Der8auer Delid-Die-Mate 2 Integrated Heatspreader Removal Tool

Works exactly as advertised, My I7 7700K was hitting 100°C and throttling at slightly over stock speeds. I definitely got a bad application from factory looking back. I used this and and delided in about 5 minutes, I applied some liquid metal and now my temps under the same load at higher speeds rarely hit 80°C now. It was my first time deliding a processor but it’s super simple. A few YouTube tutorials, this tool, a stiff plastic card I used a old credit card ( for scraping the old silicone off), some nail polish to keep the liquid metal off of conductive things under the IHS and some high temp gasket maker to to seal things back up. If I can do it I know you can. My only complaint is that I don’t have any more CPU’s to use this on. Lol

It works great. This is the best kit for deliding CPU. It is extremely easy to use. It is safer than plastic tools or tools printed on 3D printers. Do not ever use plastic tools to delid a CPU because you will damage your processor and render it useless. This tool is the only safe way if you have to delid your CPU. you cannot go wrong here. The best tool ever.

Please, for the love of everything that is holy. If you are going to delid your CPU, don't get any of these cheap 3D Printed delidders. Just bite the bullet, spend the money, and get a quality product. The threads on this are absolutely spot on and it makes the whole process so much easier than it was for us back in the day when we would have to carefully maneuver a razorblade under the IHS. I'm so happy Der8auer is making the products he is. Using this along with Conductonaut Liquid Metal on the die and Kryonaut as my normal thermal compound has dropped my temps by over 20 degrees on my overclocked i7-8700k. This is with my even bumping the overclock by another 300 MHz, I went from a 4.8 all core OC to 5.1 and after 15 min of Aida64 my temps didn't break 65C.

Bought and used this device to delid an Intel Skylake i7-6700T CPU that was running a little hot. It worked flawlessly. The CPU's heat spreader came right off with a quick snap, without any damage to either heat spreader or CPU. I'll be using this delidder in the future to delid other Intel CPUs that run a little too hot, to replace the cheap Intel thermal grease between the CPU die and the heat spreader with Arctic Silver 5 or liquid metal.

Well built, works nicely. Delidded old 7700k and upgraded “paste” to liquid metal. 20C cooler immediately and able to crank up the overclock to 51 and 104 BCLK (5.3ghz) and it’s (amazingly) solid in 24hr stress tests @ 1.4v and max 83C temps. Runs X-Plane much better than former OC to only 4.8Ghz. Yeah, at that voltage it’s life will be shortened, but it’ll be time to replace the 2017 rig next year - better to burn out than fade away...

This thing works great. I was a little nervous as this was my first delid on my toasty old 7700K but it slid off without a problem. The tool is a little small and was awkward to hold while turning the screw, but totally useable. I don't think I'll ever use it again, but it's worth having around just in case and beats the crap out of using a razor blade.

I dellided it with a first try, really easy, then i took a noctua nth 2 thermal paste to repaste the die and i saw a significant temperature drop, you dont need to reglue it, the socket tension puts enough pressure to it.

I would give 5 stars but the instructions are not good enough for something that could potentially damage a 300 dollar processor. Use YouTube if you don't already know exactly how to use one of these. Once I knew what to do, though, it worked great.
