Well if you don't cAre about the warranty, then it's not an issue. It's not too difficult and took me about 15 minutes to do with a shaving blade. Just be careful to protect your fingers as well as the CPU. It's not as difficult as you think.

Also like I said I used coolaboratory pro between the IHS and the chip. I think it has some fusing possibilities and in time it may actually get fixed to the IHS.

Finally, in all my 15-16 years of playing with components I have had only a single dead CPU, which part died under LN2. I say part died as it would still work on stock settings and would probably give me a blue screen once in 5-10 days. The point I am tryin to make is, if you have a working CPU, unless you mess up the de lidding, it's very rare that you will kill the CPU within the 3 year warranty period. And BTW, I am running the chip with offset at around.85 negative. S basically I am running the chip at 4.5 ghz with lower volts then what it came with.

If you really think, this makes no difference to day to day usage and was done more as an experiment to corroborate findings with the others that have done it.

I have one full tube of coolaboratory pro so i might try, but i have one question for you.

After you delided, can you now use less voltage for same frequency then before delid?

My friend got a decent camera so we decided to take some pics. Check the switchbox build log in the sig below. Things are moving slowly but surely.

I was going to get that board or the MVG, and the MVG's sexy black/red look just won it for me, and the price tag as well being only $140. smile.gif

Nice CPU cooler with a res in the back. smile.gif What waste of a res, send it to me if you aren't going to use it! tongue.gif

I would have gone for the black Vengeance RAM, but looks nice nonetheless.

it's all temporary:
most of the hardware will go into the Switch[Box] (sig) and the blue vengeance ram was temporarily borrowed from a friend for the Water Phantom pics. The res will be used (check build) and the cooler is for backup.

I have an Asus MVG and I have blue vengeance RAM and I love the contrast. Just different I guess, I like having the majority of it black/red and some parts a different color and blue seems the nicest.

Understandable. I just like colors to match and work with one another.
