"A whole lot of effort for not much result" 
Their OC might not be higher, but those temperatures look much better?

Kyle is a bit of a whatsit. Who knows what he's doing to establish any of that.
The temp reduction alone makes it worth while, though. (As suggested above ^)

lol, precisely. It looks like he only tried at the same voltage.
Although reducing the temps can help negate vcore required, it's mega slapdash to bother writing a piece like that and not even adjust voltage.

I'd be happy with the same clock and just a cooler system!

Why not just hold of the whole piece till week after (since lost the video) and then try a proper clock session and then post about it.
I agree with the comments here. My 6700k is at 4.7, I could definitely add at least .05v more, but the temps prevent me from doing so. That's why delidding would be attractive to me and many others. He seems to have missed the whole point of delidding.
My experience of deliding would pretty much align with his really, yes you get the temps down so you can get that OC that was throttling but rarely get more I've put some silly volts through my chips (Ivy) but getting 5GHz stable seemed nigh on impossible, I got the following after delidding 4.8 (i5)/4.9(i7) great but for the volts required over 4.6/4.7 on same chip, it wasn't really worth it, the i5 was the worst in that it could throttle on air at 4.3 stock volts, so its TIM was pants but even so a couple of hundred Mhz doesn't make a lot of difference when gaming, perhaps I am just getting too old

a whole lot of effort (what, 20 minutes at the most?) for not much result (a 23c drop isnt a significant result?) - has he been sniffing glue?
Soldato
He wouldn't know. Because he didn't try a higher voltage than what he did beforehand.

I read the article and thought the same

lmao, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the article has been paid for by Intel into deceiving people lnto that thinking that deliding is useless.

your system won't be cooler. the heat generated from the CPU is more efficiently taken away from the source and dumped into the case/cooling system.
Think about it. more volts and more current = more energy; laws of entropy, all energy turns into heat...so more energy more heat. a system can't be cooler if you are throwing more energy into it.
If you are not using AIO water cooling then chances are your case is getting hotter as opposed to cooler as more heat from the CPU is being sucked up by the heatsink and being diverted to the air circulating inside the case.

Yep but you are assuming that the AIO isn't being used. In which case the person stating just want a cooler system is indeed correct.
