    That's almost as bad as the guy who delidded his 7700k, knocked off some capacitors, soldered them poorly back on, and it booted :eek::D

    I actually seen that thread and that's what had me worrying lol. I'll order the stuff this Tuesday instead a I was too busy modding my SNES this week and forgot all about it. Them cheap RGB cables are useless by the way :D

    Anyway yeah surely since it's a decent tool and everything and I use some common sense I shouldn't break it... hopefully :P

    I delidded my 6700K @ 4.6ghz with deBauers Tool and used CLU liquid Metal TIM. Never goes above about 55ºc with my 280mm Corsair AIO. Also applied CLU between my Palit SuperJetstream GTX1080's Heatspreader and Heatsink when I had that off to Plastidip the Shroud White.

    After delidding and using CLU I got about 20c drop under load. I'm getting a lower temperature at 5ghz 1.4v than I was at 4.7ghz 1.25v. I think that 1.4v is a bit high so I'll probably dial it back a bit but 1.35v isn't enough to run 5ghz it's unstable. Huge temp drops though.
