I love the kit, I love the cooling performance, and I love the price … but removing that stock IHS (integrated heat spreader) is so risky and dangerous.
Taken from TPU … RockitCool is a new entrant towards the deliding and IHS replacement game, and the company is offering new delid kits that allow users to replace the Integrated Heatspreader (IHS) on their CPUs in an attempt to achieve better operating temperatures – and potentially improve performance. Considered by some to be one of the most daring quests towards extracting the most performance possible from a given chip, the deliding process is, however, not without its dangers, and will void CPU warranties irrespective of the tool – or care – employed in the operation.
RockItCool’s website sprung up earlier this year, and the website doesn’t count with many user reviews – but those that are there seem to be glowing. The company specializes in providing complete delid and pure-copper IHS replacement kits, taking advantage of copper’s higher thermal conductivity as a way to increase the amount of heat that can be pulled away from the CPU – improving its operating temperatures and power profiles. The copper IHS themselves have guidance markings to ease concerns regarding the application of liquid metal itself, which is a particularly risky substance to misapply around electrical circuitry.
