Removal of the roof increased temperatures.
Removal of the roof increased temperatures.
I removed the 8700k and applied LM to the die. The results were positive – +10C on idle compared to before and 6118 on Cinebench R23.2 multicore, which is better than expected. I experimented with the thinnest layer possible, a bit more than usual, and they all produced similar outcomes. I made sure the cooler contact wasn’t the problem and am now unsure about the next steps. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Yes, you applied LM on both the CPU die and within the IHS to improve bonding contact.
You're asking why the IHS is still being used. Let me clarify that for you.
Residing in a developing nation limits my access to copper, and I'm hesitant about handling direct dies.
It’s about ensuring accuracy despite adjustments for z-height. Even with IHS usage, the process remains valuable.
