Surface Mount ...Die? Discrete (electronic components?) Dolmen? Derrida? Nevermind you called it a CPU rather than a processor so that you're disassembling a -unit-, or topping the lid with a bit of a certain solder ball/flux formula and 4 bimetal thermocouples, you can't dial in what a tight melty force measures? De-lid with max awkwardness!

With Intel in a bad spot these days, I think them creating a new product series selling extreme enthusiast segment processors that come from the factory without heat spreaders for a premium would be a smart move. The warranty would reflect that physical damage to the die from user error would not be covered.

With the heat appraently not an issue to Arrow Lake as the Alder Lake to Raptor Lake genearations, how about not delidding them at all? I don't even see why would you want to delid that except for LN2 overclock attempts..

Also with that TSMC style hard clock limit, what are you going to gain? 16MHz?

"So, to help fellow enthusiasts, some manufacturers, like EKWB and even der8auer (in partnership with Thermal Grizzly), have built delidders to make the process safer and easier."

Who is writing this stuff. This line almost looks like a AI took some data and attempted to rephrase it. I am pretty sure der8auer (ie roman) actually owns thermal grizzle, I though it was a 50-50 thing with another guy. EKWB I think licensed the ability to put the der8auer logo on their delidder but that has been revoked with all the stuff going on with EKWB. I seriously doubt EKWB has a delidder for the new intel cpu. Last I saw they have all their bank accounts frozen and their main design people have left because they were not getting paid. Highly unlikely they had the money to develope a new product.

Way better lap the cpu to try destroy it with heat... My heatsink here is lapped when sit on the lga 1700 only touch the sides of the cpu...

Hobbys and just people wanting to do everything possible to get as much performance as they can.
