Lots of guys who have De-lid their chips are saying that their OC ceiling strangely drops once they remove the IHS. As in you get lower temperatures but you cannot overclock as high.

Very strange, ya.
Remember that Prime and benches that run the AVX instruction set will cook IVy, but games and every day stuff, including encoding, will be 20'c cooler.

Has anyone tested this theory in opposite order? Seems most are getting their max overclock (and possibly causing damage) and then they're delidding and getting a lower clock. Has someone delid and ran with no IHS first, and then put that back on to see if the overclock does in fact go up?
