8700k Delid

[aeon187]

Should I?

i de lidded my 7700K and it was worth it for me, about 20 degrees C worth it, don't know if you get the same temp drop on a 8700k though

If you're comfortable with the idea of voiding your warranty, dealing with liquid metal, and potentially dropping your load temperatrues by ~15 degrees, then yes. Otherwise no.

if you are willing to risk it, loose your warranty pay for the deliding tool sure, if not don't.

I read only ~30 degrees, Can you recommend a kit?

I used the Delid-Die-Mate 2, very easy. But as said above, 30 degrees is a bit too high of an expectation, 10~20 degrees is more typical, it was 15 for me using Realbench and a H100i v2 with "out of the box" settings on an Z370i ASUS board.

I used the Rockit 88, worked great, used it to glue the IHS back in the right position also

I've delidded a 7700K and a 8700K using the delid-die-mate-2, so far no deaths (1 year for 7700K) and the 8700K survived a plane flight in a system. Sky-Kaby-Coffee Lake are super easy to delid as they don't have any components on the PCB surface.

1- Do you have a Silicone thingy to recommend?

 

2- How long should I wait before considering deliding?

once, and it becomes more likely when you delid it as it is not hard to short or damage something when you do it,
