WEBVTT

00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:07.279
last time we tried d-lidding the process

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:09.920
of removing the heat spreader from a CPU

00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:14.639
we decided that it wasn't really worth the effort

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:16.640
the voided warranty on a brand new 300

00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:19.520
processor or the risk

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:24.800
but it has since come to our attention that

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:29.439
while x-acto knives are a fun if a little dangerous tool for

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:33.760
de-litting there is a much better way to go about it

00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:41.520
so then with the der bauer d-lidding tools in

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:43.280
hand for both lga 1151 and

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:48.320
2066 that's right my friends we're gonna get

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:52.160
naked with a core i9

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:54.840
we're going to re-evaluate d-litting

00:00:52.160 --> 00:01:03.120
should you do it

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:10.880
synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:15.840
at once check it out now at the link in the video description

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:20.960
now both of Intel's current platforms are

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.159
notorious for running pretty uh

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:27.280
hot with many enthusiasts pointing to

00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:31.680
Intel's use of a paste rather than solder based thermal

00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:37.119
interface material between the heat producing dye and the protective heat

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:41.280
spreader over top of it so

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:44.399
let's take a look at our tools

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:46.000
this guy right here is

00:01:44.399 --> 00:01:49.119
oh man it's gonna be such comment fodder okay

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:53.680
so this is the derbauer d-lid mate 2. the tool

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.320
itself actually pretty straightforward it's two

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.439
metal pieces here and a hex wrench

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:05.439
so the CPU sits in the grooves here with the arrow

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:10.959
pointing to wait a minute Anthony did you delid this already

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:17.200
yes the ihs isn't on right

00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:20.400
it's uh it's 90 degrees off okay

00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:24.720
well you know what that's okay because this is a good opportunity

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

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:33.040
it back on properly pretty much you slide this second piece

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:37.680
in here you tighten up this screw as much as you

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:40.959
can by hand you throw in the hex wrench and

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:44.560
bippity boppity boop

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:50.560
that's all there is to it the hex crew pulls against the ihs with mechanical

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:53.360
force causing its silicone seal to break

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:58.480
and you have got yourself a d-lidded CPU

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:02.640
then we just need to scrape off the silicone

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.440
clean that baby up and oh look how shiny

00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:11.280
it is okay now you could technically run a CPU like

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:15.280
this with the cooler straight on the die but with modern Intel processors it's

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:19.519
impractical for a couple of reasons not the least of which is that in order to

00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:23.280
get good contact between your cooler and the CPU you have to remove the retention

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

00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:32.560
so what most people are doing is they're

00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:36.400
taking their d-lidded processor they're using a higher quality thermal compound

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:41.200
so we'll be using thermal grizzly also provided by derbauer and they're pretty

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:43.680
much gluing that sucker back together so we're just going to take

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:49.040
some pretty generic silicone junk here that

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:53.519
we pulled out of a tube in our caulking gun we put it in a

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

00:03:55.040 --> 00:04:01.760
this but whatever you guys get the point okay so that's on there

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:04.319
we take just a little bit of thermal compound

00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:13.599
then we take our CPU we put it back in the delidding tool aligning the triangle

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:19.120
with the triangle not triangle with the dot and

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:23.919
we take our ihs and we put that on aligning the dot with

00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:27.880
the dot bippity boppity

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

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:41.360
here and you take the included

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:43.600
little turny screwy grippy doodad here

00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:46.479
you tighten this baby down right on the center

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:52.720
there we go and then leave it for about half an hour

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:57.120
to harden back on anyway though d-litting the 7700k that's been done to

00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:02.880
death that's the boring one good thing Anthony

00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:07.039
already has the performance numbers that demonstrate that as long as you're

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:11.360
willing to give up your warranty this

00:05:08.320 --> 00:05:13.120
safer way of de-litting is a fantastic

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:17.680
way to significantly drop your CPU temperatures which is obviously

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:20.400
a good thing wait

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:25.280
how did he get performance numbers on this if the ihs was on the wrong way

00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:28.400
you know what forget it i don't even want to know because the main event

00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:35.600
today is the prototype

00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:38.720
der bauer d-lidding tool for x-299

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:42.000
this one works a little differently

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:45.520
using the force from this lever right

00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:48.800
here to push the ihs but the whole thing

00:05:45.520 --> 00:05:51.520
is still powered by a hex screw with one

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:56.800
of these included allen wrenches so we're going to be delitting the core

00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:59.919
i9 7900x

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:02.080
because we like to live dangerously get

00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:04.560
on in here dennis come on get a look at this man

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:08.720
so we put the CPU in

00:06:06.479 --> 00:06:12.400
aligning the triangle right there with the triangle right there so that's all

00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:15.039
pretty straightforward so far it sits in there nice and snug

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:19.680
all right then in theory and i haven't read the

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:24.960
instructions we just do this look at this thing look

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

00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:34.560
pushes this thing which in turn pushes this thing like

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:38.960
so over engineered i love everything about it

00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:38.960
okay it's getting tight now

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:46.199
i'm getting tense oh it's getting really tight now

00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:53.440
okay oh man that's a lot of pressure

00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:58.720
this is legitimately getting really hard to push oh

00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:04.160
okay this is this is tense oh my goodness

00:07:00.960 --> 00:07:06.160
i think it's off okay i think it's off

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:11.120
okay thousand dollar processor kids

00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:13.759
ladies and gentlemen thousand dollar

00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:21.160
chip oh oh wow

00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:27.280
oh there it goes holy crap

00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:34.560
look at the way that thing is assembled it's got silicone sealant up the butt

00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:39.199
okay oh baby

00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:44.000
hopefully this thing still works oh i need my alcohol

00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:47.280
this kind so

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:51.039
same basic procedure let's clean her up

00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:55.759
he's shiny baby shiny

00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:57.919
now apply our silicone again

00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:01.250
apply our thermal grizzly again this time using the handy dandy applicator

00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.680
end

00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:12.479
um i'm trying to oh oh lordy oh lordy oh this is bad

00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:16.560
oh that's way too much thermal compound is awful it is awful okay

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:23.599
that's it i'm never going to be a professional thermal compound applier

00:08:21.520 --> 00:08:29.120
oh really this time get this it's dot to triangle

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

00:08:33.760 --> 00:08:38.240
this time so we're just gonna have to yolo it

00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:42.320
then we throw the whole thing back in the

00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:46.720
deleting tool and we clamp her down

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:50.959
that's right giving her the clamps baby it should be fine

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:54.240
everything's fine moment of truth time my friends

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:57.600
let's get this installed in the socket here

00:08:55.360 --> 00:09:01.040
so again triangle the triangle hopefully that orientation works just fine for us

00:08:59.839 --> 00:09:07.360
here cooler time here we'll just be using ic

00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:10.640
diamond let's throw this baby on here

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:12.550
where my thumb screws be at beaches

00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:13.920
is it going to post or what

00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:18.800
it just posted it did oh yeah

00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:23.680
okay so the CPU still works that's good so

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:27.200
now all we got to do is throw our overclock profile on

00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.920
and then we can do some temp results for you guys

00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:37.360
uh what just happened well that's not good

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:42.640
this is better than it was really yeah it was 105.

00:09:42.640 --> 00:09:47.839
oh no um okay

00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:51.440
i mean it's hitting that again but not immediately like it did before okay so

00:09:49.760 --> 00:09:54.959
we just need to wait 10 minutes for our final result here

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

00:09:56.959 --> 00:10:01.920
managed a 17 degree delta at 4.8

00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:06.640
gigahertz allowing it to run at that speed for half an hour for a stress test

00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:10.959
with no throttling whatsoever cool as for our core i9 well

00:10:08.959 --> 00:10:15.600
it looks like our overclock wasn't 100 stable our system actually crashed but

00:10:12.959 --> 00:10:19.680
the good news is that while we were still running at super high temperatures

00:10:18.160 --> 00:10:23.360
come on in here we actually thermal throttled

00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:28.240
less than we did for our first run-through

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:34.640
before d-lidding okay so it's actually a few days later

00:10:31.760 --> 00:10:41.760
and what we saw with our overclocked result turned out to surprisingly be a

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:44.079
result of the better cooling performance

00:10:41.760 --> 00:10:50.320
even though the temperatures weren't that different so if we look at the

00:10:46.079 --> 00:10:52.720
graphs our Intel tim overclock test was

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:58.160
tripping thermal protection despite a very modest voltage bump of only 10

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

00:11:00.880 --> 00:11:07.279
in task manager and also in the reported temps

00:11:04.560 --> 00:11:12.640
with thermal grizzly conduct-a-knot it actually stabilized and then that was

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:17.920
what revealed that our overclocked frequency wasn't stable

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

00:11:19.839 --> 00:11:26.320
revert to comparing our stock cooling performance

00:11:23.680 --> 00:11:33.279
and wouldn't you know it we actually got 20 degrees lower on the maximum reported

00:11:29.920 --> 00:11:35.200
temperatures after delitting 20 degrees

00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:39.519
so it's crystal clear then that Intel stock tim is basically toothpaste by

00:11:37.760 --> 00:11:43.440
comparison but should you void the warranty on your

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

00:11:45.839 --> 00:11:52.160
nothing of the mess of the silicone adhesive

00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:55.920
that's a solid no i think for most people but

00:11:53.760 --> 00:11:59.600
if you're looking to squeeze every last bit of performance out of your new

00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:03.839
workstation and you don't mind the risks involved

00:12:00.560 --> 00:12:05.680
well there are definitely gains to be

00:12:03.839 --> 00:12:10.079
had big thanks to synergy for sponsoring

00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:15.360
today's video synergy is the software download that solves a hardware problem

00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:19.760
having two keyboards and two mice or heaven forbid three keyboards and three

00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:23.279
mice for all the different computers that you're running at your battle

00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:29.760
station you'll never have to confuse which one goes with which and it is

00:12:26.079 --> 00:12:31.920
perfect for developers or gamers who

00:12:29.760 --> 00:12:38.800
also like to use a mac for productivity because it is cross-platform Windows mac

00:12:35.680 --> 00:12:41.360
and Linux you just share your keyboard

00:12:38.800 --> 00:12:45.839
and mouse across multiple computers just moving the mouse between the screens

00:12:43.040 --> 00:12:50.079
seamlessly it even has features like dragging and dropping files between the

00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:55.839
computers the ability to set up hotkeys and more so use our link in the video
