? Also, did you think I applied too little liquid metal or was that just to ensure full coverage?
When you're at 4.8Ghz, those temperatures feel only slightly high. On the Overclockers forum, there are many discussions about this if you look up. Some users are running around 1.4v 5/5.1ghz with temperatures under 74°C.
Well if that wasn't done right, I'm sure I'd have had much hotter readings. I just know that adding too much could damage the chip and using conductive paste wouldn't be wise. As for my re-seal (silicon), I applied a thin layer of RTV around the IHS, leaving a gap on top. I'm mainly curious about how ambient temperature affects the temperatures I'll see during testing, since if I need better results even with extreme ambient conditions, I might have to re-delid.
