Silver 7700K IHS Prototype Testing

This, I don't know 100%... but I do know that nickel has a thermal conductivity of 90w/mk compared to silver which is 407w/mk. Intel put a very thin layer of nickel on their heat spreaders and BitsPower put a lot more nickel on as if they were coating cookies in chocolate. The nickel is only ment to be there for a protective barrier to stop tarnishing. I think it "may" effect thermal conductivity performance (as I have no fair tested this). But i think it's a similar scenario to having cleaning oils on copper heat sinks. I know this effects thermal conductivity on the long run, as I have tested this on my prep work of the P870KM. I always look at thermal prep work as a work of art my friend

 

Yes but even then it's still pretty thin, an engineer would say a negligible difference considering the chain we are looking at. Ideal perhaps not but if you gain elsewhere (like having it taller when needed) it will not matter.

 

I understand you in some way. Thank you for sharing your thoughts..
By the way I have just beaten your score on Time Spy benchmark (Stock Clevo BIOS):

It's kind of a good achievement beaten a guy in your calibre
There is only a few winners above me on Time Spy. I just need to see master Bloodhawk, professor Fox, "He holds all the power" Johnksss and prophet Prema now. That's if there is a finished Prema BIOS for the P870KM1-G

 

Where's the factory located for fujipoly stuff?

 

I think it's japan but I'm not sure


Or the parent / r&d is japan but the manufacturer is in china

 

Looking at their website suggests they have manufacturing in various places.

 

I read your entire thread and just had to comment, so here I am. I am very interested in your work, would there ever be an option for a a ryzen part? Im assuming that they are to have a longer shelf life interns of design considering they are sticking with it until 2020 I would also think that given the simple design if the pga mounting system that the IHS would be more of a CNCed block rather than a something that has to fit with in a constraining mounting system. If this is an initial venture I would propose that you take your concept make a proof of concept with an arguably simpler design and then get units moving as a boutique seller of high end pc goods that are engineered with a no-compromise aesthetic. The only caveat I can think of for ryzen is their soldered lids which could possibly deter many from opting for this form of delidding. I'm just spilling thoughts at this point, I look forward to seeing your product and keep up the good work
