Gamers Nexus has found that intel's CPU socket retention mechanism is flexing CPUs and causing uneven thermal compound distribution, source below.

Seems like a pretty big oversight from Intel, especially now that CPUs tend to put out a lot more heat due to having more cores and the need for good cooling solutions is so much greater. It's impressive how big of a difference the Thermal Grizzly bracket makes too.

Was wondering why i had core thab ran 10c hotter than other. This must be the reason

Not exactly breaking news. ADL owners have known this for quite some time now. But always love to se GN videos on topics.

It like watching an engineer explain an engine to someone who don't want that much information.

He got great knowledge and i love his video. But they are sooo long hahah.

I would still expect better than stock. No idea.  Did not want to pay 45$ usd + all the shipping and stuff.

 

Still thinking about the delid kit but am afraid that if i upgrade to a 13900k i may kill the chip. the 12700k cheap enough i don't care.

Maybe not breaking news, but the GN team did a great job of showing the details and explaining everything.

Steve is special, just like Jay or Linus.
If I'm tired I can't watch a full video of Steve without falling asleep, but I love what they are doing with all the details and testing.

A Linus video is nearly impossible to finish without going crazy, can't stand him

And Jay, I'm a big fan!

You know I'm a fan, also because of the AC mods

Well if nothing else, a channel like Gamer's Nexus bringing this to a broader audience and maybe gets Intel to rethink their sockets a bit.

They're analysis is super detailed yet still easily digestible to a laymen. They did a great job on this video for sure.
