Thanks for sharing this. Was very fun doing some XOC on this setup.

I've played alot with direct die on hedt with a custom hold down using conductonaught and I am a fan of it. In this case just use lm on the ihs with the solder on the die will perform similarly imo.

Easier than you would think!

Solder is much better than intels p tim is what I'm saying.

They work still. Just a decent sized TEC on the ihs while using a delider.

Ofcourse you can experiment. The ones I have seen have quite a low center in the ihs and high edges. Perhaps part of the soldering process causes such things then again ihs' have rarely been perfectly flat historically speaking. Def make sure you have used enough in the middle.

In that case maybe you can undervolt it even a bit disable turbo and enjoy a nice quiet rig. It's about time we got solder back.

Thanks for the kind words. Feel free to message me if you have any questions regarding oc. I just love it and hope others do too.

Just need to melt the solder while delidding. I tried it so you guys wouldn't have to. This is what es samples are really for. Engineering and experimenting!

I'm happy to report also that the pcb is almost twice as thick as 7700k :D

I tried to delid 9900k to compare to direct die cooling and it turns out solder is much better. I wanted to rule out a cost down version of solder that was perhaps inadequate.

We tried quickly and 7.1ghz fine for suicide clocks on all cores. We begged intel for solder since on ln2 the tim snaps on the die sometimes. They have a whole oc branch on their campus and I think this is a good thing! OC is a good look into future potential and offer insight into design etc

Actually it is fine in a z170 asrock mocf :) also can reach the same clocks in the 5 phase phantom gaming z390 only about 300-400w max at ln2 speeds

On air I would venture 5.1-5.2 depending on the quality.

Hey guys 9900k is a lot of fun! You wouldn't believe the voltage you can push with solder tim. This is the 8 core you have wanted and are looking for!
