Top o' the morning everyone!
I got myself an 8700KK last year (new so still 2 years of warranty), but it's far from being a golden chip. It's running at 4.9Ghz at 1.35V on an MSI Z370 Gaming and cooled with an H115i. I reapplied some new thermal paste (Gelid GC Extreme), but still way too hot (70-80C) in games such as AC Odyssey, where all the cores and threads are being used, with some at over 70%.
I am tempted to delidd it, I have already did that in the past with an 4770K using a vice, scary af but it went well, but I have merely used the Arctic MX5 because I was afraid of using liquid metal.
Now, my question, I know it's totally worth it to put some liquid metal inside but how about some non conductive TP instead?
