I was scared to delid my CPU, but then...

ah yes, "Iridium" on the CPU. XD

derBauer: "It's idiot proof." Jay: "Sounds like a challenge!"

The “decapitate” part of the manual is probably due to the fact that Roman calls deliding “köpfen” in German which literally means just that. Considering the amount of CPUs he’s already destroyed during deliding I think that’s actually a pretty accurate term for it 😂😂

It was neat to watch the delidding, but I was also hoping to see how you got it all back into the system. I was a little disappointed that it jumped from getting the top off to running the benchmarks.

Would have been interesting to see where the clockspeed ends up with the 85°C limit and the -40mV offset to see if it is worth doing that (probably not but I'm still curious).

Jay's german accent is more terrifying :)

I delided a 4790K years ago, used the vice method,, this was before you could buy a delidding tool, now that was truly terrifying! thankfully all went well, I applied some liquid metal pro and temps dropped a good 15 degrees, probably the best CPU I ever owned as far as overclockability, these days I don't bother as it's not worth voiding the warranty and overclocking is pretty much automatic these days (kind of lost its cool factor) unless you're into LN2 extreme overclocking otherwise it's just not worth the hassle

22:06 Literally the thing that keeps me from doing any manual overclocking. These names are too arbitrary, some are there some seem to be missing, then it changes based on board manufacturer. I'm just too afraid I'll fry something because I misunderstood the name.

Jay, consider investing in some Kimwipes and acid brushes for cleaning PCBs. The brushes allow for getting into tighter spots and the Kimwipes are fiberless so you can use them to pick up the grime, flux, pastes, etc remnants that you loosed with the brush.

I'd be really interested in seeing what the stock performance vs all the mods would be. Like a value breakdown

Colgate also makes two extra soft brushes. They have one that has a large surface area of bristles, with the other one having a much more thinned out & rather point styled one. Both work really well for cleaning out sensitive spots on uncured resin prints, so I imagine that it would work rather well for this sort of application also.

Mate, thanks a lot for this video. My order for the new Ryzen CPUs was litterally waiting for a video that showed me if it was possible to delid this thing and gain some degrees. Good job :)

Eagerly awaiting this delidding tool to hit retail, have been working slowly on a custom case and running the cpu daily since launch to check for flaws before I finally tear up my warranty 🤞

I started watching almost 3 years ago. Always wanted to do something with computers but computer science is beyond my knowledge. Thanks to your videos I start in IT courses in spring!

Really looking forward to seeing the finished build.

i love watching this types of videos even tho i would probably never do that in my life but i just want to know that and watch it and learn, honestly thank you Jay 😄

They are ball bearings, but they are thrust bearings. So they are designed to allow movement on 2 parallel flat surfaces rather than just an axis inside a raceway. If that knife you are opening the box with is a higher quality one, it may have thrust bearing on the pivot to let the blade flick open without the resistance you would get if it was just a nylon washer.

Been followring your content since 2020 when I got into pc stuff because of you. I learned a lot from you and will be continuing to watch and learn from your awesome content! PC building is very expensive here where I'm at, so even though without my own pc, watching your content makes my day. Cheers to you guys and I hope your content spread more. Happy thanksgiving to ya'll 😁

Jay. Never change. Your humour is absolutely the best.

Just bought some Kyronaut and the CPU Guards (Pads) for my 7950! Always glad I watch Jayz videos before I build! Thanks!! 🍻
