Delidding Ryzen 7 8700G APU Achieves Up to 25 Degrees Cooler Operation

Overclocking expert Der8auer's tests reveal significant temperature reductions and performance improvements after delidding the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU.

Delidding the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU and applying liquid metal thermal interface material can lower temperatures by up to 25 degrees Celsius.
The process also allows for overclocking up to Ryzen 7 7700X performance levels, with some configurations achieving up to 17% faster performance.
The Ryzen 8000 series APUs, including the 8700G, use thermal paste instead of soldered thermal interface material, making them suitable for delidding.
Tests show that even with aggressive overclocking, temperatures can remain under 80 degrees Celsius, ensuring quieter and more efficient operation.
This modification is particularly beneficial for small form factor systems, where cooling capabilities are limited.
