I'm not an expert at delidding, never bothered with it myself, but the core looks fine to me. The bare copper on the side is kinda worrisome, though. It most likely is just the ground-plane and I doubt there's any traces running so far, close to the edge on the top-layer, so it is probably still fine. Might not be a good idea to have the IHS touching that part directly, though, so maybe cover it with a layer of clear nail-polish or something similar.

How about posting a couple of better pictures?

Me neither, unless it's as an exercise before delidding something far more expensive. Practice never hurts, so that'd still be a valid reason.

Nail polish wont help here. you will have to apply direct heat which will probably kill it.

id say do your best to gently scrape it off with a plastic spudger or a silicone one.. and then apply thermal paste or liquid metal.

Scrape off the copper-layer? What are you talking about? The copper-layer is an inherent part of the damn CPU, you can't go scraping it off.

Well i did heat the cpu up with a heat gun to a high temperature to melt the solder so it could be dead also hence the burnt pcb

i meant the solder not the copper layer.

I was talking about the exposed strip of copper on the side, where the IHS was glued to the PCB and stripped a portion of the solder-mask with it, when OP delidded the CPU.

just try to keep your blade at the side of the ihs and Not the pcb. that exposed copper looks quite painful
Dont use super sharp objects and dont go too deep in

The heat wont kill the cpu unless it was accessive. 

I use a soldering torch to delid processors. Been doing this as common practice since about 09.

 

If you ever get the itch to delid, look me up. Will be happy to give tips and tricks.
