I have recently upgraded my CPU from 6600K to 8700k. Yes, the upgrade itself is a huge-huge performance boost, you can instantly feel the difference, even that is with the stock setting without overclocking. But Temperature spikes was unreal in-between idle vs load. 
Then you try to overclock to check if you actually won a lottery, not in my case, NO. I was only stable around 4.7ghz 1.35V but temps were still around 80-81C max
while bench-marking Cinebench but around 69C is while using ADOBE Lightroom and Premiere Pro, (a bit more probably 75C) which is what I use the PC for mostly editing.
I had lots of mix-thought about staying stock-happy or only mildly overclocking with current air-cooler or high overclocking with decent cooler or Delidding this 8700K
, with lots of sneak around forums and YouTube surfing I decided to buy bits and pieces needed for delidding CPU and while waiting over a week until everything arrived in different seller I was still undecided ether if I should go for it or back out as there's no room for an error but there is no return from this point.
I have ordered most stuff from OCUK but LM was out of stock so had to use amazon which is a pisstake and waited almost over a week for one item. Must say OCUK's CS was amazing.
Not been able to upload more picture with host problems but here are few.
Also I must say that I enjoyed this challenge delidding mine. However this was my first mistake but this improved my delidding skills.
