There is little reason to delid a 4790 if its not overclockable. It's a locked CPU I believe.I don't want to overclock it, I just have common sense and know that eventually the TIM between the die and the IHS will go bad, and why not go ahead and get lower temps by removing the IHS anyway?

I haven't seen any stories about how the TIM has gone bad from anything I've seen. Just my thought. If you want to, go for it.Think of it this way, thermal paste dries up doesn't it? Same thing could happen between the IHS and the CPU die if it has thermal paste.
It's a sealed environment, I doubt it'll dry up, but you could do it when it comes to that time when the temps are climbing.

The heat from the CPU still plays a factor in drying out the thermal snot.

yeah I extremely doubt that is even necessary to do especially to a locked cpu anyway, hundreds of millions would need to get new cpus. I haven't heard of any overclocked ivy bridge cpus drying up yet and they're going on ~2 years old nowmy 3570k has been running since may 2012, on air at 4.3, temps are still stable, so neither chip to ihs or ihs to hsf is drying up yet.
