I remember participating in IDontCare's De-lidding thread, and followed it here and there. Apparently Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra was a preferred replacement for the Intel TIM.
I thought I saw some disappointments about how CLU cured, how it appeared after a month or two.
Obviously, there had been a prevailing argument against using nano-diamond.
So it seemed the CLU was the preferred solution to putting the IHS back on the processor die.
If anyone did it on their own, was there ever a deterioration in the effectiveness of the CLU? Or is its application essentially permanent until you attempt to de-lid the processor which was de-lidded to put the CLU there in the first place?
I'm thinking to buy my chip from Silicon Lottery and even pay them to do the de-lidding and TIM application of CLU.
I have big plans, and plenty of time to pull the string on Checkouts.
