Did another de-lid today, decided that liquid metal is to risky and adds unknown variables to me testing the console. The delid did nothing so I took it apart to check the paste was making contact with the die and the underside of the heat spreader. Well it was so I then decided to add the pressure mod. Well that dropped the temps by 5 degrees.
Just shows that a working sealed unit that had a CPU idling at 62 degrees may actually have a BGA issue thats simply waiting to get worse. So now it idles at 58 degrees and doesn't go higher than 60 under load. Before it went to 67 under load which was actually good considering it had never been opened for a clean.
Maybe there is a design flaw somewhere on the motherboard or are BGA issues inevitable because of poor fan control via Syscon and the age of the console, or is it something that can be prevented? Will increasing the fan speed in webman help BGA issue's? I increase to 32 percent and set it so the temps won't go above 68 degrees, I have never had a console go GLOD using this profile and of course the pressure mod is in place.
So I'm now thinking the risk of a de-lidd just isn't worth it when added pressure is as good and in this case today, is better.
