Yes, I did lapped HSM inner side as per Idocare idea. All other amazing info came from IDC experience and walkthrough.

It is big risk!! What I did when I was opening mine, I use blade which was used before, so micro dents where there on blade. As I cut first 2 corners I spoted 2 places where green layer is gone and bare metal was exposed. As you can see 2 nice dents there. I was thinking to use drop of epoxy...

Hi John That is what I would like to know as well. What water cooling can do on my setup?? If it can bring another 10 down, or keep same temps but being dead silent , I would invest...

Hi Redoital, Liquid here and temps down..!!

Just put Liquid ultra on die. Another avg.5 Celsius down. 4.7 GHz, 1.296V Max temps Prime95 blend 1 hour: 58-62-65-59 Now few pics with Noctua TIM applied in less than half rice grain on die and half grain on HSM after removing...maybe it was too litle on HSM?? What you think Idontcare??

Looks amazing, thanks, only thing, it can't fit 360 radiator...

Please advice: Something like NZXT 810 to be able to put 360 radiator on top but realy silent case. At the moment I have Antec 180 with Noctua D14, and 3 very silent case fans which all together makes completely silent idle computer but still very efective cooling while under heavy load. Now, I...

Hi Redoitall My CL ultra should be here any day. Will keep posted results..

Hi Idontcare, just tested overnight, and 4.6@1.232 seems stable and cold. I got there with negative offset 0,010 and LLC extreme. Temps are 60-64-64-62 max with fans on app.70% as set in FAN expert for that temp range. Looks like proper adjustment for long run. Your idea, to have high...

For 4.8, it needs 1.376(offset mode), tested short run, 1 hour Prime blend, LinX 20 runs, but temps go to high 70 where I do not feel safe for long term run..

LMU is on it's way...but I do not hope for much lower temps if any. Talking about stability, for me, as long as I do not get BSOD during everyday work on PC, I am OK. Best test for me is Media Encoder which is crushing on me even with Prime95 being stable for hours if voltages are not high...

hi all Delidded 3770K, laped HSM inside outside to high gloss shine, laped my Noctua14 as well. TIM in and out is Noctua, used far less then half rice grain between die and HSM as surfaces are very flat. Used half grain on heatsink. Overclocked to 4.7 at 1.296V using offset and very high LLC...
