A new generation of Intel flagship processor to change the previous LGA 2011 pins, instead of using the LGA 2066, while the motherboard chipset has also been upgraded to X299, the performance improvement, but it is strange that actually use grease to Instead of the original brazing, no matter what kind of radiator can not save all the way soaring temperature.
Today, the spicy prepared to just buy the i7-7820X to open the cover, in the downstairs Ding Hao Building to buy the bulk price of 3600 yuan a few days ago to buy the LGA 2066 lid opener has also been reached, ready to change the liquid metal Thermal agent for excellent thermal conductivity, while also allowing the processor to gain greater overclocking potential.
CPU open change liquid gold is actually a very common thing, but since Intel fully use grease when the flagship processor began to really enter the 'fever' stage.We previously used the 8700K open cover test cooling very successful, Let the CPU have the potential of overclocking.And today we open the cover of the 7820X after the whole core overclocking to see how much performance can be enhanced compared to before.
Almost kill a row of capacitors
Before we open the lid to the CPU are generally LGA 115X, the operation is very simple, but the latest LGA 2066 processor compared to the previous LGA 2011 made some changes on the PCB, In the upper right corner of the processor, an additional chip and two capacitors.
The official has not given an answer, but the rumors are all NFC chips, there are jokes that if the open cover failed to brush into a bus card to use.
There is a small chip in the upper right corner
The lid opener is several laps behind the LGA 115X (right)
It's easy to buy a LGA 2066 lid opener, just a few bucks more than the LGA 115X processor, and the principle is to slide the lid off horizontally by holding the lid open. When placing the CPU has a special stress, the top cover must slide to the top, on the contrary, it may be a row of capacitors inside down, causing the entire processor scrapped.
While sliding to the top, but also pay attention to the upper right corner of the chip, although I do not know why it is used, but who knows will knock processor will not be unstable. Therefore, when the locking screw, each locked only 1/4 turn, each time to see how far under the cover from the chip, until it is very close to the chip to stop locking, you can remove the processor.
At this point there is still a certain adhesion between the substrate and the top cover, as long as the side of the gap breaking a force on it.
Open the lid and found that the phase change grease into ordinary grease
Open the lid can clearly see the distribution of the capacitor inside, so open the top is the only choice. Intel is different from the past, the recent introduction of the processor are used ordinary grease, see the viscosity should be Shin-Etsu or Dow Corning supplied the same grease in the i7-8700K, i5-8400.
Start coating liquid metal
After the opening of the lid, we can carry out the liquid change operation, before that, we must first clean the top of the processor and the top of the grease, the use of alcohol and paper towels can be reasonably clean.
Clear the grease
Use a razor blade to clean the adhesive
After the good grease, we use the blade to clean the residual encapsulant on the substrate and the top cover. The player who has no record in the hand can use the plastic card to slowly scrape it down.
To capacitor insulation protection
Before coating the gold, be sure to remember to make a capacitor insulation around the core, not the main reason is because after the temperature rise and vibration to liquid gold outflow, but when the coating of gold to prevent accidentally rub on the capacitor is not good Liquid gold in the case of high temperatures will not flow everywhere, but also have a good anti-seismic effect, so no need to do the sealing process. Sealing the use of relatively thin grease can be.
Extruded the size of the liquid grain of rice can be
Apply together with the top cover
Such as LT COOLING black tube paste liquid gold in the application of the time is very convenient, as long as the use of a small brush evenly back and forth can be easily completed, a small amount to the edge does not matter, do not have to clean up, to be more darker to believe this Words, do not be overwhelmed. Core coated finished, the top of the top also smear a thin layer, in order to contact more closely.
Apply glue to the edge of the top cover
As long as the coating glue smear along the edge of the top cover can be a small amount, but be careful to leave a place where the original open spaces to facilitate the internal temperature rise leads to high pressure gas exhaust, the roof edge of the four corners of a small amount can be directly applied .
Install the motherboard before hardening the encapsulant
Many people are worried about the processor to repackage no items to re-compression, in fact, the best way is to pinpoint the location, directly into the motherboard and lock the buckle, because the pressure on the motherboard buckle the most appropriate. When the processor should pay attention to a little hand holding the top cover, try to reduce the displacement.
On the machine test overclocking
Successfully installed on the motherboard, you can boot test it, the motherboard we use the ASUS ROG STRIX X299-E GAMING motherboard, this motherboard uses the LGA 2066 slot, compatible with Intel's latest flagship processor.
What performance do not mention also know that the flagship level, and very interested in this motherboard central LOGO light, face the time is very cool, and RGB lighting is also synchronized with the IO interface mask. Play light will have to play thoroughly, through Asus AURA is able to expand the light of many hardware and flash simultaneously. 3D Printing M.2 Cooling Stand etc. More Functions Wait for you to experience.
CPU-Z correctly identified
After boot everything is normal, unhindered access to the system, open the CPU-Z can correctly identify the CPU, eight core sixteen thread box really enjoyable. Although the core, but also need to engage in more frequency Good performance.
The default copy machine temperature is about 65 ℃
4.5GHz stable
After overclocking to 4.5GHz copy machine temperature of about 80 ℃
Radiator We did not use the top, but an ordinary single-tower six single-tube fan, can be very obvious to feel the heat blowing from the radiator, if you use a better radiator, I believe the heat can be more quickly be Exported.
Multi-core run points 1963 points
Single core performance rose 7%
After overclocking using CINEBENCH R15 multi-core run points, compared with the official 1711 performance up 15%. Single-core score improved 7%, and 4.5GHz is not the overclocking limit, forced by the absence of a suitable heat sink, and no Pull to a higher frequency, but from the temperature point of view, after opening the lid of the processor is still very overclocking potential.
