Here's a quick solution to try. Install Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, directly download from Intel site. Turn off adaptive voltage, and set your voltage to 1.2V for Core. You'll notice an immediate temperature drop during loads. For some reason Z87 and Z97 Motherboards are far too liberal with letting voltage flow into the CPU cores during load.

Will this hold if I switch to my Mac partition or is it only a Windows tuning utility?

If you are against delidding you can also try this stuff trust me it works.

Thanks. From reading the thread you posted it sounds like the real problem is the adhesive. All the tests I've seen with different thermal pastes show that if you take out the total junk you're talking a few degrees Celsius difference at best.

Probably mentioned elsewhere in this thread - and I know it's old..... BUT based on how many forums I STILL see this being talked about (due to 4709k now) and the misinfo being spread - I figure I'll mention it here.

Your temp drop isn't due to new tim. Don't you wish you could get 20c from changing some TIM? Lol. Use some common sense. The stuff causes pennies per application for intel and they would actually have to WORK to find something bad enough to allow a 20c improvement. A little common sense goes a long way.

The bad temps (and good post delidding) while they may be helped marginally due to TIM (assuming you use something exceptional) is largely due to the decreasing of the space and increasing of the pressure between the IHS and the die. The black adhesive you removed, is the root cause of the bad temps. Their is simply too much of it/is put on too thick and doesn't allow good contact between the IHS and die. I'd be willing to bet that a delid using no TIM at all wipe afford better temps than stock.

Geez. I imagine those are low-RPM and inaudible? Neat.

Used 140mm Helix'es on 1000 rpm, super silent, and a D5 pump at 60%, also very silent.

What case is that?

NCASE M1 v4. Super expensive, super small, very sleek. You can fit a 13cm cooler without side fans, and 10,5 with

No 1000rpm fan is inaudible in a quiet room. Fans start becoming audible around 700-800rpm.

Have you tried the Yate Loon Fans?

They are really really quiet.

I run my noctua NF-A15 and S12A fans are ~400 rpm. I'm very happy with them and I get exceptional temps with my open test bench.

I've tried a lot of fans in the past. I'm as picky about noise as they come.

I'm feeling bad about the amount of noise coming from my box just now. I finished listening to music, I haven't got the AC on, it's 4.00am, and silence would have been nice. Fans running at 800-plus. But, yes, no AC, and it is over 30C ambient.
