Anyone successfully delid a 8700k?

Good luck! I’ve decided to get a guy off the bay that lives quite close to me to delid for £13.99. He has high rating and has apparently successfully delid over 100 cpus. So cheaper than doing it myself!

Been tempted to go for one of these services as I can't justify the expense of a delid tool, liquid metal and sealer just for one use. Let me know how you get on.

I do note there's two on eBay who seem to be offering the service and they've had a bit of a price war the past week! Now a whole £1 cheaper than this time last week :D
 
I just used a Stanley blade as per the above picture :)

Just be aware not to push the blade too far toward the center of the PCB given that the sealent is only a few mm wide, it's quite stiff. take it slow without too much pressure working around the edges and the lid will eventually come unstuck.

And that's it .. It's easy as long as you take your time and aren't putting too much force..

I did mine whilst a bit drunk and rushed it and used too much force and ended up bending the PCB .. I thought I might have damaged the CPU but once it was clamped back into the socket it worked fine :)
But I did it a little cack handedly to say the least :)

Maybe I should have warmed the CPU up first to soften the sealent :)

I’ve noticed that. I’m going for the guy I believe is in West Drayton, which isn’t too far from me.

Are you just going to go in person then?

Thinking about it... also tempted to just go for one of the OCUK delid cpus as it’s good for peace of mind and I’m guessing they are under warranty with OcUK? I’m just confused what they are selling at OcUK.

There is a 8086k for 545 ish but it’s hard to tell if that’s just a delid one? It says binned... are they saying it will only reach 4.9? I’m confused by it. Seems overly pricey for a cpu that isn’t guaranteed to go beyond 4.9. Thought 4.9 is the minimum of you should expect on these cpus...

Takes 10mins to delid and there's really not much risk involved. You're paying for them to guarantee it'll hit a specific frequency on a select few boards.

Well I’m just confused by their whole store front when it comes to pre binned, de-lid cpus etc. Do they have a warranty on it? Is it just de-lid for that initial price? Is t just de-lid for that initial price... what???

And to get the equipment to do it would cost upward of £50-60 anyways...

The best option seems to be to get someone else to do it for peanuts, but that would require I buy the cpu test it out. Take it out again, send it off or deliver it personally and then put it back in again.

You can do it for £10 - invest in some Conductonaut and glue, maybe some cleaner. Sorted.

I used a vice, I have a nice compact metal one which did the job perfectly. It only takes a minute so if you know someone with a workshop, it's worth buying them a beer!

Not sure I do lol. I’m just confused by https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...e-socket-lga1151-processor-oem-cp-00c-8p.html

Is this guaranteed to work at 4.9 max or 4.9-5.2 max? Is this just de-lid or pre binned? It’s just not clear. If it’s 4.9 max and at this price it’s a major rip off! I mean all of these chips reach this speed minimum right?
 
That's the ultra with a silver IHS. That's why it's so expensive, that'll probably hit 5.2ghz with decent volts.

Just get yours de-lidded and it'll hit 5ghz (75% certain it will) with 1.35v or so.
