Looking into de-lidding my 6700K. At the moment I'm running a 4.7GHz overclock, but I'm wondering if I can reduce voltage if I manage to also reduce temps. (It's presently requiring 1.312Vcore to be stable at 4700, and crashes under stress at 4800)
I know there are lots of options available for delidding. The Rockit88 seemed like the best choice at first, but shipping from the USA to the UK is literally as much as the cost of the tool, so I'm loathe to pay that much for something I'll likely only ever use once, and that might not even give me a huge benefit, given my mild overclock and potentially not-so-great silicon.
The De-Lid Die Mate is available from OCUK but they're having supply issues and don't have an ETA on new stocks yet, so that's also out.
eBay has plenty of 3D Printed Delidding tools around but I have no idea how safe they are. There's also always the razorblade or vice methods, but skylake in a vice is dangerous and razorblades are definitely risky too.
Are there any other options? How good are the 3D printed tools?
