High-frequency tuning at 8700k clock speed
Make it yourself. Check out some videos. It’s quite simple. You won’t have to rely on liquid metal.
It really depends on the specs; 4.9GHz is sufficient. A 100-200MHz gap won’t stand out much. I understand the feeling, though—psychologically it seems like a big jump, but it’s not that significant. We’re only talking about a few percent improvement at most.
Don't worry, you can find a tool and follow some guides to do it. I watched a tutorial on eBay for just five bucks. I didn’t reattach anything permanently—just used the clamping feature in the board’s locking system. It was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but once it was done, I felt relieved and even laughed about how simple it was.
