My first Skylake-X delid! Customer dropped by with one killer rig, including dual Titan XP's in SLI and custom water loop, a build that "had it all" except for a delid. Temps under load testing with a minor overclock and overvolt, were 90c+ !!!

Following the delid, even with more OC and OV, its in the low 60's! Gaming loads are low 50's now! Needless to say he's very happy!

I wondered about de lid.......is it worth it to replace the paste on the actual die

I am highly considering moving to an X299 build.
