Also guys, I need help to validate the need to overclock. I can overclock now, but I haven't experienced or noticed any lag or processor speed issues with any game, or any task. In what instances would I be able to notice a performance increase? I really want to overclock, but having an...

I created a post back in November which is located here: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3559133/7700k-83c-spike-temps-deepcool-gammax-400.html I now have my chip delidded and binned, upgraded to a Corshair H115i cooler, added more efficient fans, and I'm running a push pull config on...

Thanks all. I actually worked it and twisted it off carefully without turning it on. I expected the TIM to be completely dry and hard but it was still a little pasty on the edges. Its been about 5 months since I put the PC together. I have some Kryonaut that I'll use to attach my new AIO...

Hello all, I'm trying to remove my DeepCool Gammax 400 heatsink from my CPU so I can send it in to get delidded and binned, and also install a Corsair h115i AIO cooler. I've got everything broken down now, and I've detached my cooler from my motherboard, but the heatsink isn't coming off of...

Hello all. Currently I have two Asiahorse 120mm fans in the front of my case with a deepcool gammax air cooler on my CPU. I bought a Corsair H115i to install once my delidded chip comes back from SiliconLottery. I'm planning on running a pushpull config on my radiator once installed on...

THANKS all! I really appreciate the feedback. I think I’m going to wrap up my plan by January and then focus my attention on other EE projects I have going on.

RIGHT! Thanks DarkBreeze, and I wasn’t confusing the two. I do understand that SiliconLottery will do the DIE/IHS part. Just wanted to get some input on the comments I saw about which paste to use between IHS/Cooler. Thanks for the PCI input as well. Im just going to cut a 200mm hole in the...

Got it! Thanks all. Hey, I received my Corsair H115i in the mail today. I'm going to send my CPU off for delidding and binning soon. I've been trying to take advice from CompuTroix and his machine config because he seems to have figured most of this out already. Per his post he uses...

No I don’t mind at all, quite the opposite! Please, I’ll take any and all info I’m able to get and I really do appreciate it!

Hey CompuTronix, may I ask you a question about your Corsair cooler and the way you've setup your config? I've read other topics on misc forums about the Corsair Hydro series coolers. I can't remember where, but it said to hook it up so that the motherboard is not in control of the cooler but...
