Hi guys I dont have a prob but still ima lil bit confused. I have a i7 6700k oc with 4.5 ghz at 1.32 vcore. My CPU is delidded and I got liquid metal inside and outside^^, before i did this my temps were with 4.4 ghz at 1.29 vcore on load at 70-75c now its reaching 55-61, and now the thing which is confusing me, my cooler. Its only a Alpenföhn Sella xD how can this be, does it really improve that much? Or is it false temps?
-Room temps 25c
-8gb ram
-980 ti oc
-MSI z170a PC Mate
-1TB SSHD Seagate
peace out from Germany and ty 4 help.

Yup, It really does make that much of a difference, Intel messed up with the ihs height, way too much of that black glue that holds the ihs down, actually held it too high above the die, not making proper contact.

When I delidded my Haswell, it was overclocked to 4.4ghz, 1.35v, it used to hit about 93oC in prime95, after delidding it and using liquid metal ultra, it never went over 65oC, ever!!! And too this day, they've still not learned, still pulling the same trick with kaby lake cpus years later, and even the new i9 chips are the same.

The problem for most, is you can live with the stock Temps which are ridiculous high, or you can risk killing your cpu, defo void your warranty and delid it to get sensible Temps.
