With the paper launch of the new Coffee lake CPUs and Intel’s stubbornness to continue to use TIM instead of soldering has caused a major issue for many consumers. Delidding is nothing new, however, up to this point, it has been a procedure that has been conducted only by end clients, with just Intel’s latest arrangement of Kaby Lake and Skylake-X series CPUs making this procedure broadly accessible from retailers over the globe with pre-binned overclocking values.
With pretty poor thermal performance and lack of normal supplies, Caseking with the help of Der8auer have taken delidding to a whole new level, not only delidding their Coffee Lake CPUs to replace Intel’s included thermal compound but also taking some more extreme measures to ensure optimal thermal performance at high clock speeds.
