2700X smokes the stock heat sink.

[ShrimpBrime]

Don't pull daily rigs apart often. After a couple years of use at stock, looks like the heat sink took some heats!!!

 

Swapped out the chip because it's lid-less and also out dated. A 5600G to take it's place in my son's (11) gaming rig. 

 

Check it out! haha. 

 

Just don't ask what the thermal paste is. I got the * free so I use it. 

 

 

Here's proof de-lidded.

Certainly tarnished, looks like a chemical reaction.

I don't know how you were keeping a 2700x cool with the stock heatsink.  My son's 2600x hits like 95c on the stock heatsink.

Which stock cooler is that? Reminds me of an older one. The Wraith Prisms have stupid heat pipe gaps that need extra TIM in the cracks. BTW, I have a couple extra if anyone wants one. I found they work pretty well. All my Wraith Stealths I steal the fans off because those are worthless coolers

It almost looks like an older Opteron or FX type copper based stock cooler to me.  Have to wait for @ShrimpBrime to confirm for sure though.

That's what I was thinking like one of the old 125W coolers.

BTW, 5600G is an amazing CPU. Mine could Turbo up over 4.8GHz with PBO +200 and 104 bclk and it runs so much cooler compared to 2700X.

[ShrimpBrime]

Yes that's an old Opteron (FX or Phenom) heatpipe cooler. But was in New condition when I installed it. 

 

And yes, the Wraith Prism fan clips right onto it.

No one asked!!!

 

The paste is IC Diamond. I know the back story.... nvm that for now.

 

The paste came off looking great. Nice contact, had to use channel lock pliers to remove the plate from the heat sink. Popped right off and left very little behind.

 

On the left where you see the fresh scratches is where I used my pocket knife to remove the little remaining paste.

 

Honestly, ICD is decent stuff. Like I said, got a bunch of tubes free, so I use it. Comparable to what I usually like to use, Antec Formula 7 diamond nano. Yes, even on lidless chips.

It's been 3 years since building,and about due for my regular cleaning,so I figure I'll clean & repaste my Wraith prism on my 2700x since when I just tested it was up to 85 degrees C  during multi runs of cinebench and clocks were dropping to 3.7 on all cores. lol, 1 persons post is anothers motivation.

Are you using the stock cooler or an aftermarket? 

Tough to clean and upgrade my kids rig. He thinks he's in trouble when it's missing a haha. 

Haven't asked him how the 5600G is doing for him. Says BeamNGDrive gets a little choppy with AI installed, so I am curious. I'm not much of a gamer, but he's got the PS steering wheel pedals and shifter set up. I've taken some cars for a spin, pretty cool stuff. Can't imagine having that as a kid. We had dirt and sunshine....

Normal for the 5600g to struggle with beam ng.   Each car is using a thread.  My 5900hx in my laptop is a desktop 5700g and it can't even come close to my desktop 13900k even my 12700k when i still had it.

In the game setting somewhere you can change AI to use more simple car for traffic to be easier to run.

Nice, thanks for the tip. I'll pass that on to Jordan!
