Does Deliding shorten CPU lifespan?

[farmfowls]

I was considering buying a delided CPU off of SiliconLottery.com and was just wondering if deliding shortens the length of time the CPU will run/live. Or if it has the chance of doing so. Like would I be splitting the life of the CPU in two if I go with Silicon Lottery?

you will loose warranty. And silicon cpu's are OC'd, and require solid cooling. IF you have enough cooling then it does not matter much. Might be even better as its liquid metal will keep cpu nice and cool.
also keep in mind that some mistakes happen and you might get scratched cpu, it might work just fine for a year, or 10. all depends on this little details when they delid.

Silicon guys are experts on this thing, if you want delided, its best place to search.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from farmfowls : "Buy a 8700k off of SiliconLottery.com or not?"

I've finally decided on a 8700k as my next CPU and was about to get one off of Amazon when I heard about SiliconLottery.com. Or rather I recalled them and started to look a little deeper into them. With their services, I can pick up a binned, delided 8700k for pretty much a $100 price premium. I would also lose the 3 year manufacturer warranty from Intel obviously but get a 1 year warrant from them.

I was just wondering if anyone has ever used SiliconeLottery before or if they think this would be a good idea or not. I've heard Linux mention them I think and a few other well known YouTubers.

Personaly im against deliding, but if if in process of deliding nothing is damaged i do not see why would deliding itself shorten lifespan of CPU, but normaly people who delid also OC CPU witch can shorten its life if its done wrong.Silicon lottery has good reviews on internet.

Why do you want to delid 8700K ?

De-lidding is more for thermal management for overclocking. Voltage is what kills a CPU, not necessarily heat which is the point of de-lidding and fixing what Intel failed to do. Both are directly correlated of course when it comes to overclocking success (stability), but voltage is the lead cause of degradation, not heat as long as said heat is within Intel specs for that chip.

Why do you want to delid 8700K ?

I'm more worried about temps than anything when OC'd.

A "delid" should be the last thing you consider doing.

If you're already on the hairy edge of OC
and if you've explored all other cooling options
and if the only reason you can't increase your OC magic number is because it is actually thermal throttling...

Then you might consider delidding it.
