I'd actually original made a request for a new one before I'd looked in the CPU box 
But I found it before they replied lol.

Don't use Cedar, using wood designed for Cedar Mill will cause issues with Haswell.
To those who get it; I do apologise
mine was just pushed in the bottom of the big bround box my ocuk order came in I'm guessing the person taped up the box and then realised he didn't stick one in, partially sticking out the side of the box or I wouldn't have known it was there because the bottom flaps would have been hiding it and I likely would never have checked
A little reminder to all who are looking into delidding Haswell, those little capacitors next to the die can EASILY be taken off. Here is a dead one already with 2 capacitors chipped off:
Just be careful. With Ivy Bridge the Razor method is decent as long as you're careful, with Haswell you can easily nick one off being too rough or cutting too deep. Go for the vice method with Haswell!

I find the idea of hitting my new 4670K with anything rather distressing . I won't know how toasty it gets until tomorrow as I have to many things to do this evening. Can't complain though, as one of them involves replacing our led tv with a Panasonic plasma 
.
I am hoping my Titan Fenrir Evo will do the job with a 4.2Ghz overclock for now. Stock would probably do with a 560ti at 1680x1050 res though.

You'd be putting the whole cpu under some pretty heavy pressure for too long that way - the fast-hit method cracks the glue off without unduly stressing the rest of the cpu.
Stick a steak knife in the side where the resistors aren't, twist it 90 degrees to lever IHS off, profit.
My ex mother in law could bite that off,no need for a vice
Infact she'd be able to eat a doughnut n ride her broom at the same time!
On a serious note,just ordered a 4770k along with everything else for my first pc build in what feels like 20 years
If there's a haswell capable of hitting 95 at stock!
You can rest assured I'll get it

It might look more fun having a pinball style striker but I think gradual pressure increase is the way to go.
@nkata that's what I meant,something you could clamp slowly to prise the cap off
I wouldn't have the big tall notch the left hand side tho,just high enough to hold the cpu pcb

Then offer a delidding service, seems better than putting it in a vice and hitting it!
