Enthusiasts had engineering samples of the Core i9-7920X even before this twelve-core processor went on sale, most experiments boiled down to extreme overclocking without removing the cover and replacing the thermal interface. Recall that the Skylake-X processors with the number of cores from twelve and above use a crystal different from the younger ones.
German enthusiast Der8auer , with a proprietary device removed the cover from the processor Core i9-7920X. The photos of the naked crystal left no doubt that there was no solder under the cover of the heat distributor.
The remnants of the plastic thermal interface are visible in the following photo:
Thus, the hopes for a revolution in the field of "standard thermal interfaces Intel" once again fail. The prices for processors are already measured in thousands of dollars, and the solder under the cover of the heat distributor has not appeared. Related Products :
