SS you will be lucky to get 5.5 sable for Pi possibly more if running single core with HT enable.

honestly the thermal dump is too high for a SS need DICE, Cascade or LN2

[DOM]

So is it that bad that Intel didn't solder the ihs to the core ?

My ss is tuned to hold 300w -45c

But ill find out wed or maybe tuesday if UPS doesn't take forever to deliver.... Just remembered I only get to sleep 2hrs after work tuesday morings :S so well see if I get anymore sleep that day... Going to try to get the wife let me bring in the ss out of the garage in to the house lol

It's so damn hot in there during this time of the yr

[punx223]

its not taht its "bad" its just not as good for thermal transfer so under SS I was getting some bad thermal spikes....

also on LN2 getting to cold bug or even full pot temp on a chip with little or no CB is very hard

[DOM]

you going to delid yours ? if you do it ill do it :laughing:

but i wonder what kind of tim they used if its even good for cold....

[punx223]

ive delidded and grind down a few of them now man... thinner good paste does much better but you HAVE TO grind the IHS soem... I would not recommend doing unless you never plan to RMA man.

[DOM]

Did it help it oc more ?

I would do it if it would give me 7ghz lol

[punx223]

no guarantee of course but it stopped some of the wierd issues I had with temp spikes especially at SS temps
