I am having second delid process done, I am not satisfied with the temperatures. The chip is good apparently, stable low voltage, but to keep it above 40x multiplier, some cores reach 100C. Of course, this is also when the chip consumes 450W alone :- )
This second delid will feature direct die replacement for IHS cover (risky and quite nasty stuff, like old Athlon processor for those who remember how coolers used to be mounted on :- ), a toy from german overclocker Derba8er and probably custom loop ( EK system ). Imho this is a lot of effort...
I've said it in the other thread, but I am little bit disillusioned. I might suggest to stay with dual-xeons in the end. The single-thread performance benefit is absolutely non-detectable and the multi-threaded score still sort of pales in comparison to top tier dual-xeons models.
The Wattage does matter, not because of the electricity cost, but because you need to cool it off, and that's a lot of heat. It's not possible to do it silently (water loops aren't silent contrary to mythical public opinion).
