Will do. Stoked
Hi,
Frankly I'd sell the 7900x as is they're still fairly desirable more so than 9900x because with delid they probably have more oc limit
Delid will flush your Intel 3 year warranty down the toilet
Here's an opened 7900x silicon lottery did for me it only lasted about 9 months before it went south and I had to redo it
After sell buy a soldered 9900x and know at least it will always have a 3 year warranty.
Thermal paste well application is probably more important than product noctua nt-h1 is cheap/ easy to get and performs within 1c of the expensive online thermal grizzly stuff.
Thermal grizzly krocrap is usually already dried in the tube lol :)
There's one youtube guy who recommends painting the paste which he's been doing for 27 years. I've always used the pea dot method.
I used that Silver stuff , can't remember the name but it is still working. I read on some tech site that it should be changed at least once a year..??
Yep, just get a 9900X and sell your 7900X, you`ll easily get $600 to $800 for it.
They are still asking $900 for a new 7900X.
That`s my plan.
