Hi guys, i have a question... Is a good idea to make delid on my i5 4590? I use it to play in 1080p but i'm having temps of 50-56 C playing Battlefield 1. My CPU cooler is an NZXT Kraken x31 but i don't now if i need to make a delid to reduce the temps of my CPU

I wiill wait your answers

Just to throw out some numbers:

The current system is running at 50-56C
Going through the hazardous and potentially CPU destroying process of delid, and getting it all put back together correctly, you might see temps in the range of 42-48C.

What has that gained you?
Exactly zero for performance. The system was not temperature limited int he first place.
The only thing you get to do is brag to your friends that 1. You did it, and 2. Your temps are X...slightly lower than before.
