Intel's best processor is not a Core i7 anymore. Last year it introduced the Core i9 processor, with a maximum of 18 cores and 36 threads. The most expensive price is 14,999 yuan, and the 12-core Core i9-7920X is also 8,399 yuan.
If you buy such a high-end processor, how would you use it? Ordinary people will install a full-fledged game console, but in this little brother's hand, of course, it is used to open the lid. It is not enough to open the lid. To polish yourself a few times, it is to lower the processor temperature.
This open cover madness is the overclocker der8auer, we have repeatedly described his opening deeds, he also designed the open cover partner, can be said that in the Intel processor open field, he is an expert.
This time again opened the cover and played out a new trick - opening is only the first step, in order to further enhance the cooling efficiency, he also put 8400 Core i9-7920X rubbed on the ground many times.
In this video, he explains why he should do this.
Core i7-7920X processor is not the same thickness in various locations
The purpose of opening the lid is to increase the heat dissipation effect. After all, Skylake-X, the top processor, is also filled with silicone grease by Intel. However, replacing the thermal conductive material with the lid cannot completely solve the problem, because the thickness of the processor itself is not exactly the same.
The figure above is the result of the measurement of Xiaoge. The thickness of the four corners is not the same as the middle, although the difference is very small, but it has an effect on the heat dissipation - the smoother the heat dissipation contact surface is, the better.
The thickness of the processor itself is not uniform how to do it? How can I do, I polished myself, Here is the brother's death process - polished CPU core.
Considering that the CPU core that is not protected by a metal shell is very fragile, this process is very risky for the average person, and 8400 blocks may become waste at any time. Without this realization, you should not learn to play.
After polishing is like this
Take another pose
The thickness becomes uniform after grinding
After that, you can change the grease. The younger brother is using liquid metal grease.
Both sides are painted
After the transformation of the temperature
After some tossing, the temperature of the CPU really dropped. The maximum core temperature is reduced from 77°C to 75°C, the average core temperature is reduced from 74°C to 69.25°C, and the minimum core temperature is reduced by 4.75°C to 5°C to 66°C.
Toss down the temperature is reduced by 5 °C, this value is not worth not say, but the risk is really true, professional overclocking players toss on the line, we do not follow the school.
