This is awesome! Now we just need a version of this for Clevo laptops. The upgradeability of my SM-G is begging to be utilized.

Also if anyone needs extra cotton swabs for applying liquid metal, they're these Japanese ones: https://www.amazon.com/Tifanso-Cruelty-Free-Biodegradable-Chlorine-Free-Hypoallergenic/dp/B07R8B93GL/ref=asc_df_B07R8B93GL?mcid=e042f9f5c5c2392481644c9da3b526ea&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693127596188&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14693873930929850647&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9026808&hvtargid=pla-757827286496&th=1 Don't waste your money on ordering extra swabs from Thermal Grizzly. They're just doing an insane upcharge on the swabs I mentioned above. The swabs are "special" in the sense that they're more densely packed than q-tips, which helps a lot with spreading the liquid metal, but they're just regular cotton swabs otherwise.

I'm very interested in your end results! I just bought some Conductonaut extreme since I used the rest of my Conductonaut on the build I did for my buddy over the weekend. This liquid metal here looks like it has even better thermal conductivity.

Pull the cable straight up using the black tab that's attached to it. This is the eDP cable. You'll need to pinch that black tab with your thumb and index finger. It should lift off pretty easily once you pull straight up.

I love seeing people being passionate about the things they love and enjoy. This is quite the collection you have! I used to be super into alienware laptops as a kid and it was my dream to own one. I finally got an Alienware 17 R1/M17X R5 when I was in high school and really enjoyed it. I upgraded the GPU to a GTX 1060 and I still use it to this day alongside my Clevo X170. The old Alienwares were built to last! My most favorite backpack ever is my Alienware Vindicator backpack I got in 2015. I've used the crap out of it and the rubberized face is peeling off, and my mom snapped one of the zippers by accident since the rubberized zipper tips have become quite brittle, but the rest of the backpack itself is still in really good shape.

Yep, high binned 10900Ks can do some pretty amazing all core speeds if they're kept cold enough. The cold also significantly reduces their voltage requirements and power draw, further increasing your overclocking headroom. You saw the results that just a TEC is capable of getting out of this chip. I was able to do 5.5 Ghz on mine in games initially but could never keep the chip cold enough to keep it 100% stable. Any temperature spike too high and the machine crashed. One thing I really like about my current 14900KF system I just built last weekend is that the system doesn't crash if I overclock just a little too high. Programs crash instead, which makes the trial and error a lot quicker of a process now that I don't have to wait for system shutoffs and reboots every time now. I do want to get the V2 of the MasterLiquid ML 360 Sub Zero, called the MasterLiquid ML 360 Sub Zero Evo, as that will enable me to continue my sub ambient overclocking adventures with the 14900KF. Funnily enough, Skatterbencher did some overclocking using a TEC on almost my exact same setup (he used a 14900KS instead of the KF) and got really good results out of it. He was able to easily do 6.2 GHz all core in Shadow Of The Tomb Raider. Video if anyone is interested:

I'm using Windows 10 22H2. I'm specifically using the WindowsXLite version for maximum performance. Cinebench R15 is able to use the E cores, just not at the same time as the P cores. I can make it use either core types, just not at the same time.

Yes, the cooler sucks until you enable the TEC. There are 2 different control center applications you can use for it. You can either use the Intel official Cryo Cooling software: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/715177/intel-cryo-cooling-technology-gen-2.html Or you can download the open source modded version that doesn't contain the stupid artificial CPU model check, which allows the TEC to work with any CPU: https://github.com/juvgrfunex/cryo-cooler-controller I prefer the open source version. Once you get either one of these applications set up along with the required drivers to make them work, just enable the TEC and watch your CPU go brrrrr (literally, the CPU can get pretty cold). If you use the Intel official version, I'd recommend setting it to Cryo mode for daily driving, and enable unlimited mode only when benchmarking in short bursts. If you use the open source version, setting the Offset parameter to positive 2 is equivalent to running Cryo mode on the Intel official software, and setting that Offset parameter to a negative number is equivalent to running Unlimited mode on the Intel official software. Once you enable the TEC, the cooler is good for a CPU power draw up to about 200 watts before you start thermal throttling. I also used liquid metal between the CPU die and IHS, and also between the IHS and the cooler coldplate nozzle. Note, DO NOT use liquid metal between the IHS and coldplate on the MasterLiquid ML 360 Sub Zero if your IHS is pure copper, use nickel plated IHSes only! If you use a pure copper one like I did, the liquid metal will weld both copper surfaces together over time with the TEC active as the colder temperatures from the TEC coldplate and the heat from the CPU accelerate the absorption of the gallium from the liquid metal into both copper surfaces, and eventually bonds the copper surfaces together. Alternatively, you can pre treat both copper surfaces with liquid metal to prevent this from happening. Stupid me, now I can't get the cooler off my golden 10900K. It really needs a repaste.😭 I was able to do 5.4 GHz all core in games on this thing using the TEC, 5.6 GHz single core boost on my particular chip. It can hold all core speeds over 5.4 GHz indefinitely as long as the temperature is kept below 140°F (60°C).

5.8 GHz P Core only all core run in Cinebench R15: 6 GHz P core only single core run in Cinebench R15: Shadow Of The Tomb Raider Benchmark with the 14900Kf at 5.8 GHz all core: I can do 240 fps raw on this system, mwahaha!

I'm using the BIOS profile that was on the motherboard when I received the parts. Also I'm benchmarking using Cinebench R15. Also funnily enough, my system feels significantly more responsive and snappy with the E cores disabled. I haven't done any official benchmarks for this, but it just feels faster. Looks like it'll still serve as a good stability test for me then. I've always used Cinebench R15 to test my overclocks. If they pass a benchmark, they're pretty much always stable in games.

I just tried that and got the same behavior. Cinebench R15 was adamant that it only ran on one set of cores. I can get it to run on either P cores or E cores, but not both types at the same time.

Since oddly Cinebench R15 refuses to use both the P cores and E cores on my 14900KF at the same time, I ended up doing a P core only run and an E core only run by manually setting processor affinity each time to those respective core groups. The P core only run is the one in orange and the E core run is the one in brown. Looks like 8 P cores is more powerful than 16 E cores.

Solid proof of why high speed, low latency RAM does in fact matter a lot in gaming. Even with the amount of 3D vcache these X3D CPUs have, it's still possible to exhaust that cache many times over in some games. This is exactly the reason Intel CPUs scale so well with fast memory; it helps mititgate the shortcomings of the cache on Intel's CPUs vs AMD's X3D CPUs (in regards to cache size that is).

Uhh, well I'm really glad my house and everything within a few miles didn't vaporize. Apparently my new super 14900KF consumed more than a quadrillion watts of power for a fraction of a second. @Mr. Fox This is some seriously powerful hardware you sold me. I don't know if this is better or worse than someone's laptop CPU running at 90,000,000°C. I'm surprised nuclear fusion didn't occur inside their laptop.
