Until AMD Zen 4 and Intel’s 13th Gen CPUs come out, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D will sit firmly at the top of the best gaming processors. Recently, the enthusiast Madness7771 said that the 3D Cache version of the CPU was successfully opened.
Compared with the previous CPU, the risk and difficulty of opening the cover is higher this time, because the layer of 3D Cache is stacked on top of the CPU die. And AMD also limits overclocking in order to protect the fragile 3D Cache.
This time Madness7771 first lifted the IHS top cover with a small blade, then heated it with a heat gun, and then successfully lifted the face cover. It can be seen from the opening photo that AMD is still coated with heat dissipation material on the blank pad in the upper right corner. Of course, the interior is all brazed.
In addition, following grinding off the original heat dissipation material, he replaced a higher-level liquid metal thermal paste. At the same time, he found that the frequency of playing “Forza Horizon 5” increased from 4,436MHz to 4,450MHz, and the temperature dropped by 10 degrees Celsius. , and exclaimed in surprise, “Farewell to 90 degrees from now on.”
