Ok I have some NEWS for all those that are considering flipping the lid on their i5's/i7s 
I asked in intel live chat what would happen if I sliced the die under the Intel Insurance and this was the response: (posting full conversation)
Joy: Hi there! Thank you for using the Intel Customer Support chat service. We are glad to be of service. How can I help you today?
: I was wondering about the Intel Insurance for the K series of processors. I understand that it covers "if something goes wrong" whilst overclocking. But I would like to know if it also covers the removal of the Intergrated Heatsink part of the processor at all?
Joy: I see. It will cover one time deal for a processor replacement regardless its fault.
: So say I removed the Intergrated Heatsink and sliced the processor Die by accident so long as I returned the chip with the IHS still readable I would be able to claim it on my insurance?
Joy: As mentioned, regardless of its fault and as long as you have the insurance then you can ask for a replacement.
: Ok thanks for the help
So. If you get covered by the insurance you could run your CPU over with a car and Intel don't give a ****

Nice,should be seeing more ppl slice open their IB's
for £15 a one time £200~ chip who can argue if you mess up? xD
Interesting info Ollie.
And just after decided wouldn't remove IHS because of warranty void...
Might have a chat with them too, and see if I get the same response from someone else.
Maybe a few other people could too?
Might be a while before I do it though, as am actually back to running everything at stock

I wondered why our house lights went a bit brighter last night at around 8:00pm, is that when you decided to return back to stock and thus put that extra power back into the national grid...?
Just as a note - why have you given up or are you just having a break for a while..?
Need a break, and not really doing anything just now that requires the extra oomph.
Plus, all this PC meddling is a way to keep myself distracted from stress in my life - Until this morning I thought the stress had abaited, but alas, no, so might carry on regardless...
I c wat u did there
Started having some stability issues to the point where I reset the Bios and started again. My 2133MHz RAM was causing issues so I've locked it at 1600 and I finally have a stable platform for overclocking. Got my system stable at 4.8GHz at a lower Vcore this time so slightly lower temps. 4.9GHz is still out of reach until I flip my lid.
I still dont get how they are saying the tuning protection covers lid flipping being as it says it wont cover any physical damage at all.
Its alright some customer webchat saying its ok but surely the Terms and conditions of the policy supersedes this?
