Better? Magician number 3 = @bloodhawk !! No sarcasm!

 

Haha, im just kidding sir.

Im no where close to you guys. I just get lucky sometimes.

 

It would help to know what everything does (even I don't know what some of the stuff is for) and it would be easier to figure things out if every OEM used the same nomenclature. Seems like three OEMs call the same thing three different things about half the time, so searching the web often yields nothing... not even a good description a lot of the time. And, sometimes the information you do find is not even close to being accurate or it is written based on one man's experiences with specific hardware and may not apply to everyone. Even with precise and accurate information results varies widely by CPU and/or GPU because the bin quality on them is all over the board. My system will not even boot Windows using the same BIOS settings as @Papusan... even after clean installs and no software installed it just blue screens. So did the Eurocom Sky X9 test unit. You have use about 40% knowledge and 60% trial and error to find the limits of your hardware, and that can be very time consuming.

 

Yeah, the main thing im concerned about right now, is getting the voltage stabilized. really struggling with that even in static mode.

 

I kept on with overclocking several years ago(phase cooling). But then it became full stop due to my family and money and my <good> English. I allow it to forget in a drawer. Regained the interest for about 3-4 years ago. This thanks to @Mr. Fox and some other in the nice forum who accepted me + I'm not so worried about people bully my English language anymore. I was ashamed for my bad English and meant self it was best I watch you all instead. So Thanks to all of you.

 

No, Thank you Brother ( @Mr. Fox) Fox! For putting up with me and my antics with this over clocking.

 

I have a friend who can run his 6700k at 5.1ghz. He values absolute silence though, so I think he undervolt it at stock. it was on a ROG board with WC.

 

Any idea what paste i can use to "glue" my cpu back after delidding it. I was thinking of glueing it back together so that there will be 0% chance the clu inside goes out. Also ill be getting my system before the month ends. I think what caused 1 pin to bend was after i applied clu inside i did not bother to clean the glue residue and when i locked/mounted it back the ihs was not flush with the green board. Anyway lesson learned. Wont be opening my system anytime soon when i get it back. Also just came back from the majors and the event was sick

 

Part of the benefit of deliding (with the removal of the glue on the ihs and pcb) is to have the ihs closer to the die. You want this because CLU is really thin. If you "restore" the cpu to it´s initial condition - glue the ihs to the pcb - you´re increasing again the gap between the ihs and die (it´s a fraction of a mm but it has its effect), thus having to apply a thicker layer of CLU. You don´t want this as the diminished contact/pressure between ihs and die might allow the thicker layer of CLU you would have to apply to spread out.

 

PGL Nailed it man. Beautipul DOTO!

Best Major yet!

 

Tbh i had a hard time applying clu on my cpu. I placed alot of it on my first try. I found out when i opened it back up the clu covered the die but some if it went over it so i had to clean it and then close it and then opened it back up and it still went over the die and then cleaned it and then finally the amount was perfect. Its so hard to spread maybe i need to heat it up before i use it?

Best cosplay ever too! Did you see the tinker and clockwerk? Lol. Finals was not as exciting though imo was rooting for a team like navi secret or eg to get in bec they are fan favorites. The seats were empty during the lgd mvp phx game when navi had a meet and greet/fan signing lol thats how much people like them here.

 

That was the problem, you gotta start with a tiny amount and spread around gently and evenly. Like massaging your SO with good oil, too much and it will ruin things.

Hell yeah, that Clockwerk and Doom.

At least, now the The Internationals Open Qualifiers will be interesting as hell, with Secret and EG not getting invites

 

Also, remember to paint both surfaces or it wont make proper contact. Whatever is left on the brush after painting CLU on the die should be enough to paint the ihs.

 

Its so hard to spread it with the brush on just a tiny area and if i did try to spin the brush i would go over the die. I initslly thought i ruined the cpu bec some went over the die but it didnt ruin it. I am guessing its ok if it goes over the die right?

I failed to do this but will do this when i get my system back. Ill ask them to do it for me maybe thats if they can do it for me. I am kinds hesitant to open it bec the mistake i made was really costly at 300+ usd lol

 

Usually no, because there are contact pads around. Always best to keep it within the die perimeter.

One way of being safe is to use clear nail polish to cover all contact pads around the die.

btw. Do you have a GF? If Yes, ask her to let you apply nail polish. You will be a CLU expert in no time

 

In fact i do! Going 9 years on november. Havent done it though but it looks easy. I thought it would be easy but clu is hard to apply bec the tiny amount i placed did not want to spread out. Its like it was glued together in a watery like form. Its so hard to explain

 

Do your best and all will be good
@bloodhawk Your idea with the GF was very good + she will pay you back

 

If you keep on poking and prodding it, while doing a circular motion thingy it should break up and start spreading.

 

That's the silicon lottery for you.

 

Hey guys just delidded and applied clu but when I start it up the fans turn on high and a few moments later it shuts down any ideas? I pulled the power and battery and discharged any voltage, I also applied icd on top of the ihs

 

If you had a not 100% stable OC before you removed processor, reset NVRAM as video https://biosmods.wordpress.com/2015/10/21/sky-x9/4/

 

Sorry, I'm on my phone. Which machine do you have? Did you nick the pcb? After delidding, you might have contact pressure issues between the pcb and pins...

Pull the CMOS battery and put it back in after about 30 seconds.
The first boot should take way longer after that.
IF this doesn't work, try to post a picture of the processor with the IHS off.

 

870dm and I did pull the cmos I will post a pic in a min. Also the AC/power led flashes amber when the fans go high.

 

Double check if you have dropped any CLU on the motherboard accidentally.

 

What is the number of flashes and spacing of the flashes? That is a code you can look up to tell you what the error is. Commonly referred to as bios beep codes or bios error codes.

I hope that works

 

Yeah, that seems to be fine. Can you check if there are any pin out of place or bent on the socket? If possible a top down picture of that as well, but with better lighting.

 

I just tried again steady blinks not fast or really slow 47 times. Here is a pic of the pins it's not the best all I have is my phone but it all looks good.

Yeah they seem fine as well. All i can think of is, either there is CLU on the board or you cut into the CPU PCB and damaged a trace.
One way to check would be to try the processor in a different system, or try another 6700k in the current one.

 

Yea easier said than done unfortunately

 

Well, there aren't any other ways of testing this out.
Shouldn't have really attempted this without a back up.

Id say wait for some of the more experienced members to reply, they might be more helpful.

 

Can you take a better picture of the front and back of the cpu?

 

I knicked it I didn't see it before looks like I'll be buying a new one tomorrow

 

That's what i figured but i couldn't be for certain without a full blown out picture

 

Or should I wait a few days and grab a 6800k. Will it work being broadwell E.

Never mind I am an idiot and didn't read 2011.

 

I finally opened the pic, bottom along where the gasket use to be, right? I scraped mine but was lucky I didn't cut a trace first time i delidded while cleaning up the sealant intel used. Scared myself to death as the rest went flawlessly...

Edit: different socket, it will never work. Kaby lake will, but that is a longer wait!

Hummmm, that should not stop it from powering on.(unless you exposed the components underneath).... Are you sure you didn't knick a pad some where?

 

https://imgur.com/JnRWAI1 this is the only area they don't look too deep but I can't tell without a microscope from my bench at work.

They feel like they are deep enough I thought it was just some extra glue I guess. Last time I try this.

 

I trying out the new 4.9 GHz profile. New Wprime 32M - 4.158 sec for the first page @Phoenix
You have messed up the leader board also. My Wprime 1024M score is listed with @bloodhawk and th other best 32M score isn't listed. Fix it please I think I can go down under 4.150 sec with 4.9 GHz!!
http://hwbot.org/submission/3239858_papusan_wprime___32m_core_i7_6700k_4sec_158ms?recalculate=true


The best 32M score of all with 4.9 GHz. This with Notebook and stock cooling, LOL

Spoiler: As I said in previous post. Under 4.150 sec :)

 

NICE! Seems like i kicked a a hornets nest.

btw. Dont fix Phoenix.

 

He must fix it... Maybe I kill my chips and there will not come more results, LOL

 

For the first time, my 860M is exceeding 80 °C. I need to re-do my paste job - do you guys recommend I move to CLU from IC Diamond? This will be my first ever thermal paste.

 

looks like you cut the trace lines on the pcb portion or is that something else? down by the 6 gold pads.

 

It is not so much to gain. A little, but it depends on whether your heasink fit perfectly on the die. Icd is better if your heatsink is warped or not fit so good.

 

Yea I cut there I guess it slipped on that one side. Crazy how one little thing can destroy $300.

 

Yep. Join the club for destroying computer parts. Where i'm a member as well.

 

It could have been worse!!! Eg The motherboard have went to hell after the warranty has expired

 

There is quite some chipping on that core too from that picture.
