IHS Tweaking

 

Because of very high temps, I've modded the IHS by removing the manufacturer original thermal compound and replacing it with Artic Silver 5. This mod drops 10 to 15°C in full load Before modding, temps were awful under watercooling, for instance, at 1.60V the cpu loaded at 63°C before crashing @PI 1M... Now it does not exceed ~55°C even if I put the vcore at 1.70V.

 

In order to stick back on the IHS, I've used a kind of silicone usually use to make join of sealing into engines. There aren't any measurements required After installing again the cpu into the socket with its IHS stick back on, I am remounting the wb carefully, taking care of the IHS because the silicone is fresh and let it like that for few minutes before turning on the computer.

[learners permit]

Could you post some results using double rank modules?

[before]

All benchies were done in dual-channel so far...

[learners permit]

Single or dual channel makes no difference everyone knows single sided ddr modules O/C better than double. The question remains posed.

[before]

Ok, I may have misunderstood your question... :confused:

What did you mean by "double rank modules"?

[Clint]

Nice!

 

Thinking of doing the same.

 

What kinda black goo/tape did you use when putting it together again?

Do you have any specific measurements on how thick it should be?

What is your temps before/after?

[learners permit]

A pair of 1 gig modules would be very interesting.

Ok, I see I don't have some sorry...
