Delidding a 4770k

To remove the epoxy from the PCB use the rubber on the end of a pencil...

Hey y'all

Has anyone actually tried the hairdryer/vice method of delidding? I have watched about 20 different vids on YT now showing three methods;

1. Razor blade
2. Vice, wood and gentle knocking
3. Hairdryer and what seems to be a simple removal

Can someone provide feedback for me on whether they have tried 103 above?

Thanks

Make - Have you done this yourself?

No I have not. I have read much about it, and I have considered it.. But.

My temps are still within acceptable limits with a H100i @ 4.6ghz, a delid would net me maybe 0.1ghz more before I will reach 1.4V.. and that doesn't leave much headroom for 24/7 Overclocks. I don't want to risk an expensive CPU for such a little benefit

It would allow me to bench at 4.8 maybe, as I got a relatively good sample. but I don't bench.
