Looking for a delid tool for Ryzen 3000 chips? It seems most options are limited to Intel products. I understand why some people think the differences aren’t significant—it’s not a big deal.
No equipment exists since the components are soldered, making it unfeasible for such a situation. It’s unlikely anyone will attempt this, especially with the significant risk involved. You’d likely destroy a Ryzen 3000 CPU more often than manage to open them—tell you what I’m saying.
Ryzen has with a couple of exceptions used good solder as a thermal interface material. Die config aswell as the solder makes ot very risky to delid. And after you delid you must also remove the leftover solder. Since there hasnt been a thermal limitation for zen in general, there have been no market to sell delidding tools. Thats not to mention the very small gain of performance. From going from solder to liquid metal. If you have to delidd and is willing to risk the CPU for it. A standard delidd tool might work.
I'm trying to separate the 3900x, position liquid metal beneath a specially machined copper IHS, then place another layer of liquid metal over the CPU block. I'm considering using a typical delid tool and a heat gun to soften the solder while slowly wearing it down through repeated cycles.
I believe I spotted der8auer delid's approach, so you might want to check his technique. From what I recall, he likely depended on metal fatigue instead of heating methods. Thermal solutions with Zen 2 remain tough for those aiming to boost performance. Even at stock levels, cooling isn't easy. Still, it works well enough for the general crowd... I don’t personally see a reason to do it, but I’ve tried it on many Intel CPUs during the paste era.
I think the problem stems from the CPU's thermal density. The heat struggles to move through the silicon before reaching the transistor. It’s unclear if the physical die thickness has shifted since Zen+.
I understand, zen2’s behavior can get intense, but using a delid and liquid metal might lower the heat despite the numbers. The CPU’s performance gain will still come through, even if it feels unchanged at first. Plus, there’s always something fun to experiment with—after all, that’s why we build computers ourselves!
