Delidding?

[The_Governour]

Could you delid a i3 4330T? Is this the same hot batch of haswell cpu´s like the 4670k etc? As delidding those showed very good temp drops.

Yes, yes..... I KNOW that the 4330T is only 35 tdp but for what i am doing then any temp drops would matter.

So, can it be delidded or not?

I cant imagine them having soldered the ihs on.. but i would double check as many places as possible 1st. because i don't know, But i really don't see why they would have soldered it on.

I'd imagine "if" you can delid the 4330T you'd get much better thermals you could well go passive on the cooling, especially with it only being 35tdp.

Ok then I might try it and see where it leads. Just so far I have not seen any reviews were it shows load temps. I might be too eager and just delid it from the start before making teste my self with stock and delid temps...
