That's not what testing has found out. HardOCP has tried delidding and they got like 100MHz more. To me, that's proof the stock solution is more than adequate.Throttling is happening even on stock CPU's. K models are "OC versions" after all. Altho delid is needed to OC properly. Most of them can't even hit 5 GHz stable without throttling. Intel sent out review samples that overclocked better than average and even these hits 90C+ at 5 GHz using 240-360mm AIOs.
And no, they don't throttle by default. They may not sustain boost clocks indefinitely, but they will sustain the advertised base clocks.
