He was actually really helpful and I appreciate him taking the time to help me. I don't know what your deal is though and "dequalifies" isn't a word.

But you obviously couldn't care less, tbh.

kk sheriff, *disqualifies

Honestly $40 + shipping i'm assuming for a delidded and binned 8700k sounds like a good deal.

Delid is really easy to do yourself (at least on gen8 cpus). And it is alot of fun as well.

Well after a 2 hour OCCT large data run the voltage only averages about 1.274v I never run at %100 for that long. I don't even think I have a game or a program that does other than the stress tests. The FPS stutter I was seeing went away after I turned off Cstates, intel speedshift, and disabled the BCLK spectrum. The lower FPS was just on certain BFV maps that obviously have more buildings and clutter that gets collapsed or otherwise exploded. My settings are all on Ultra except the post processing effects and TAA is low. It actually runs above ~150 ish unless something huge happens. My GPU isn't overclocked further than the stock GPU boost 3.0 speeds. I have the voltage of my 1080FTW2 at %100 and power %120 priority in precision XOC. It runs 2025mhz 212watts max, around ~1900mhz 143watts average, rarely ever hits 68c when I'm gaming. I checked the FPS and more importantly Frametime with XOC HW monitor and it's right on par with where it was before the core clock/voltage changes.

Also the menu lag and frame skips I was seeing in GTAV disappeared with the aforementioned settings turned off. Everything runs smooth now so i'll see how it goes. Also, my AIO is middle tier. 1.4v would melt my CPU in half a skosh. Not even one full skosh. Delid is on the list of things. Voids warranty though so i'm iffy. If a new AIO doesn't fix the temperature issue then I will. I'll probably get the corsairh100i or whatever the 240mm version is like i should've done.

Thank you for your reply

Getting a completely stable OC can take some time if you are unlucky. After my delid I thought it was stable at 5.0ghz 1.35V. I tested everything and it seemed ok and also played games for some time but suddenly my PC froze for 1 sec and then continued to work. After that had happened to me i raised the voltage to 1.36V and haven't had a problem since.

Yea I bumped the cores to 4.6ghz and it just wouldn't stabilize even on 1.3v which is entering nope territory. It would heat up fairly quickly during testing but I was surprised to see the temp differences between 4.5ghz 1.26v and 4.6ghz 1.3v was only ~6c or so under full load at almost 89c on one core. I just can't go over 1.3 safely as far as temps are concerned. When I get the delidding tool i'm going to get the copper IHS kit as well from rockit 88. Probably won't have to switch out my AIO either which will save cash.
