I7 CPU STRESS TEST PC
Hardest part was doing without the PC for the 24 hours, and even that was actually refreshing for a change. So, it looks like I gained about 15-20 degrees, pretty much in line with what was being reported in the you-tube videos and articles I saw during my research. Checked with MSI afterburner during some gaming sessions, and temps were mostly in the mid-to-high 50s (whereas they were mid-low 70s before). I ran the ROG Realbench stress test for 10 minutes, and temps hovered in the low 70s with a max of 75 (this is the one I had to stop right away before because temps were hitting the mid-90s). But I checked everything and all the BIOS settings seemed to be still correct, so I went ahead and exited and completed the startup process.Įverything seemed to start up just fine. Got a momentary scare when it threw me into BIOS on the initial boot-up, with a message saying a new CPU had been installed. I let the thing cure/set up overnight, and re-installed it this afternoon.
Process with the Rockit 88 tool was super simple, just like the videos I saw on you-tube. Well, I finally decided to go ahead and give it a try, and delidded my 7700K yesterday. I think it has to do with the fact that conductonaut is a liquid metal, not a paste, and it doesnt stick to one place.Ģ- it's the same thing, just prepackaged for convenience.
I7 CPU STRESS TEST TRIAL
With my latest settings (and new Noctua fans) I'm not having any real problem temps or fan noise issues at this point (temps staying in mid/low 70's during gaming while OC'd to 4.8), so I'm not sure if I'm gonna do it yet, but it would be nice to shave maybe 10-20 degrees off just for stability/longevity considerations.īased on your temps, I wouldn't bother delidding.ġ- It crossed my mind too but I decided not to find out by trial and error.

What do the cleaners in the Arctic Silver kit have in them other than the alcohol? (I've got the Arctic Silver paste left over from my recent new build/upgrade, but not the cleaners.)
I7 CPU STRESS TEST INSTALL
Other things I've seen have talked about using cottom swabs/isopropyl alcohol to clean off the old thermal paste (and IIRC that's what I used the last time I had to remove an old cooler and install a new one). While what you said in your steps 2 and 3 match other things I've read, I'm curious why it is that if the conductonaut is so good for use between the CPU and lid, why wouldn't you also use it between the lid and the cooler instead of the arctic silver?Ģ. Some questions though, since you've already done it:ġ. I've got all the tools and parts now and am just waiting till I work up the nerve to do this to my 7700K.
I7 CPU STRESS TEST HOW TO
The results are amazing even when you do a mediocre job at it, so anyone suffering from high temps with Intel CPUs I do encourage to try it if you have a minimal knowledge of how to install a CPU. Use the Arctic silver kit #1 liquid and your fingernails. Just in case you go for it, do not use any sharp tools around the CPU to remove the old silicone. Here are the instructions from Rockit's website. The process takes about an hour and the results are immediate. You can use Superglue instead of silicone, so this step is optional.
