Oh heck, I've even failed a delidding once. I meant post-delidding.

Sounds about right, epic fail!

Regardless of the outcome, the idea that they're artificially putting bad heat paste to MAKE the chip heat up in order to protect it is ridiculous...

"If you drink too much bleach, it will kill you by shutting down your kidneys, so lets make sure you drink just a little bleach so that it only tears apart your stomach, so you won't drink more bleach and die. "

How about drinking no bleach at all?

That wouldn't make us humans. We do stupid things.

I saw Dunky's video on that game. Hilarious.

Sorry Dave but LTT are morons when is comes to delidding - have you seen that video the cobbled together about delidding? It's pure BS ... let me see if I can find it

edit here you go:

The idiot Linus didnt even do it correctly. He even said that people put liquid paste on the die so he decided to put some junk paste.

Strange I purchased a 6700k for my laptop, I delided myself for the very first time and got a 16C drop at 4.3 overclock using liquid ultra. And I bought a already delidded cpu from a buyer on here and got the same temperatures of the store bought processor. I had to put the TIM and bonding paste also.

Linus you're an idiot.

this just make me wonder if it's worth to delid my i7-6700k...

Still a little nervous doing that to a $370 cpu

I want a 7600K NOW!

Seriously, I see no problem in doing a de-lid. I just don't recommend it. While the temp drop is nice, I see it as more hassle than it is worth. Clock it till it pops, have tuning plan already bought, and when it dies, get a new one. If it made a 500 MHz difference every time, then I might have a different attitude, but it doesn't, so I'd rather have a warranty.

I hate to ask, but why, exactly?

The cpu is super durable... its the shitty little mobo pins that are delicate.

just go slow and use a razor and the lit pops off.

Yep, this is just a temporary solution.

If you are that nervous I wouldn't do it. Just undervolt that skylake and enjoy lower temps.

Not not buy a used dual core processor from craigslist and practice on that. I've heard some people tried it that way.

come un, just sit on a chair, be sure to stay on a cool area, take a razor blade, start delidding, be patient, there is people like @9700 Pro that wants a new i5 for delid!

great points there! nice advise

Papahyooie · Dec 23, 2016

I never have even considered delidding a processor before myself... I might have to do it after reading this thread. My i5 4690 wont crunch at even 75% no matter what I do, even at stock clocks.

Probably a long shot, but maybe dropping the temps would help.

my locked i7 drop like 18 c at idle, now idles at 25-29 and a notable drop of almost 30-35c at full load, now my max temp is 55, so consider delid as an option for thermal efficiency with your loved one!

i might advise that its a funny exciting process that takes like 5 mins or less, the cleaning process should be deep cause the thermal crap intel added its pretty sticky and the glue on the IHS its pretty solid sometimes, if the processor its new delid will be easy, if its used. thermal cycles may harden the glue a little moar

7600K IS going to meet a razor blade!

well interesting the quite excellent job on that video, also the part he glues back IHS makes me try again the delid on mine, and glue that bitch back !

Even the Broadwell-E/Haswell-E CPUs show a minor to slight temperature drop.

well i dont see the point of delidding soldered ones... its a lucky that solder didn't break the CPU die...
