How many degrees celcius drop did you see after delidding? How much more could you overclock to reach the same temperature? Would you say delidding is worth the risk?

no, completely un-necessary, and risky, especially for a first build.

I want to overclock i7 7700k to 6ghz, do I need delidding for this, or will watercooling do?

Based on that review my CPU needs a little more voltage than the ones they tested.

I'm running 1.39 volts to reach 5.0Ghz, with temps as high as 81C. I've been seriously considering de-lidding. Even just the minor drop from re-pasting might be worth it.

do you mean 5ghz?

not 6ghz?

only liquid nitrogen/or other gas

or possibly some very serious phase change is going to get you 6hz
