Probably a better idea to avoid touching the contacts on the CPU but that's pretty much how it's done.

Mmmkay, and what grit would you say i should start on? I havent come across a article that says.

You can start off with pretty much any medium grit, but make sure it's laid on a flat, even surface such as glass. I suggest starting with something like 800 grit. Then you move on to 1000, 1500, and 2000 grit. I would link you to a better guide, but I'm not sure if that is against the ToS or not.

I wouldn't dare do it at all, would make me very nervous but maybe I'm too cautious in my old age

You can still lap your heatsink if you don't want to lap your CPU.

Can you do both?

Yes, in fact I recommended it. I just said that in case you were afraid of messing up your CPU. You don't have to lap your CPU, but if you can, do it.

Normal razor delidding is only possible on non-soldered on CPUs such as Haswell and Ivy Bridge (not Ivy Bridge-E). There is much more danger in damaging your CPU in delidding compared to lapping, so choose wisely. You can actually delid and lap the IHS to get maximum performance, but Koolance released a bracket that will allow you to cool the CPU die naked (as in no IHS). If I were you, I would run the system first, record temps, lap heatsink, then if temps are not satisfactory, lap CPU, if it's still unsatisfactory performance, delid.

I know normal razor is i was thinking of doing what linus did http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?126707-Intel-IHS-removal...-Any-reason-boiling-water-couldn-t-be-used

 

And i was planning on doing the steps you said any way :D

Hi all,

Hopefully i dont really sound stupid >.< but how do i O/C my pc? gonna assemble my rig tomorrow but i've never o/ced before, coming form a locked pc.

 

Im not sure how the whole process is done.

 

Is there any special things i have to take note for o/cing?

OCing can be done different ways. The most common way is through the BIOS. If you have an unlocked CPU, you simply bump up the multiplier. (Bus speed times the multiplier equals final clock speed). Once it becomes unstable, bump up the voltage ever so slightly.

 

Special things to take note of? Don't rush OCing. Have adequate cooling. Don't jump to any old frequency you want, and don't set any old voltage either.

Before you think about Overclocking, i would firstly get comfortable entering and navigating the BIOS, as this is your greatest friend during manual overclocking.

As for general tips, keep an eye on your voltages, only go up small increments (.05v), similarly, increase your multiplier/core clock slowly and incrementally. There are multiple guides out there, but it's always best to find your own way you're comfortable using.
