Intel's 12th generation Core Alder Lake processor in addition to improving the architecture and process, in the heat dissipation is also an improvement, but in order to achieve a better temperature control effect, or to open the lid to change the heat dissipation material, and now someone tried to open the cover of the Core i5-12600K processor, replaced by liquid gold, the temperature at 5.1GHz directly reduced by 10 degrees.
Since the Core i7-3770K era, many people have been familiar with the CPU opening cover, RockItCool has also made its own open cover tool, which can easily remove the metal top cover from the 12th generation Core, and then replace the silicone grease thermal conductivity, replaced with liquid gold material, the thermal conductivity is much stronger than the silicone grease, which is also the reason for many high-play open covers.
How about the results of the open lid heat dissipation, they did a test on the 12th generation Core i5-12600K, compared the results of the original unopened lid, compared the heat dissipation results at a high frequency of 5.1GHz, the temperature was reduced from 84 ° C by default to 74 ° C, the temperature was directly reduced by 10 degrees, and the effect was still very obvious.
Of course, RockItCool also has its own considerations for doing CPU opening, they want to sell the opening tool, the price is 59.9 US dollars, more than 360 yuan, the value is not cheap.
