Amd raven ridge substantially improves temperature with delid

With the advent of Raven Ridge processors , AMD has joined the trend started by Intel to replace solder between die and IHS with thermal paste, something that can negatively affect heat dissipation. Der8auer has already gotten to work with the Ryzen 5 2400G and shows us the results.

The delid improves the dissipation of the Raven Ridge processors

Der8auer has used their Delid-Die-Mate 2 tool to remove the IHS to a Ryzen 5 2400G processor and replace the thermal paste underneath it. The German overclocker has replaced the thermal paste applied by AMD for the acclaimed Thermal Grizzly metallic compound, one of the best we can find on the market. For temperature tests before and after the delid, an NZXT Kraken X42 AIO heatsink has been used.

After the delid process, the Ryzen 5 2400G has seen its temperatures reduced by 7 and 12ºC under Cinebench and Prime95 26.6 (12K) tets. Once the processors have been overclocked, the temperature difference has remained at 10 and 15ºC, which shows that this practice will be especially interesting for users who want to take their new processors to the limit of their capabilities.

Der8auer has shown that the substitution of thermal paste welding damages the operating temperature of Raven Ridge processors, AMD affirms that this measure has been necessary in order to offer a much more competitive product in relation to price and performance.

The Delid-Die-Mate 2 tool needs an adapter to be able to work with the new AMD processors, this will be on sale very soon so it can be purchased without too many problems.
