Broadwell processors in LGA 1150 also received thermal paste instead of solder, although they are not positioned in the status of the best choice for overclocking initially.
Colleagues from the Japanese site PC Watch removed the cover from the serial copy processor Core i7-6700K. This method of separating the lid from the heat spreader processor chip used their displacement in the opposite direction. According to the Japanese colleagues, the substrate processors Skylake thin enough not to apply sharp objects when attempting to separate the cover thickness of the PCB was reduced from 1.1 to 0.8 mm.
On the left - the processor Core i7-6700K (Skylake), right - processor Core i7-4770K (Haswell).
Note that around the crystal on the substrate processor Skylake there are not many elements . Core i7-6700K processor overclocked to 4.6 GHz with vcore 1.325 v and using cooler Cryorig R1 Ultimate, replacing the thermal paste on the additional wager allows alternative 100-200 MHz.
The following are the results of the test Core i7-6700K processor with three different thermal grease (standard, Prolimatech PK-3 and Cool Laboratory Liquid Pro), at frequencies of 4.0 GHz and 4.6 GHz, respectively.
Liquid Pro allows to significantly improve the cooling of the processor, while Prolimatech PK-3 provides the advantage of not more than 4 degrees Celsius. In idle mode the temperature remains at the same level by using all three of the thermal paste.
