im looking to delid my cpu when I watercool,

whats the best paste to use? was thinking to use Gelid?

but now seen this new thermal grizzly lol so will give that a shot most likely,
not sure on the cool labs liquid as I don't feel like wrecking the die?

also when deliding, should I been doing anything else ?
 
You aren't going to run it naked are you? Mine had much higher temps naked than with the IHS back on and I am not the only one to have found that out. I have CLP between the die and IHS (put some nail varnish on the rox of chips alongside the die as you can short them out with the Coolaboratory stuff) and Gelid Extreme GC4 between the IHS and block. I also lapped my IHS while it was off as it was very concave. It's glued back on now using liquid gasket.
 
Use the cool labs liquid metal stuff on the die otherwise its not worth it and then something like gelid extreme on the IHS and you will see 15-20c temp drop ;)
