Delidding a 1800X

So my latest project has been delidding a 1800X and putting it in the extreme cold outside with a open loop cooling and this is the results. I overclocked it to 5.5 GHz with a 1.41v. I put liquid metal when I delidded it and did manage to bend a few pins when I did so but they are fixed. Temps were 20c during this whole test, and I was able to play a few games outside with a 15 fps boost. This was paired with a gtx 1070 by EVGA.
 
So it is soldered on, you would need to heat the CPU in a toaster oven to melt the solder, then quickly but carefully use a proper delidding tool to remove the heat spreader.

You will honestly not see any difference in temperatures and overclocking ability since it is soldered and not using a thermal paste.

It was difficult, hince why I bent pins. I didnt find much of a difference, but the weather outside did help in the overclocking.

You did not get an 1800X to 5.5GHz at 1.41V. This is impossible.

Lying is civil. :??:

Why are you under this impression? It would do better. About 5-10C on average.

Im not lying I was outside and yes soldering does do a better job, I just did it for the giggles.

Dude, if you got an 1800X to 5.5 freaking GHz at only 1.41V, you have the best chip in the entire world, no matter AMD or Intel. This is likely very false. Check again.
