So I have read this article: http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/intel-skylake-de-lidded.html . The gains seem to be pretty big. Add in watercooling and this could make a huge difference.
I am wondering why not run it naked with a copper shim? The IHS/TIM seems to be very poor on skylake. I need to find out the thickness of the IHS and look into a copper shim for my waterblock. Or if just replacing stock TIM in IHS will be good enough.
Delidding looks really easy this time around. Will not be the first time I have delidded or lapped a CPU. Nice thing about skylake is all the components other than the cpu have been moved back to the board so no chance of accidentally razoring off a component hidden under the IHS.
Thoughts?
