Ryzen 3950x delid

Deliding of my 3950x
Temps dropped 18 degree celcius when using it with bare cores on CPU block. I will upload more videos later on with before and after deliding temps and benchmarks.
Regarding the deliding process itself, because the surface area is so big, the entire process took almost an hour and I truly thought I had killed it, so much was the force needed to take the heat spreader off.

A better idea would probably be to put it on a oven at 160 degrees ( the melting point of the indium solder ) and them pop the heatspreader off.

I will upload further videos of my Mini-ITX 2950x based build.

Brave man! I shat my pants on the 4790k I did back in the day!

All this risky work, just to gain 10c -15c, I prefer to lower the voltage in the bios.

Awesome video! I'm not sure that those are capacitors at the 9:00 mark, looks like it, but if they were I doubt your CPU would function. Probably chunks of STIM, if you notice all your capacitors are covered in a compound, probably to keep any STIM leaks during manufacturing from leaking on them and killing the CPU.
Question, on your dremel, what head did you use to buff the CPU cores and what was the device you kept putting your dremel head on? Wax? Been thinking about deliding my 3950x and applying Liquid Metal.

This is incredible, congratulations for the skill!
I would like to do the delid procedure on my ryzen 3900x cpu.
What is this tool for removing IHS?
Are you using intel IHS removal tool in ryzen?

11:50 - what's the name of the power tool you are using and the material on the spinning disc

[stanuu]

11:54 what he use on spinning disc to clean cpu?

[Excellence]

Polishing and polishing paste type designation please 11:49

This is more stressful than watching a frog being dissected. Basically a $700 frog.
I don't have the balls to delid anything more recent than a 2000 series

I think you should make a protector for the die when you direct die it, in case of the mounting presure break the die.

Use heat gun to make solder softer, then delid. Easy 3 minutes job.

What M board will you use in the mini itx build. I am planning on upgrading my external water loop fx8350 to a 3950x but I can't decide if I should go with the "asrock x570 phantom gaming itx/TB3" for the thunderbolt 3 future proofing.

Che nessuno lo faccia così, come lo sta facendo lui. Sta rischiando di tagliarsi il pollice ad ogni passaggio ! ! !

The best part about this video is all the people who have/are going to see it and brick their cpu trying it.

[VirtuosoX]

did you drop 18 degrees with direct cooling? without the IHS attached?

[dimmacommunication]

Can you do a video on putting the cooler next ? where do you put the thermal paste ? and wich paste ?

[pavu]

Hey whats the tool exactly? Will this work with 5000 series? Thanks

[a-cq]

What kind of nifty delid tool is that?
I thought there were none for Ryzen 3000/AM4.

[isrcerqueira]

os ryzen ja nao vem com pasta termica de metal dentro de fabrica?

[thelongslowgoodbye]

I have the same tool at home. One thing I don't understand is the plastic piece that's made for AMD CPUs. What purpose does it serve?

[deinemuddaisdoof]

Are you direct-die cooling with the Enermax? Any issues, e.g. are the chiplets the same height to each other and the IO die? Also did you have to lap the Enermax or did it just for good measure?
I really wouldn't mind having a delidded 3950X but I am worried about breaking mine, especially the pins. Delidding TIM-Intel was so much easier..
