i7-1185G7 Reached 60W boost. Happy

Oh right this thread’s for the i7-1185G7, I have an i7-1165G7. Which CPU do you have?

I was comparing to Notebookcheck’s numbers. Caveat, the review’s from 7/26/2021 so things may have changed.

Thanks for the numbers – they’re very similar to what I was seeing with mine when I tested in Windows 10 with Cinebench R23 and ThrottleStop. I can confirm that I was also only able to sustain 15W-18W single core, though it seemed to improve after I repasted with the spread method instead of the pea/line method to ensure the entire die was covered. Unfortunately, I didn’t care enough to write down hard numbers.

I’ll jump into Windows later tonight to check peak TDP in single/multi-core (some curing time has passed with the Arctic Silver 5) – let me know if you’d like anything for comparison.

My curiosity’s piqued – what did you lap, the heatsink or the die? Bending the retention pins seems definitely risky, but definitely something I’m interested in :melting_face:
I’m thinking about ordering Framework’s tube or Kryonaut, ehh.
