^ no. it's held by cheap disgusting cement-like thermal paste or so that's what i see when people delid 3770 4770 4790

http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/intel-core-i7-5960x-de-lidded-haswell-e-uses-soldered-tim,3.htmlFor its most powerful Haswell-E based processors Intel will use Soldered TIM based on a strong epoxy. OCDrift discovered that when they removed (read forced off) the heatspreader. Beneath the adhesive layer that secure the IHS to the package, Intel soldered the chips die to the IHS with a strong epoxy.

Hey, that won't stop an enthusiast with a mission!
very tiny soldiers, problem is they revert to regular size after 60 minutes. also, soviets.No, you don't want to delid it. It's held by soldier, and thus doesn't have the gap that made delidding popular on mainstream Ivy Bridge and Haswell CPUs. Not only do you not need to delid it, but doing so will rip the CPU die from the PCB and destroy your CPU. Not can, but will. Again, DO NOT DO THIS! You don't ever delid X-platform CPUs because they are soldiered, and that's why you can't find tutorials. If you're not satisfied with your overclocking results right now, you can MAYBE try lapping it, but you really should just deal with it instead of getting greedy.
Thanks. So I was thinking to sand down the lid CAREFULLY, then apply liquid pro then put a new cpu lid on. Do you guys think it will improve my oc results? Or soldier > liquid pro.
