Delid or nah?

I just recently put together my first Custom Loop and noticed the temperature on my 8700k has not dropped a single degree than from using my 280mm AIO from Corsair (80-83°C Stresstest).
Although the temps on my GPU have dropped significantly. I have 2 rads in the loop, one 420x30mm rad from corsair, and one 280x60mm from alphacool.
The CPU block is the EKWB Nickel plated Copper Classic RGB.
I used the thermal compound provided by EKWB.
Is the only way to drop my temps delidding with liquid metal and undervolting? If so is it really worth buying a delidding tool for 30 bucks, only to use it once and never again?
Thanks alot in advance.

I delidded my old 8600K CPU because I was not satisfied with my OC.
Before the delid I was stable at 4,9ghz running 1,395V with max temps during stresstests was 85C.
After the delid I could increase my OC to 5,0ghz but also lower my voltage to 1,36V.
Despite running a higher overclock my temps dropped to 65-70C max during 8h Prime95.
I can definitely recommend delidding as it is very easy if you buy the correct tool kit.
I was running the same CPU cooler as I am today: Corsair 360mm AIO.
Imo the best thing about delid is that your PC will be more quite as your fans won't ramp up as much.
