It seems as though Intel are using rubbish TIM between the IHS and die again, an 18c drop in temps once the delid procedure has been performed, click HERE for more details.
 
That's some seriously poor thermal transfer with the stock TIM. Apparently the temp went from -145C to +20C under load under LN2. +20C load temp under LN2(?!) no doubt with quite a bit of voltage but jeez that's bad.
 
.also using new much thinner PCB so vice only and maybe hammer and vice are not an option anymore...

People will crush the die.

Pentium IIIs were shipped with no IHS, but the die wasn't fragile.

I managed to do that back in the day on my AMD Duron 600. Luckily it was just the corner of the die and it still worked, which was fortunate as the chip was a gem. It hit 1100MHz!
 
this de-lid on skylake seems to be very easy, there are no surface mount transistors/resistors/diodes to risk getting lopped off, so its a minimal risk job.
will be worth doing.

Really? Running a 6700k just now with a H100i GTX cooler, really happy with it all but would love to see how far I could push this - but I've never delidded before. Is there any good guides, I know what to do but just never done it before and dont want to make any mistakes - as at £320 a pop it's not exactly cheap.

I think there was a guide link somewhere in one of these Skylake threads. Anyway, best way to learn I'd say is try to get a few cheap previous gen cpus and practice. That way if you fail it won't cost you too much.

I have an old chip QX6850 that's been sitting unused in a broken system. Could practice on that? Or is it soldered?

That will be a soldered chip.

Apparently they've had issues with solder adhesion and cracking on theese smaller die chips.
