If your CPU runs hot you can always take it apart ...

a serious way to cool a cpu!

 

[Ash]

That's the old way to do it and risky this is what you use now.

Then use liquid pro to re-sit it.

 

[Maliksky]

Yeah, that would be safer. Don't need to slice a finger or thumb.
Is Liquid Pro better than Arctic Silver 5?

 

[Ash]

Liquid pro is much better for delidding but wouldn't recommend it for normal thermal paste between cooler and cpu and it's a bitch to use.

Or buy a good cooler. . . .

If your doing this most people will already have custom watercooling but want to push for even higher overclocks. I was lucky getting 5ghz with 1.256v and didn't need to de-lid but others may need to do this method if they want 4.6 and above, even with decent watercooling or the best aircoolers.

Doing this to a CPU would mean not spending much on cooling.

What I use to do was 'lap' the CPU and cooler base.
