Many times we've seen that the replacement of thermal interface allows Ivy Bridge processors to improve temperature and raise the overclocking potential. We should not forget that this procedure requires the removal of heat spreader, which carries a risk of damage to the processor and leads to loss of warranty.
A Japanese store sells damaged CPU Core i7-3770K after try to remove the heat spreader, with a token discount of $ 12.6.
As you can see, a piece of PCB with the CPU substrate was glued to the heat spreader.
The authors of the experiment planned to replace the regular heat spreader on a copper piece of comparable size. Related Products :
