To monoblock or not to monoblock?

[LiveOrDie]

I've picked up a cheap Omega board so ill be moving away from the mono block to a EK Velocity once the IHS comes.

Ok thanks

Tell us the difference between IHS Nickel of Rockit and that of Ebay

Temps are way better the ebay IHS is lapped when the Rockit isn't also this IHS has better temps than the copper one I had, but take note I sanded my die down flat it really helped my higher temp cores, also temp would be lower if TJ was 105c like it use to be. Also I'm not sure they will make more of this IHS it was limited edition.

Temps in yellow you can see how most temps are close to the copper rockit IHS but some are a lot lower due to sanding, but overall the ebay IHS is on par with the copper version not rockit's crappy nickel plated one.

Thanks so much for your feedback

IHS Nickel of Ebay is equal to IHS Copper of Rockit therefore, between 1 and 3° earned approximately (without sanding)
You've sanded the DIE of CPU, right ?

Yeah so the ebay nickel plated preformed on most 1c hotter than the copper rockit cool IHS, the gray temps are the nickel plated rockit IHS which is just poor in performance overall, yes die is sanded so surface is flat, for LM the ebay nickel IHS is the one to buy.

Ok thanks

I would not sand the DIE (too scared)
I'm going to keep the Rockit IHS, without sanding, I do not have much to gain

Only sand if you feel like your able to do it without killing your CPU, for my CPU it really needed it plus i got this CPU 2nd hand so was only half what you would of paid.
