INTEL BRING THE BIG GUNS!

What do you use to glue the IHS back down with?

I didn't use anything on my 4770k as it was going to stay in the mobo, I just let the socket hold down plate secure it. If you think you might take the cpu out of it's socket regularly, you can try a dot of superglue at each corner or a tiny amount of rtv at the corners.
 
I was thinking more of installing and uninstalling the cooler, would the IHS not move around and/or get stuck to the cooler? I'd be inclined to secure it first, so hence the question.
 
What material should one use to prevent the components inside the IHS to become in contact with the liquid metal? I've never delidded anything, so I don't know if liquid metal will be the only paste that brings dramatic improvements? Or is it also necessary to scrape the glue off the IHS and PCB?

Thanks :)

I didn't use anything, but some use nail polish. You really shouldn't be using so much of the liquid metal that it can be squeezed out onto the components though.

And yes, you should be removing all traces of the IHS glue/silicone.

Is that possible with the SKL-X CPU, as I thought it wasn't advisable?

It's certainly difficult due to the close proximity of surface mount components, but if you want the best temps, that's what you need to do.

Or Intel could just solder the cpu and save everyone the hassle of delidding a 1700gbp chip, but what do we know.

Well tbf it is probably more of a common perception than maybe some people are willing to admit.
