The der8auer overclocker makes an Intel Core i9 7920X processor delidious and this seems to not have the DIE soldered to the HIS, as it would have leaked in the first instance, something that is not exactly good with Intel's background.

One of the greatest experts in overclocking in the world is the German der8auer, who has acquired the Intel Core i9 7920X and Intel Core i9 7980XE processors, with twelve and eighteen cores, respectively. Well, the overclocking expert as always, has taken these processors and made them a delight, to see what they hide under the metal cover. The first thing is that the tool that this overclocker uses and that it sells to the brave who want to risk the integrity of their processor, also works for the Intel X299.

The image shows a fairly large DIE, greater than that of current processors, this would be normal, because the number of cores is greater than that of current ten-core or lower processors. The processor has not suffered any apparent damage, so de8bauer will give a good account of the processor. This process has revealed something interesting and that is that as you can see, it is very clean and this is due to the fact that it does not have solder, but that the DIE is in contact with the HIS by means of a thermoconductive paste, which is bullshit to cheat. .

We must emphasize that it was said that at least the high-end processors, specifically the Intel Skylake-X, would have the HIS soldered to the DIE, but in the end it does not seem that way. We are going to give a vote of confidence, since this could be an engineering model and these usually have different characteristics than those that hit the market. Intel may have sent you a special processor so you can open it without damaging it and display it, although the trick is that we still have the mayonnaise between the HIS and the DIE. Intel does not learn.
