The perennial silicone grease of the Intel Core processors will have a very significant drop in peak temperature after the change of liquid gold. This modification is a must for overclockers.
However, has AMD Ruilong, who has been concentrating on using brazed solders, have no potential for explosive change? The German overclocking der8auer used AMD's new Ryzen 5 2600 to test.
Ryzen 5 2600 code name Pinnacle Ridge, based on 12nm process, clocked at 3.4GHz, accelerated 3.9GHz, 6-core 12-thread, thermal design power 65W.
Look at the results first. Put on the liquid and put on the machine. The radiator is NZXT Kraken X62, 4.1GHz (1.35V) running Cinebench R15, peak temperature 60 degrees, The score before opening the cover is 64 degrees. Obviously, it is not worthwhile to open the cover for 4 degrees.
Open cover process briefly:
Before the cover is opened, the adhesive between the metal top cover and the PCB is scraped with a blade. Light and stable are the keys.
Then use the lid artifact Delid-Die-Mate 2, because of the wrong size, to remove the seal ring and add the appropriate thickness of aluminum.
Then put the entire lid opener and CPU inside the heating device (oven?), the temperature is controlled at 170°C, because the brazing solder is indium, the melting point is 156.6°C. After the heating is completed, the screws can be tightened with protective gloves and applied. A horizontal force opens the lid.
At the end of the installation, it chose its 'Thermal Grizzly' liquid metal to fill the gap between the CPU die and the metal top cover.
