that's supposed to be used with liquid metal. I guess removing the IHS is going to become a popular thing in short order!

I have done a lot of weird things over the years de-lidding is not one of them.

Didn't intel revert back to soldering on the IHS? I de-lidded a 4790k because it was easy due to just having thermal interface, but if a chip's IHS is soldered I wouldn't chance it IMO.

Oh and there are places that used to bin and de-lid for a fee but moment I saw the pricing I ignored the idea. So you can buy them just not from Intel/AMD.

i have and pretty sure i nuked a 14900K, but iv learned to slow down leat heat soak for more then 5-10 seconds. @Izerous Sillicon Lottery was on place but dont think they in business anymore,

My friend already got one. Performance is quite good. Very stable Temps across cores

the fact that it takes a chicklet sized die and gives it a 200% increase in surface area really helps. thankfully i was able to cancel my EK order and get a refund before it imploded.
