LOLZ! ^^^

Unless your using Phase change, and have unlimited access to LN2 there is no profit in it. As said all parts of a build determine and play a factor in weather you will benefit from this or blow your system up. Example PSU, memory, motherboard, etc.
On this KABY LAKE CPU it is shown there is little to no benefit, on other CPU'S it changes. So unless you like tossing $350 into the wind, advice is to not delid them. To even ask shows lack of information, know how, and a reasonable mind.

The New CPU'S SKYLAKE-X that are coming may provide some big fun for certain overclockers..

I gained a good extra 200Mhz and much better thermals out of delidding my Kaby Lake. Plus I never suffered from the "temp spikes" others report. I was on a Noctua air cooler. I think I'm of a reasonable mind, but could be wrong. :laugh:

Certainly no reason to close this, at any rate. Like it or not it's a legitimate debate.

I did, months ago in the CPU-Z thread (it wasn't awesome by the way, it was just 5Ghz). The CPU in question isn't even in my possesion anymore, it was sold just this week.

The only debate is in your mind

I wasn't trying to bait anyone, though that does make sense with the context.

As long as things are kept impersonal I don't think there's a reason to close the thread..

Eh, this isn't meant to sound as passive aggressive as it might sound, but there's a feature that some members might find useful, in the top right you'll see something that says "Unwatch thread".
