Ivy my CPU seems good! should i delid it?

That's a top notch 3770k
I remember eyetrip having a similar clocking 3770k, he delidded and killed the chip

The differences in temperature will only start showing the higher in voltage you climb, If you've got big balls, do it.

I dont mind doing it, but ive just had a look at the cpu and i cant even get a razor blade under any part of it, its right against the CPU PCB. It seems the only way with a razor blade is to try and get under ICH but you would have to angle down which means possible PCB damage!


I did have a look at the hammer method, but what i dont get with that is if you squeeze ICH in a vice hard enough not to have the CPU ping off across the room, surely it would bend it a little, so when you come to refit the ICH its no longer flat!

Iam gona have to think about this a bit as there is no point in digging lumps out of the PCB trying to get under it with a razor blade, I also dont want to put a curve in the ICH in a vice!


I also dont want to bugger up a good CPU lol
 
don't use a razor blade!! its too flimsy

here's how I did it in this thread

and the pcb will actually bend a lot as you do it

its not a razor blade from a razor as such, its the blades with the metal edge that you hold, quite stiff the blade is. and as for the hammer and vice method, dont worry iam not doing that either. I just could not see how i could get under the ICH as its so tight against the PCB.
