A nice poster in my official build log thread noticed a slight temp delta discrepancy with me measuring the wrong timestamped temp for the delta, I also noted other things I fixed:
- I've fixed that and added clarification in my Delid temps post. I've been looking at a scribbled peice of paper with all my temps on it for hours so I've been typing them out and probably got confused.
- I also edited my post to reflect the 2 different temperature deltas im showcasing in the synthetic benchmarks. the orange temp delta shows the difference between the LP53 and the LP53 with the delid, the GREEN temp delta is used to show the difference between my "stock NHL9i" temps and my new "LP53 w/Delid" temps
I also noted where I used averaged temperatures with a "~" symbol
- and I removed the redundant temp timestamps of temps 2min into a benchmark when the benchmark completed for the full 10min without hitting 99c
- OH and I also added a link to purchase those mini VRM heatsinks in my VRM heatsink BONUS adventure, for my Z270i bros!
Cuban, you are definitely earning your legend. You have really put alot of work into this and we all appreciate it. Thank you.
I am curious because you put so much work into this if you could answer this question so we can put it away.
In my short delidding (and separately, the Lp53 experience) is that short runs temperature changes were quite dramatic, but after reaching part temp and doing measurements over a 10 minute period I did not see as big of a difference as you did. I didn't put near as much work into it, so I am hoping you can settle this for me. Can you confirm part temp and what maybe (5 probes) an average was over ten minutes measurements? I think you did this, but I just want not to think about it anymore.
Thank you again!
Awww Thanks! You're my hero, so it's an honor to read such kind words. It's all thanks to your S4 mini Chassis and your design skills, drive and dedication for ingenuity in the SFF hardware community.
Onto your temp questions (let me know if i misunderstood the question, you can ask me any other questions too, all are welcome):
What do you mean by "part temp"?
When you say "short run temperature changes were quite dramatic" do you mean that my results after 10mins of a benchmark could have been different after more 10 min runs of the same synthetic bench? I did not run those benchmarks more than once but the temps I noted at 10min usually leveled out by 5 min into the benchmark.
And by "I didn't see as big of a difference as you did" do you mean your 7700k delidded temps didn't drop as much as mine? Well if so, then I'll ask, did you reapply glue to relid the IHS or did you just place the IHS with CLU bare onto the die and have the CPU retention bracket hold the IHS in place? that might be why my temps are lower... I've read that delidding isn't just about replacing the stock CPU die TIM with CLU, but also reducing the "CPU die to IHS" gap by removing the intel IHS sealant glue and any gap it may have caused from the equation completely. Orrrr temp changes could just be a result of our CPUs just being different due to the silicon lottery, some are hotter than others and some are more overclockable than others sometimes.
About any average temps I gathered: I should have clarified this, sorry for the confusion! If the benchmark was showing erratic spiking of temps up/down within a range, I DID take the average hottest temp of that range. I have gone back and edited any averge temps with a "~" symbol and noted that in the Disclaimer.
@CubanLegend, you are insane. In the best way. I appreciate you going through the trouble of documenting and sharing your process and results!
I am indeed insane, thank you! And thanks for appreciating my hardware addiction. I'm really glad my documentation is appreciated, and maybe could be of help to any future S4 Mini customers looking for a SFF "no compromises" build too. >=)
