Yeah, it seems like it. I had hoped to gain better air cooling from the heatsink aswell, thats why I bought it. I did delid my 11900k with LM but the rockitcool IHS isnt available anymore and neither is ANY copper IHS not even Bartex. There are 9900k 10900k and 12900k and above IHS but no 11th gen... As for the fans are they really that different from the stock ones that its worth buying? I only really care if they perform better, quietness is secondary for me. The PSU is great but yeah you do hear some noise but barely audible especially when you game or have headphones on. I dont know what you mean with the cables but you do need to note that you need buy a different wallplug cable if youre outside the US

No, thats in my KM, but i used the wrong thread without noticing for my first post, so i guess ill just continue here ^^ The 780W Eurocom is really cool with its real time wattage display but i think this is only necissary for when you watercool and heavily overclock. Because the combined 560w of the two psus are totally fine otherwise. If you only want to buy it for portability, might be worth it if you get a good price; found it for around 80€ on eBay brand new but the shipping costs to Germany brought it to almost 200 Also planning to get the gt600 air cooler, i heared it'll really help

So ive got the heatsink and delided my 11900k and it arrived today along with my 780w Eurocom PSU. Happy about the PSU but the heatsink is giving me headaches. Not only did it arrive bent but it also seems to make bad contact and no matter which pads or sizes I use its worse then stock. I used Nanogrease extreme and the pads that came with it. Also tried it with arctic tp3 but that didnt improve it. Im seeing mid 80s on the GPU compared to mid 60-70s on the stock heatsink. Which pad sizes did you use? The seller recomendation seems to be not working. Is there anything youve dont to make it work? My air cooled performance is 10C worse then before...

Yeah the copper IHS is just for my OCD ^^ I also had an SM-G but that was worse than my KM-G. Constantly throttled and no matter what I did i just couldnt get it to run properly. Glad about my KM purchasr tho!

Damn, thanks for the fast reply! I just noticed that i posted it in the SM thread instead of the KM, my bad 🫣 Yes I know that it is nickel plated copper but unfortunally my IHS is concave which resulted in over 10°C differences between the cores. So you think buying the hugely expensive pads is unnecissary? Is the AliExpress heatsink able to transfert more heat than the stock one even with no water? Also what is the prefect PL1/2 limit for the CPU? Im still trying to optimize the temps for gaming. What limit do you have for the CPU?

Hey guys! I bought a x170KM-G with an 11900K and a 3080 a couple of days ago and I would like to get the most performance out of it. Im planning to delid the CPU and get a copper IHS, repaste with liquid metal and replace the entire thermal pads. I found EC360 Platinum pads with 16wmk to be the best option. They offer standard ones and one designated "soft". Which ones are best for the x170? Also Im curious to test out the AliExpress watercooled heatsink. Are the temps better than the stock heatsink even without water? Im also looking for an i9 11900k with a high SP Rating thats worth the delid and the copper IHS. Does anyone have one that they would like to sell? (Im in europe) If you have any other tips to reduce the temps i would love to hear them! I already read through most of the forums but if there's any game changing tip i would be more then happy to hear about it 😃
