Lapping and De-lidding are both great things to do, to further reduce temps...but they both come with one major drawback....you lose all rights to claim an RMA when the CPU's die. Of course regardless of where you read about doing either you have to remember one thing, just like with OCing any of your hardware and that is, your results may vary from what you have read/watched. Some people can get as much as a 10 Deg C drop from lapping, though I am not so sure on how far De-lidding takes the drops...yet. If you look in the Build logs Forum, Modder L3p has posted in his logs how he laps his CPU's...hell there is even a Lapping kit which can be bought online from Highflow.nl as for other places, I do not know.

Myk, in my case drop of temps was around 25 - 30 degrees, meaning that with my cooler, which was and still is, a Noctua NH-D14, I couldn't go higher than 4.4 -4.5 Ghz. Now, about RMA and lapping... If someone had delidded his CPU and try to RMA, is like to try to RMA an opened can of beans, after he has eaten the beans. It can be done only by cheating, meaning to replace back the black silicon rubber gasket and pretend he has no idea what happened

Nice run Noob

Way to go

Thanks, might try later when its cooler as its hot here again

FX-GMC ... good one. Welcome to ROG and AMDside.c.

[flexnl]

really dont understand how it is, that other 3770ks run so much cooler the me... like meankeys or even nikosa on air (no offence
i run 1.58v and heat goes up to 103-104 C...They run 1.6 and go 70C HUHHHH ...and they are running 1000mhz more 2...anyone can help clear this up 4 me ? or is it just that my chip sucks ass?

meankeys..nice run 828...was that with that aquarium thingy i read about? or just normal ?

Dellidded and lapped chips is the no1 difference. Less distance between die and cooler block makes huge difference. Delidding and lapping would drop you to at least 80C which is inline with what Nikos is getting on air. Then it's the actual chip bins that matter..

[flexnl]

my chip is delidded
:P

my chip is delidded

Hi Flex
I feel your pain. It's all about the cooling. What is your current cooling setup?. I am using 3 360 rads and fans. That alone keeps me under 90c at 100 % load @ 1.685v @ 5150MHz. If I ice up the cool can I get about 1 hour of testing in the 70c @ 1.725v (currently shooting for 5200 MHz) I would try re-seating your cooler and cpu. A bad mount will defiantly cause higher temps. I am currently building a rad mount and will be breaking down my setup to install the rads. I plan on trying coolabs liquid ultra under my cooler block as Nik suggested. I am hoping to drop a degree or 2. Be carefully as to what bios settings you use as not only voltage but some control the current applied to the cpu this also contributes to the heat. I know it frustrating man but that's what benching is all about brother hang in there.

[flexnl]

yeah i have only 2x 240 rads 1 for cpu and 1 for gpu and coollab on die and on lid..and its not the reseating tried that about..hmmm 100 times haha but tnks for response
it would really be frustrating if i couldnt keep up with the points.. but that i can, strangely enough and i think i still can push to 850 maybe more

[flexnl]

o yeah 1 more thing meankeys.. what was your ambient temp with your last submission?
