I did a delid on my 4770K a while back and got great results. I used liquid metal pro between the IHS and core plus I used Liquid metal pro between the IHS and heatsink. A year later I sold the setup and ended up replacing the Liquid metal pro. I could see where it kinda etched the IHS a little which required me to sand flat again. Overall nothing major and system functioned perfectly. Sold it to a buddy and we used an H105 to cool it with great results. Is this still the same method used? I know some don't use Liquid metal pro between the IHS and heatsink. It works very well when I have used it so I am probably going to do it again. I will be doing it to the rig in my sig. I don't expect performance gains just the fun of the chase for a higher OC and a friendly competition with a coworker who has a 6700K on water. We plan to do some benches to see who's PC is faster.. trying to convince him mine will hang just fine but to make sure I can do as well as possible I want to push it as high as it will go.

Are you and your coworker going to use the same RAM? If not, make sure you get faster RAM for a small edge in benchmarking :D

Kinda stuck using what I have but he has also never overclocked before.. I have always done it in the past for him.. I said he is on his own for this little competition lol. He already tried the Asus auto OC and it put him at 4.9ghz and then it crashed over and over LOL. So he is going to have to figure it out on his own.. I suspect he will get a mild OC out of it. He has 2666mhz ram and is on an H105 AIO water setup. His temps are pretty good compared to mine and I have hit 4.8ghz with mine pretty much stable but could not keep the cooling under control.. I think it took about 1.32V to get 4.8ghz stable but some test would put me over 100C and throttle. If I could get a 15C or so drop in temps I should be good.
 
Ended up with 4.7ghz @ 1.28V with a peak temp of 82C so I didn't even bother to delid the CPU.. 4.8ghz took more voltage than i wanted to run daily.. I think I can take him at this speed lol

Your results will very widely on the delided temp changes. I had a few g3258's (3 to be exact) 2 of them got a 5-7C drop load and 2-4c drop idle with both at 4.4ghz @ 1.23v(on custom loop) 1 of them got 0 change in temps but allowed me to go 200mhz higher on the OC with the same temps. My 4690k sig rig is delided and I got a 10c load drop with a 5-8c idle temp drop (also custom loop). Honestly, for the extra edge and potential benefit. I would delid :D
 
Well crazy thing is I thought it was stable and ran some more tests and failed.. I got 4.6ghz @ 1.26V completely stable.. when I enable Adaptive voltage the voltage never spikes over 1.3V which is right in the safe range I wanted to be in. Temps were like 80C at this setting.. may go water soon and if I do I may do a delid then and try to squeeze more out of it..

Like to try this but kinda of paranoid :(

I did one and it wasn't bad.. I followed the videos and the vice plus hammer method.. now the best method seems to be vice only which is funny because when I had first hooked in my CPU I had it off set and then I thought this would be a great way to remove the IHS .. I laughed and went back to the method I was attempting only to find out much later that is the best method lol.
 
I did this with the razor method 4x tried my first one on a g3240 next on a g3258 then another g3258 and lastly I got the guts to tear apart my 4690k and I have to say. Its pretty easy as long as you are careful! Nothing new from the 4770k to my knowledge.
