What do you guys think about siliconlottery.com?

Right now you can get your cpu delidded, have the VRM's coated with liquid electrical tape, have the stock thermal paste replaced with Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra, and then have the IHS sealed back into place for 29.99. My question is who would do that? Is this site reputable enough to buy from or send in my own cpu to? and is it worth it?

I wouldn't do it unless you're doing extreme overclocking like LN2, Phase Change, or dry ice.

The site looks legit and I think it is because it has https on it which a scam website wouldn't have.

I love their pricing... very exponential!  

 

6600K:

4.6 GHz = $230

4.7 GHz = $240

4.8 Ghz = $270

5.0 Ghz = $680

 

6700K:

4.6 Ghz = $340

4.7 Ghz = $350

4.8 Ghz = $440

4.9 Ghz = $760

Eh, I'd take my chances with the real silicon lottery.

Yeah https doesn't mean it's a safe site, it just means you have a secure connection to it.  Well, in fact...  eh, let's not jump down this hole...

if you do those, you can delid yourself and save on shipping

 

getting a 5960X that runs at 5GHz on 1.3V is dope though...
