Temps are awesome with the CPU delidded and Liquid Ultra on the die and IHS.

Did you have any issues getting enough mounting pressure on the heatsink after delidding?

Thank you.

No, not at all. I applied CLU to the die, then held the IHS in place while I clamped it back down again. I then applied CLU to the IHS and heat sink copper plate. It was very simple to do. I did not glue the IHS back onto the CPU PCB with silicon as some folks have. The only thing holding it is the CPU retention clamp.

I need to do this so badly. Thank you very much for the info!
