Grizzly is the best option for longevity. LM still a decent option.

Never mind, just seen you've hit 4k on mems.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Try loading BIOS defaults and then:

Input 1.15 for VCCIO / System Agent and 1.4v for memory.

Set mem frequency to 3866

Manually input your DRAM timings for 4266 (so in my case - 19-19-19-39-2T)

leave tweak mode on auto - F10 and save changes.

Boot to windows and restart

Enter BIOS and change to 4000Mhz - F10 save changes and load into windows

Train at lower value is a decent technique sometimes. This is decent advise.

That 4k on memory is mega impressive. I wish I could even get mine to post at xmp settings of 3333mhz.

8Pack, as someone who has applied thermal paste to many 8700Ks already, do you have a preferred method? Pea/grain of rice in the middle or a thin line? I've bought some Thermal Grizzly to use with my Noctua NH-D15. Cheers.

Did you use liquid metal? I did mine today and have about 25C lower temps on my 8350k. Corsair H80iv2 AIO.

Coollaboratory liquid ultra, 100% metal. Think it should be good enough? Hyper 212 air with a single slow speed fan, as standard really loud. Will pick up a h100i at lunch tomorrow and try it in the evening. My h115i for my build is too long for the case!

seems a distributor is getting 8700/8600k tomorrow - wonder if they'll filter into resellers this week

I used Grizzly Kryonaut, followed this vid from der8auer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRytGgmdeQM

Kryonaut my choice also. I spread thin layer on IHS after heating with hairdryer. Spreads like butter then

I wish I'd used the hair dryer... my living room was like a fridge while building and the paste was really tacky

The temps seem fine though at least...

folk using liquid metal on die. what are you then using between HS and cooler? I assume it makes sense to use liquid metal again?

pastymuncher · 9 Oct 2017 at 09:24

On both Haswell cpu's that I have delidded I used CLU between the die and IHS and Kryonaut between the IHS and waterblock. I don't want the hassle or mess of using liquid metal between the IHS and block. This method gave me a 15-18 degree drop on my 4670k and a whopping 25 degree drop on my 4790k.

Kryonaut is the best option by far.

Which Kryonaut to use on cpu 8-Pack? I’ve been using mx-4 for a few years and it’s been good.

@8 Pack , what do you put between the HS and cooler? When you are doing your delidding/overclocking and testing?

chroniclard · 9 Oct 2017 at 10:10

Anyone running 8700k with a 1080 @ 1440p?

8 Pack · 9 Oct 2017 at 10:16

Hydronaut for testing.

Forgive my ignorance but is that Paste or liquid metal?
It's just elsewhere I'm seeing it people go t all the bother of delidding and applying liquid metal to the die and then slapping thermal paste between the cooler and HS. Does this make sense?

8 Pack · 9 Oct 2017 at 10:25

Just use paste..normal paste. Hydronaut is Thermal Grizzly paste designed for water cooling.

I assume you have tested liquid metal vs paste between the cooler and it's negligible. Weird that it makes such a difference between the die and HS. Is it just the paste intel using is really terrible?
