Help with 7700K temperatures

[Krabs.]

skylake recommended safe temperature for overclock is don't exceed 80 d celcius
kabylake I dunno


you can try to help the exhaust fans by cutting the hexagonal or tic-tac-toe grill away if you casing have it
those grills restrict about 30% airflow ..... example your fan 60 CFM become ~40cfm

Hi, any suggestions to solve this? I just tried reapplying thermal paste and temperatures actually rose by a few degrees which seems to show that thermal paste was not the issue.

I am just saying it's a possibility that your case could be similar to mine. For my case, I had to change the entire H100i as the temperature sensor was faulty. I can't tell for sure if you are in the same situation but it could be possible.

I don't OC, have speedshift enabled, running balanced mode in win10. All default.

Temps idle - 37c
Tempa on load - 55-62c (3dmark stress)

TS, where is your CPU temperature readings taken from?

Hi, using HWInfo64 to measure my CPU temperatures.

Hihi, will look into it and see if it works fine for the temperatures. Thanks for the help!

Hi, I have a magnetic dust filter at the top of my casing grill, do you think it would affect the heat from leaving my case?

Hi, thanks for the info. Will use this as reference if any further temperature issues show up.

Delid the cpu if you want the best temps. I help a Bro to delid his 7700k and his load temps drop 28degs on stress test. Pm me if you wish to delid the cpu.

exhaust no need filter .....

no airflow vents then no issue .... I put clear plastic over vent and sticky 4 corners with small fridge magnet
heat won't be "trapped" easily as the air is turbulent inside ... it won't "hot air rise, cold air sink" that easily

Hi, will consider and let you know again. Thanks for the help!

Hi, so means that the magnetic dust filter put or dont put also not much difference for the cpu temps?

I think if you read reviews and discussions around, an overclocked Kaby Lake don't run cool mainly because of the poor conduction of heat from the actual chip to the heat spread. Therefore, there are many topics about delidding the heatspread and the results are very obvious. In sunny Singapore, this likely compounded to the higher temps, which is why the chip still runs toasty with water cooling since the ambient temp is higher.

now very gian to try and delid after watching a few delidding videos

Done before rockit88 cnc tool method (not 3d printed tool + vice or DE Razor).

Videos make it seem easier than thought. But after the first attempt, it will be very simple. Otherwise, a word of caution would be during the allen key twisting, don't "rambo" and keep adding force. Cause with sudden silicone adhesive breakage, you will flick the IHS against the clearance area of the tool. This is unlikely to be a catastrophic mistake for Skylake/Kabylake, but may cost you a Haswell chip.

Right way is apply gradual force, hold and pause while grabbing the allen key firmly, repeat till the tension stops.

Spoiler

Clearance/movement space for the "hammer"

I think for Haswell, at least this revision of rockit should be used with caution since the "clearance" area is too forgiving. If force is applied in one shot, there is a high chance the IHS flicking may smash the surface resistors/caps of on the chip. It probably should be less than half the clearance length pictured.

And before anyone asks, I no longer have the tool.

did u get clp or clu? texture looks really diff when i did mine

And before anyone asks, I no longer have the tool.

myself wonder if next yr or 3, i'd need to reapply or not. not as confident as u...

CLU, this was the first attempt I did where the liquid metal was too thin with heat transfer issues from poor contact
(insta BSOD on prime95 blend).

Second attempt was the same, except that I added a mild running droplet to both the IHS and CPU die, and the finish was done with the relid tool pressure so the droplets meet.

As long as I don't take the chip out of the socket should be fine?

wah advanced method - skillful
fingers crossed tat they'll last

 

[Encrypted11]

I did that in case it runs (low viscosity), maybe seep into the socket and blow up the PC.
So there's no skill, it just happened incidentally.
Yup, I think it should last as long as the chip is in socket.

 

[superzheny]

Lol you guys are suggesting to someone who asks if it's safe to use alcohol swabs to clean thermal paste to delid his cpu?

I will say do not do that because you do not know what you are doing.

Always under promise. If you overachieve, good for you.

Wah bro you sold it already ah

i delided 2 x 7700K cpus for HWZ bros here
Both cpu drop more than 25degs under full load stress test.
Super impressive.
