Is that likely? I mean why would OCUK take the risk?
It's not viable, if they break one who pays for it not Intel.

Being a company they would also have to offer limited warranty on delidded chips. That could get quite expensive if they started to fry.

That's if I can get my PC stable first 
Seems to be breaking at stock, I've downclocked it and it's running fine, but don't want to do too much on the stock cooler.
Once I get time, I'll be pushing it though.

Back in the old days OcUK did lots of modified CPUs, soldered mods etc. IIRC Spie (and Peter) started Overclockers/Mllenium as selling Modified (soldered) and pre-tested CPUS with guaranteed overclocks in the K7 Athlon era.
Yes, a few
At 4.4Ghz:
Battlefield 3 MP full 64 player map: 56% Load, 48°C
Supreme Commander 2 SP 4v4 Large Map: 20% Load, 40°C
PlanetSide 2 Busy Area: 30% Load, 43°C
Those three games are ludicrously smooth to play.
I'll update with more games as I get around to playing them, and perhaps later at different overclocks if I have the energy.
Yep those temperatures are within what I am getting 4.4 ghz 1.193v.
edit: using Noctua NHU12S (push only) - Silverstone TJ08-E

Dog chip as expected.
4.6GHZ @ 1.4v at ~90c.
That's under my water too, so pretty ludicrous.

Thermochill PA 120.3, EK Supreme HF.
Push/Pull.
Not entirely sure it's stable at stock to be honest.
It actually crashed idle at 1.4v at 4.6GHZ.
And I'm not pushing more volts into it, that was literally for 15 minutes.

Pump? anything else on the loop? air blocks? and what fans?
90c for a waterloop says something is wrong with your loop tbh, you shouldn't be seeing temps like that from a GPU, let alone a cpu.
There's a limit to what a custom loop will cool even after de-lidding to hit a stable 4.6ghz and above.
Would a small chiller[Waterchiller Hailea Ultra Titan 200/HC150=165Watt cooling capacity) say cooling a Reservoir of 5 litre's or so be the way to go. The custom loop using that rather than the chiller being in the loop, just a thought as l'm not really clued up on chiller's.
