That's an excellent board! You'll have tons of fun with those.
Good luck and if you delid that chip remember to hold the ihs in place with your finger when pressing on the retention latch in the mobo to press the cpu in the socket. Otherwise it can slide and bend your pins again...

Iknow it's a good board, i already owned it it's thr board thats dead haha. i will be much more careful.

This is why delids aren't as easy as they look and are not reccomended

nothing to do with delidding,
if you spill fluid on ram,
if you dont put back the cpu the right way, and bent pins

not saying delidding is easy,
but theres alot of other things that can go wrong

its easy to say it was because of delidding,
i think if you read through the whole thread,
youll see that it was something else that caused it..

like Leyaena says,

Hope you're luckier next time, if you plan on delidding the next cpu at all!

it start bootlooping, or doesnt boot at all, things like that, if delidding went wrong..

Yeah i see what you mean, i have a picture and have circled where the pins have been bent or "missing" pulled out of socket.
This temps has less volts on overclocks but more higher temps might need to delid

It's weird seeing the same CPU box and motherboard box in my room...

 

[robbo2]

Damn shame to see that awesome board all dead

i averaged a little over 26C temp drop on all 4 cores under Intel Burn Test load. De-lidding works great.

Bummer to the OP.

 

[JTHMfreak]

Ouch, so are you going to try again? Not sarcasm BTW

 

[Kokin]

Ouch

Sorry to see all that sexy hardware go.

I've had my coolant (distilled water + PT Nuke) leak all over my board and ram slots plenty of times while taking my loop apart. I would use a towel or rag to suck up the water and have a hair dryer go over the wet areas for several minutes. Haven't had a problem or any shorting happen despite the 3~4 times it has happened.

It's probably best to take it slow and make sure you put everything back together properly for the next time.

Not to sure yet startef overclocking and i think i have a golden chip...
I'm at 4.4Ghz 1.08v... other CPU was 1.235v
I'm so freaking happy i will post pics after 12 hours

 

[Systemlord]

If you delid again make sure you put back the IHS somewhat centered on the PCB, otherwise the uneven pressure will cause the CPU to tilt to a corner bending the pins!

Sorry to hear of you bad luck, you might want to wait 7 years before another attempt!

Thats great news man ...im happy for you too

curious bout your new chip, looks like a golden one for sure,
4.4Ghz and 1.08v is very nice..

I'm so happy haha, it's been about 40 minutes now lol, i'm off to bed highest temp is 60c though, thinkinking of delidding! Might buy some P4 socket 478's to test on and learn. The problem might have been i was using a box cutter not a razor blade. But it worked better for me.

hahaah! 7 years, no way mate, this chip will be obsolete in 7 years, ill have a think for a of couple of weeks since i really don't want to have to spend another $300 on a CPU!

i used a box cutter to with my delid, it worked well for me

sleep well socks, hope you dream of delidding, great temps, high OC's with low vcore ..lol

o, and it took my about 1 month reading everything about delidding,
watching all vid's i could find about delidding like 10x,
before i actually did it, good prep is soo important ..

the Delidded Ivy Bridge Club is a very good start now, got alot of nice info gathered

 

[Kokin]

4.4ghz on almost stock voltage?

Is that on the stock cooler or with your custom loop?

Sounds a lot better than my 4.5ghz on 1.16v.

 

[SonDa5]

I prefer thin razer blade in hand for delidding.

Feels better in my hand for control. Nice and gentle even pressure at the center of the blade. Start on corners then work around.

It crashed a few hours in so i'm going to say that 1.085V is stable

What is your PLL voltage setting?

I think no lower than 1.55V would be fine but not higher than 1.65v for PLL.

Golden
3770k for certain.

I don't mess around with PLL haha, i leave that on Auto!
I am running a stress test at 5Ghz @ 1.38V now... its 15 minutes in

 

[Socks keep you warm]

Just wanted to let everybody who has had a comment in this thread!
I have successfully delidded my i7 3770K this time!
I am at 5Ghz 1.375V and am not breaking 71C! Where as before i was breaking 85C so its about a 15-20C drop on some cores!
Core 3 was hitting 85C now its hitting 65C!
65C on core 1@ 5Ghz!!
71C on the hottest core i believe i could do better with another Reseat as i put a bit of a big blob on the die!
I am using Gelid GC extreme, as a test i have 5 14G canisters of Arctic Ceramque which i will have a try maybe tommorrow!

Thankyou everyone a very satisfied delidder!

EDIT:: At my normal overclock of 4.4Ghz @ 1.085V i am hitting 47C on the hottest core!
I feel like crying that is how happy I am it only costed me $700 though
