He made it for Skylake but works with the following too. This makes me happy because I've been working up the balls the take the lid off my CPU to put liquid metal on it because Intel being the cheap cunts they are used a shit ass thermal interface on a 320 dollar CPU.

compatible to Ivy Bridge, Haswell and Devils Canyon.
so just using a razor blade is too oldschool and you should buy a 70 euro tool for it?
The newer trick is using a table vice to pop the cap as your'e a lot less likely to scratch the PCB with a razor.
Also the price is as it is because he's only made 20 of them as a first run, once it starts becoming more popular and more people buy it the price will go down. It's a very niche product but, the way I look at it, I can try it myself with whatever I have around me and fuck up my 320 dollar CPU or I can just get this and not fuck up my CPU. Plus you could always pop up an ad to pop the caps for people for a small fee.
No need for delidding Ivy Bridge unless someone is trying out some super-cooling solution for ridiculous overclocking. Haswell on the other hand.....................

Ya I'm thinking about getting it for mine (Devil's Canyon) I guess there's a few out there that won the thermal lottery but I sure as hell didn't. Saw someone who de-lided his and used the liquid metal and temps dropped like 15C under heavy load.
and whats the benefit of that? the cpu might live a few years longer, but that doesnt matter cause its in the trash before it even nearly could reach the end of its life. and for normal overclocking its useless as well, or lets say it doesnt justice the amount of work and money you have to put in

I used the vice only(no banging against the wood block) method on my devil canyon, scariest thing i have ever done to computer hardware, i never tought you need so much pressure to pop it, i tought cpu will explode and i'll go blind
Anyway worked out just fine and saved about 10C(including lapping).
Main reason i did it was the sound, i don't want to hear my computer at all even when gaming and i have practically achieved it. DS Cube case with 2 AIO-s(cpu+gpu) and lots of noctua fans.

Yes its needed, especially for the 3770K.
That's a new one. The Ivy's are known to be cool (no lid-bonding issue as with Haswell and newer).
No, they're really not. Ivy-bridge processors are *infamous* for their high temperature and low overclocking potential, blamed largely because of the really poor TIM under the heatspreader.

Hmmm, strange. Then Sandy was the last CPU (very overclockable) with proper soldering TIM. Can't say I have any issues with my 3570K but then it's the i5 non-HT version compared to i7 3770K. I keep mine at 4.5GHz with a Corsair H100i and temps/stability have never been a problem.
EDIT: I googled and it seems you're right; Ivy Bridge was the CPU where Intel tried saving money by using TIM-paste instead of soldering TIM between CPU and lid.
Yeah, it was Ivy that restarted the delidding craze as the TIM was supposedly awful and the procs themselves put out more heat than the previous gen :\ That's not to say there are no clockable Ivy procs, that would be lunacy to claim that, but there are exceptions in every case - and my Sandy is one of them. Everyone and their grandmother is getting 4.5-5Ghz+ on their Sandy procs, but oops.. I just happened to get one that can't do more than 4Ghz without constant, random, BSODs relating to power.

because I love overclocking and seeing how fast I can push my stuff. Right now I'm stuck at 4.5ghz and can't go anymore on my 4790k because the temps get so bad. If I get that 10-15C drop in temps I can push it just that much further.
