1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,279
last time we tried d-lidding the process

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:09,920
of removing the heat spreader from a CPU

3
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:14,639
we decided that it wasn't really worth the effort

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:16,640
the voided warranty on a brand new 300

5
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:19,520
processor or the risk

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,800
but it has since come to our attention that

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:29,439
while x-acto knives are a fun if a little dangerous tool for

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:33,760
de-litting there is a much better way to go about it

9
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:41,520
so then with the der bauer d-lidding tools in

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:43,280
hand for both lga 1151 and

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:48,320
2066 that's right my friends we're gonna get

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:52,160
naked with a core i9

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:54,840
we're going to re-evaluate d-litting

14
00:00:52,160 --> 00:01:03,120
should you do it

15
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:10,880
synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers

16
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:15,840
at once check it out now at the link in the video description

17
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:20,960
now both of Intel's current platforms are

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:22,159
notorious for running pretty uh

19
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:27,280
hot with many enthusiasts pointing to

20
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:31,680
Intel's use of a paste rather than solder based thermal

21
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:37,119
interface material between the heat producing dye and the protective heat

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:41,280
spreader over top of it so

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,399
let's take a look at our tools

24
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:46,000
this guy right here is

25
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:49,119
oh man it's gonna be such comment fodder okay

26
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:53,680
so this is the derbauer d-lid mate 2. the tool

27
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,320
itself actually pretty straightforward it's two

28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,439
metal pieces here and a hex wrench

29
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:05,439
so the CPU sits in the grooves here with the arrow

30
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:10,959
pointing to wait a minute Anthony did you delid this already

31
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:17,200
yes the ihs isn't on right

32
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:20,400
it's uh it's 90 degrees off okay

33
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:24,720
well you know what that's okay because this is a good opportunity

34
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:28,959
to show you guys how it works so i'm going to de-lit it again so we can put

35
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:33,040
it back on properly pretty much you slide this second piece

36
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,680
in here you tighten up this screw as much as you

37
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:40,959
can by hand you throw in the hex wrench and

38
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,560
bippity boppity boop

39
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:50,560
that's all there is to it the hex crew pulls against the ihs with mechanical

40
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:53,360
force causing its silicone seal to break

41
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:58,480
and you have got yourself a d-lidded CPU

42
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:02,640
then we just need to scrape off the silicone

43
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:05,440
clean that baby up and oh look how shiny

44
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:11,280
it is okay now you could technically run a CPU like

45
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:15,280
this with the cooler straight on the die but with modern Intel processors it's

46
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,519
impractical for a couple of reasons not the least of which is that in order to

47
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,280
get good contact between your cooler and the CPU you have to remove the retention

48
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,760
mechanism meaning there's no easy way to keep the CPU in the socket etc etc etc

49
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:32,560
so what most people are doing is they're

50
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:36,400
taking their d-lidded processor they're using a higher quality thermal compound

51
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:41,200
so we'll be using thermal grizzly also provided by derbauer and they're pretty

52
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,680
much gluing that sucker back together so we're just going to take

53
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:49,040
some pretty generic silicone junk here that

54
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:53,519
we pulled out of a tube in our caulking gun we put it in a

55
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:57,200
syringe and we're just gonna kind of yeah i'm not doing a very nice job of

56
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:01,760
this but whatever you guys get the point okay so that's on there

57
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:04,319
we take just a little bit of thermal compound

58
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:13,599
then we take our CPU we put it back in the delidding tool aligning the triangle

59
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:19,120
with the triangle not triangle with the dot and

60
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:23,919
we take our ihs and we put that on aligning the dot with

61
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,880
the dot bippity boppity

62
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:35,680
all right then to make sure that our ihs is aligned correctly we jam this baby in

63
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:41,360
here and you take the included

64
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:43,600
little turny screwy grippy doodad here

65
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,479
you tighten this baby down right on the center

66
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:52,720
there we go and then leave it for about half an hour

67
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:57,120
to harden back on anyway though d-litting the 7700k that's been done to

68
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,880
death that's the boring one good thing Anthony

69
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:07,039
already has the performance numbers that demonstrate that as long as you're

70
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:11,360
willing to give up your warranty this

71
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,120
safer way of de-litting is a fantastic

72
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:17,680
way to significantly drop your CPU temperatures which is obviously

73
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,400
a good thing wait

74
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:25,280
how did he get performance numbers on this if the ihs was on the wrong way

75
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:28,400
you know what forget it i don't even want to know because the main event

76
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:35,600
today is the prototype

77
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:38,720
der bauer d-lidding tool for x-299

78
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:42,000
this one works a little differently

79
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:45,520
using the force from this lever right

80
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,800
here to push the ihs but the whole thing

81
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:51,520
is still powered by a hex screw with one

82
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:56,800
of these included allen wrenches so we're going to be delitting the core

83
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:59,919
i9 7900x

84
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,080
because we like to live dangerously get

85
00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:04,560
on in here dennis come on get a look at this man

86
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:08,720
so we put the CPU in

87
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:12,400
aligning the triangle right there with the triangle right there so that's all

88
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,039
pretty straightforward so far it sits in there nice and snug

89
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,680
all right then in theory and i haven't read the

90
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,960
instructions we just do this look at this thing look

91
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:30,000
at how like over the thing is so german you'll turn this thing and then it

92
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:34,560
pushes this thing which in turn pushes this thing like

93
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,960
so over engineered i love everything about it

94
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,960
okay it's getting tight now

95
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:46,199
i'm getting tense oh it's getting really tight now

96
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:53,440
okay oh man that's a lot of pressure

97
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:58,720
this is legitimately getting really hard to push oh

98
00:06:55,759 --> 00:07:04,160
okay this is this is tense oh my goodness

99
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,160
i think it's off okay i think it's off

100
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:11,120
okay thousand dollar processor kids

101
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:13,759
ladies and gentlemen thousand dollar

102
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:21,160
chip oh oh wow

103
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:27,280
oh there it goes holy crap

104
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:34,560
look at the way that thing is assembled it's got silicone sealant up the butt

105
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:39,199
okay oh baby

106
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:44,000
hopefully this thing still works oh i need my alcohol

107
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,280
this kind so

108
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,039
same basic procedure let's clean her up

109
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:55,759
he's shiny baby shiny

110
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,919
now apply our silicone again

111
00:07:55,759 --> 00:08:01,250
apply our thermal grizzly again this time using the handy dandy applicator

112
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,680
end

113
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:12,479
um i'm trying to oh oh lordy oh lordy oh this is bad

114
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:16,560
oh that's way too much thermal compound is awful it is awful okay

115
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:23,599
that's it i'm never going to be a professional thermal compound applier

116
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:29,120
oh really this time get this it's dot to triangle

117
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:35,279
so we go ahead and put that baby on there we do not have an alignment tool

118
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,240
this time so we're just gonna have to yolo it

119
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:42,320
then we throw the whole thing back in the

120
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:46,720
deleting tool and we clamp her down

121
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:50,959
that's right giving her the clamps baby it should be fine

122
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:54,240
everything's fine moment of truth time my friends

123
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,600
let's get this installed in the socket here

124
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:01,040
so again triangle the triangle hopefully that orientation works just fine for us

125
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:07,360
here cooler time here we'll just be using ic

126
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:10,640
diamond let's throw this baby on here

127
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:12,550
where my thumb screws be at beaches

128
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,920
is it going to post or what

129
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,800
it just posted it did oh yeah

130
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:23,680
okay so the CPU still works that's good so

131
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,200
now all we got to do is throw our overclock profile on

132
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,920
and then we can do some temp results for you guys

133
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:37,360
uh what just happened well that's not good

134
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:42,640
this is better than it was really yeah it was 105.

135
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,839
oh no um okay

136
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,440
i mean it's hitting that again but not immediately like it did before okay so

137
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,959
we just need to wait 10 minutes for our final result here

138
00:09:53,120 --> 00:10:00,320
so here we are and we can actually kind of wrap things up here our core i7

139
00:09:56,959 --> 00:10:01,920
managed a 17 degree delta at 4.8

140
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:06,640
gigahertz allowing it to run at that speed for half an hour for a stress test

141
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:10,959
with no throttling whatsoever cool as for our core i9 well

142
00:10:08,959 --> 00:10:15,600
it looks like our overclock wasn't 100 stable our system actually crashed but

143
00:10:12,959 --> 00:10:19,680
the good news is that while we were still running at super high temperatures

144
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,360
come on in here we actually thermal throttled

145
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:28,240
less than we did for our first run-through

146
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:34,640
before d-lidding okay so it's actually a few days later

147
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:41,760
and what we saw with our overclocked result turned out to surprisingly be a

148
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,079
result of the better cooling performance

149
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:50,320
even though the temperatures weren't that different so if we look at the

150
00:10:46,079 --> 00:10:52,720
graphs our Intel tim overclock test was

151
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:58,160
tripping thermal protection despite a very modest voltage bump of only 10

152
00:10:55,279 --> 00:11:03,440
millivolts so you can actually see it as it drops in the CPU load that's reported

153
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:07,279
in task manager and also in the reported temps

154
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:12,640
with thermal grizzly conduct-a-knot it actually stabilized and then that was

155
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:17,920
what revealed that our overclocked frequency wasn't stable

156
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:22,399
so since we can't put a number on that type of improvement what we'll do is

157
00:11:19,839 --> 00:11:26,320
revert to comparing our stock cooling performance

158
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:33,279
and wouldn't you know it we actually got 20 degrees lower on the maximum reported

159
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:35,200
temperatures after delitting 20 degrees

160
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:39,519
so it's crystal clear then that Intel stock tim is basically toothpaste by

161
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:43,440
comparison but should you void the warranty on your

162
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:48,000
brand new thousand dollar CPU well given that this tool isn't even out yet to say

163
00:11:45,839 --> 00:11:52,160
nothing of the mess of the silicone adhesive

164
00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:55,920
that's a solid no i think for most people but

165
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:59,600
if you're looking to squeeze every last bit of performance out of your new

166
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:03,839
workstation and you don't mind the risks involved

167
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:05,680
well there are definitely gains to be

168
00:12:03,839 --> 00:12:10,079
had big thanks to synergy for sponsoring

169
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:15,360
today's video synergy is the software download that solves a hardware problem

170
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:19,760
having two keyboards and two mice or heaven forbid three keyboards and three

171
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:23,279
mice for all the different computers that you're running at your battle

172
