De-lidded 3770k!!

If you're running without the bracket is is just the pressure of the cooler holding the CPU in place?

Yes it is, but the pressure from the heatsink is good.

Only thing to watch out for is to make sure it doesn't bend any pin while removing the heatsink because obviously the cpu will now be stuck to the bottom :p
 
had a go at lapping, IHS was very concave but got there in the end

now running at 4.7Ghz @ 1.42v max temp 66c :)
 
Christ almighty, that voltage! XD 66C though, that's a great result. Mine's hitting that at 4.5 1.25v. I was more interested in variations between cores? Is it more even now?
 
^now thats nice rapt0r, i'm using a tad more V and only 4.7, what board are you using?

do you have core temp?? if so whats your V.I.D

VID is 1.2 @ 5ghz using offset, stock VID is 0.936
board is Asus p8Z77-V Deluxe
yes i have coretemp, not installed though

Ye the vdroop thing, you meen LLC, load line calibration?
That is the most helpful for stable overclcoks, I have it on Ultra High, 1 notch down from the max, it keeps the vcore at its most stable under load without overshooting which is what the max setting does.
 
I de-lidded an old AMD Opteron on I think socket 939. I ran it naked for a fair while.

Also successfully de-lidded a couple of Intel Core2Duos. Remember those bargain chips the e2140? They were about £40 and stock clock was about 1.6ghz but they all 100% overclocked to 3.2ghz and beyond.

Unfortunately I did have a casualty with one of the e2140s. I was using a razor blade (the uber paper thing ones) and when i rocked it under the corner on one side I accidentally slipped and scored a chunk out of the PCB. I still have it to this day knocking about my toolbox and the house as have been meaning to make a keyring out of it or something. I would love to gt it working again. I might find it and open it back up and see if it is repairable, as talked about earlier in this thread by taping it up or something.
