Der8auer disassembles the intel xeon w

Not long ago, Intel introduced the 28-core Xeon W-3175X processor with unlocked multiplier. This CPU supports six-channel DDR4 memory and clock speeds of up to 4.30GHz. The popular overclocker Der8auer has laid his hands on it to perform the classic 'Delid' to improve temperatures and perform some overclocking.

The processor of about $ 3, 000, is one of the most expensive that have passed through the hands of Der8auer, or perhaps, the most expensive so far.

With the current ninth generation of its Core chips, Intel is once again using solder to allow for optimized heat transfer between the array and the heat sink. In the case of Xeon chips things are different and a standard thermal compound is used. Der8auer has removed the Xeon W-3175X's Integrated Heat Sink (IHS), which required a little more force compared to what is required for conventional desktop chips.

It improves its temperatures by about 9 degrees

Based on your tests, there is a significant improvement before and after the modification. Der8auer demonstrated the performance of the Xeon W-3715X operating at 4.3 GHz and 1.15V on Cinebench R15. With the 'delid' made by Der8auer, the chip under its temperatures by about 9 degrees. This is definitely an interesting improvement in temperatures that allows for a higher degree of overclocking.

Although the whole process seems relatively simple, we are talking about a processor that is too expensive to risk disassembling it and performing a delid, in addition to the loss of the guarantee. What do you think?
