i9-9900K Delidding procedure

[SebastianEier]

Hi,

So i am awaiting my i9 9900K (don't get it until November despite early pre-order), and I am a big fan of delidding, i delidded my i5-3570K and saw siginificant thermal benefits, was about to delid my i7-8700K but decided recently to wait it out and sell it to finance the i9 purchase. 

Debauer (de8auer?) showed 8 degrees lower average temperature, which from 90 to 82 degrees, is still a significant thermal gain. Thus I am considering delidding it.

 

But the i9 is soldered, i am experienced in delidding before, but is the procedure different for the i9?

and if so, how/what equipment is needed.

 

thanks in advance

Der8auer shows you how to delid the 9900K in this video.

In both the Gamers Nexus and Der8auer videos they use standard delidding tools. Der8auer notes that it is a bit tougher, and you may need to work it on one side, then work it from the other side, and go back and forth a bit to fully release the IHS.

Check out Der8auers video in which he shows the delidding process (Queued up to the right time for you)

dont forget the part that takes the most work and that is removing the remaining solder.  you have to take a razor and scrape the solder off.  its soft but still takes some time.  you might want to put some LM on the solder and let it set for a day and then scrape becaause LM is supposed to disolve solder a bit or at least weaken it.  then you need to sand down the specs of solder that you couldt just scrape off
