Interesting. Intel is better off selling lidless chips then just like the MMX days. I’d like that too
I’m already delidded for both my 3770K and 4770K. This should make my life easier though.
30*C lower on full load.
Now im tempted too… I hope asus sells the mount or msi if it is a standard mount plate then i can swap it
Its a quick process really and this makes it helluva breeze
Ang question ko lang diyan is malamang di na kakapit original intel push pin heatsinks
Lalapat yun actually since level yung bracket sa die. Also naka XSPC raystorm cooling ako and I still delidded. Ganun sya kainit
But then again di mo naman gagawin to kung wala kang matinong heatsink haha
I should know im on 3570 and my idle is 42c @_@ a far cry from my 760 which is just 36
I’ll make a delid guide for you then…
