CPU Fan running at 100% above 75°C

Yeah, 1.408v at 5 GHz is pretty high. No doubt that you'd drop some voltage required with a delid.
I can appreciate your position and completely understand the concern with damaging your CPU. I can tell you that with the right tool, it's fool proof. I use a Delid-Die-Mate and it's too damn easy and very safe. I resealed my current chip, so as far as anyone could tell, it's a stock 7700k complete with the black silicone and all.
As far as if there's much benefit. Hell yes!! Voltage and temperatures will drop. The voltage drop will depend on how bad your factory TIM and gapping (between die and IHS) were, but the temperature drop will always be dramatic to the tune of 20c+. Like I said, I've delidded 8 of them and not one has gotten less then a 20c max temp drop and some were closer to 30c.
If you are worried about breaking it, which is VERY unlikely with the proper tool, then consider sending it off to Silicon Lottery to have him delid it for you. I think he charges $50 for it.
I just finished this 8 hour test a few minutes ago. I would say it's worth it.
I don't know what to think of this... How can Intel be cheaping out on thermal paste when the CPUs cost $400+...
I might look into delidding it some time in the future! As of now, I guess I'll just have to be okay with the 4,8GHz I get and that's it. It's not like the CPU would be slow by any means!
Anyways, thanks for your help and tips!
