Was it worth a delid?

As title says. Video should give the info.

Boots up at 5.7 ring 5.3. i'm just too much of a chicken to run R23 with the voltage it sucks. I dont want to destroy it. At 5.5GHZ Max temp is 75ish but load vcore 1.4v. Would love to see the potential of this chip under LN2 but too late I guess.

Well You see I would have agreed delid is usually never worth it but i have decided to stick with this CPU for another 6 years or so. Also I VR DCS and MFS2020 which i belive make use of fast cores. Now i'm aware 12gen+ AMD Zen 5 will eat 10900k for breakfast but I just want to get the most for my money out of it performance and longevity. So prior to delid my temps were 75-80 degrees @ 5.3GHZ, However at 1.3ishv under load. Now it pull just shy of 1.3V in R23.

I want to run 5.5GHZ all core, however whats unusual is that under sustained load @ 5.3GHZ for about 15min of gaming (only happened in cyberpunk 2077) my computer will just turn off/restart with no warning. All temps GPU/CPU are more than fine. I kept the side cover off took off the grills upped the fans to max and the issue is gone. I wonder if VRM's have a max safe temp limit before the cause this shut down issue?I dont think Ram could cause this? It is set at 1.55V with timmings as tight as a ducks as*

Timmings as shown. I know people dont tend to use XTU to show timmings. These timmings were set in bios not in XTU. Also you can see the temps I had prior to delid. So a drop of 20ish degrees isn't too bad.
