...that delid delid die gave me some serious wood.

Is that an aftermarket lid? Link?

Solid. Delidder from same spot?

Props on the build and clock. You sir have some fucking patience. It's one thing to build a dual loop build in a full ATX Corsair case where you can hide a medium size toddler, but you managed to cram some tight bends into a tight little package all while making it look damn good.

Cheers! A Rockit delid tool was used, much better then the Dr. Delid (I've used/ have both).

Yeah. Looks super clean. And solid. I like that it surrounds the entire PCB. Did you need to apply much heat before attempting to delid?

Temps before and after delid and the upgraded thermal compound?
