Has anyone got a delid tool?

3D printed versions are junk!!

I take it u did not see them in action on you tube. they are clamping nothing correctly. PCB flexing etc.....

Kill your CPU's dont bother RMA.
 
Using a vice with a 3d printed one seems much safer than using a random bit of wood and a hammer. You will have much more control than guessing how hard to hit it.

If the pcb starts to flex then you can easily undo the vice before any damage is done.

All delidding is at own risk and voids warranty whichever method you use. It's not like we could rma with the £60 tool if something didn't go quite right.

I don't think anyone disagrees the £60 one is a better tool than the 3D printed one but it's 3 times the price. If it was £35ish there would be a lot more guys who would buy and keep.

The 3D printed one cost around £20 from shape ways for anyone who's interested. I will report back on the quality and delidding process when it arrives.

Skylake TIM is pretty decent, isn't it? Disregarding some defective applications of the stuff from the factory, is there a consistently noticeable gain from the bother?

For those doing extreme cooling there is a huge gain.

For those using air coolers or AIO water coolers, going after an average 4.8-4.9Ghz overclock, not so worth it.

Post some pictures please when you get it.
 
If you think of it like this. For me in my garage I might buy a cheap jack so I can work on my car maybe a couple of weekends here and there and the jack will hold up fine. A mechanic who works on cars all the time will have a super nice jacks or even a car lift as he will be lifting cars up daily so a quality tool will last longer and might make his job a bit nicer.

In other words for us that bin cpus or bench a lot of cpus we want a quality tool so we can use it over and over with minimal down time and maximum life span. It also has an interchangeable parts so when a new cpu comes out I presume we will just buy a new top rather than a whole tool like a 3d printed one. :) also like people have said you can buy for 60 and sell it for 50-55 then the next guy can sell it for a bit less etc.. Then you all get to use a nice tool.
 
I can understand totally why a bencher who bins cpus would want the expensive version. For the average Joe who changes cpu maybe once every 18 months and may not work with this tool with a new socket it's not.

Yes you could buy and sell the expensive one and lose maybe a tenner but a tenner more and you can have a tool you can keep that should last using a few times.

Who knows though the 3d one could be rubbish and kill my chip. Will wait and see.

I tested Romans on many CPU. Inv 4770K, 3770K and maybe 20+ SKylake all are 100% fine. The company making it are the same company making his Ln2 Pots which are the best Ln2 containers by far. Better than EK etc etc....

Jumpers point is correct who the hell is risking a good CPU with some junk from a 3D printer.

Those breaking CPU like this please dont RMA its warranty void.

You have said that twice now. Are you saying there is warranty if we buy the more expensive tool and for some odd reason it kills a CPU?

It sounds like a bit of a desperate scare tactic tbh.
 
No. As soon as u remove the IHS of any CPU your warranty is void using any item, thats not what I am saying.

I am not using scare tactics I delided a lot of CPU I am just passing on my findings. PCB on skylake is very thin. So extra care is needed.

How many have you printed and used? that would be NON.
You've just lost the point. And that all great and mighty delid has been now done on a 3D printer ;)
And again it's all about the money.
