"Delidding AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU: Up to 25°C Cooler and 17% Faster Performance"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Wccftech
Hardware expert Der8auer delidded the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU, revealing its die and achieving a significant temperature reduction of up to 25 degrees by applying liquid metal. The delidding process involved using a delidding tool from Thermal Grizzly, and despite the APU's lower die height, thermal performance improved with the use of graphene thermal pads and liquid metal. While delidding may not have widespread market potential, it proved beneficial for reducing thermals and increasing clock speeds in constrained cooling setups.
