Delidding LV type Haswell

[Ruoh]

I'm contemplating going with the following setup:

i5-4570S - Delidded/crap paste removed
Noctua NH-C14
Asus Maximus Impact

Some sort of ITX case

I'll be re-using the reset of my components in sig. I'm hoping to retain a similar level of performance in a much smaller, power efficient package. What say ye, gurus of the CPU? Will I be able to eek out very low CPU temps?

I do not think you will need to delid (even though you are going to use itx) since you will not be overclocking.

At first I expected you to loose performance but it looks like these are around the same performance to favoring the underclocked / undervolted haswell i5.

It's not about getting rid of excess heat, it's about maximizing the removal of what little heat there is, if that makes sense. Also, I'm not currently overclocking my 2500k.
