Intel i7 7700K temps lower by 26 degrees after TIM replacement

[WYP]

Benchmarker, RichUK, has shown a new Intel Kaby Lake i7 7700K running at 5.0GHz before and after he replaced Intel's stock TIM, with thermals lowering by 26 degrees.

Again??? So in order to get decent temps we have to delid.....

My 3570k has been running fine delided since the day I bought it. Mind you putting a brand new CPU in a bench vice and hitting it with a hammer and block of wood had my heart going a little.

You'd think that at least for the 'k' skus that Intel could use better thermal compound.

Yes but the whole point is.. why should we have to delid just to get the results we expected from intel out of the box so to speak.

Really hope Zen gives them a kick up the arse. This is beyond cheap for a supposedly premium overclocking part.

I wonder if they have reverted on the pcb thickness too after the issues with some coolers on skylake.

I think that Intel needs to sell HIS and CPU separetly allowing users to choose thermal paste

Would be a disaster. When you compare mainstream users, and pc buyers vs enthusiasts. the enthusiasts are a minority.

Awesome, curiousity is going to make me try this with my 6600k

Wow, nice! I like it! It seem much better than my time taking my 4670k back in the day and hitting it with a piece of wood and a hammer..... I was scared the first time...

Might actually pick this up. Thanks for find.

Twenty-six?! Jesus H. Corbett...

How bad must the original stuff have been?!

If you search ebay you might find some huge tubes of TIM for next to nothing... (And these might be actually somewhat good )

There's no way i would be paying that kind of money for that thing.
