It's really not worth the effort to delid if it's even possible. Doesn't add any real value.

Possibly better off selling the GPU separately.

What temps do you see? 

 

You sure its thermal?

 

It shouldn't do this, check the mounting pressure.

Is the APU something you were going to throw away anyways or is it actually your main PC?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
