Just de lidded my 3770k

very nice results, looks like you could possible go some more yet.

tyvm :D

I'm considering doing this with mine after the initial test. How well does the lid go back on afterwards. Is it just a case of the heatsink holding it down?

thats all iv done but i really cleaned up my cpu as much as poss

im just sorting out my images :)
 
So this is the knife i bought -



it has a very thin blade but still there was only one corner i could get it under to begin with, once it was under i down to the next corner, to the next, to the next.

This were my tools of mass destruction! lol



This is what it looked like once i got the lid off but thats not the end of it



This is what it looked like after a long time spent cleaning it, the silicon is a biznitch to get off the IHS



I used my finger nails to clean off the silicon, it was too dodgy with the knife, it just took a while ;)

If you take a look at where the notch is for the socket locator, notice i did nip the pcb :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

luckily it was the very edge! :eek:
