fixing to delid my 4690k. i have this thermal paste. Will it work well?
How do i hold the lid on the cpu once i take it off.
i went out and practiced on an athlon 64 and a phenom neither took that much damage from the vice but I want to protect the cpu i'm about to delid. How do I protect the side of the cpu from bending or cracking?

It's conductive, so no.

Try colgate

What are you hoping to achieve with this?

overclock.net

and, lurk hard & google around a bit before (you) try posting there

It can work but you need to watch out when applying it because it's conductive and you don't want to risk shorting out the SMD components near the die.

Also how are you planning to delid with the vice? In my experience it's easier/safer to use the vice to slowly push the HS from the PCB as opposed to clamping the HS and hammering on the PCB. Make sure that you cover the part of the vice that touches the CPU with something softer than the PCB, like plastic, to avoid damage to the PCB: I used the thick clamshell type plastic that was used in the packaging of some memory modules.

Want to reduce temps when overclocked by 5-10*C.
I was thinking of using it because the google results said it was non conductive.

>Want to reduce temps when overclocked by 5-10*C
you won't.

I couldn't find out jack shit about what types of TIM to use under the lid.

risk destroying a functioning cpu to have few degree temp drop?

I've seen 5*C change on 7600K using decent grease.
figured I'd do it for dem clocks and its easy to pop their lids off. I'll only temporarily be using this thermal grease shit until i get CoolLaboratory liquid pro.

People often use coollaboratory liquid ultra or thermal grizzly conductonaut. These are liquid metal and thus also electrically conductive, but surface tension ensures that they stick to the die and HS pretty well. They also seem to perform beter than regular thermal paste. Still you should probably cover SMD component with some regular thermal paste (the grey stuff) like noctua NT-H1 or something.

Ah yes that Noctua stuff seems nice will have to pick that up from amazon, thanks for the suggestion.

>risk destroying a functioning cpu to have few degree temp drop?
Should have just gotten a Ryzen.

ryzen launch 2017
4690K launch 2014

I'm supposed to buy a new mobo,cpu and ram so I can have more hot cores and be forced to delid?

>Be forced to delid
>Ryzen
What?

I'm waiting for zen 2 which will overclock better.

What does that have to do with delidding a soldered CPU?

What? Ryzen is cooler, uses less power and has no need to be delidded.

figured they were hot like bulldozer. My cpu should be fine for 2 years

Yeah. I'm still on a 2500k waiting for zen2.
