Skylake Delid Fail?

[Rysckz]

First off, specs:
6600k
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD3
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb @ 300MHz

So here's my problem, I delidded my CPU and I though everything was fine. No major incidents to speak of, I couldn't find any sratches on the dye or the PCB. Put everything back together and when I try to start the PC, it turns on and off rapidly. Not even a second interval. When I first tried it the first time this would go on until I turned it off.
I went back in, reseated the CPU and cooler, tried again, this time it turned itself off after a few seconds. I made sure that no thermal paste was touching the PCB. I'm at a loss here, I tried unplugging everything except the 24 pin and the 4 in from the motherboard and still the problem persists.

Yeah, that CPU is probably broken. Delidding is a high risk procedure, and you can break the CPU easily, even if you do it right. It really isn't worth delidding with Skylake as when it comes to overclocking you're more likely to run into the voltage wall before you run into thermal problems.

The force needed to remove the IHS could have caused internal connections to become damaged, even with no visible indication. Other than trying basic boot troubleshooting, you can almost guarantee its due to a failed delid. (Did you try it before removing the IHS?)

Yeah, it was working beforehand

You could always try to make it look like it was never dellided, and sent it back to Intel under warranty. Just don't mention you dellided it 😉

Also, some bending problems arose with Skylake chips, so perhaps you secured your cooler a bit too hard?

Anyway, good luck!

Why are you advocating dishonesty, fraud and deception?

Yes, because poor Intel, they'll never make it through this. /s

I saw on another forum that someone did it without any issue. Is it morally right? Perhaps not. Are most companies morally right? Same answer. In my book, it's worth a shot. But if it keeps you awake at night, don't do it. Note that I also gave an advice regarding the cooler.

Back to the the OP: I guess you made some research before delidding to make sure you'd make it properly?

That wont fly.
When intel receives that processor back it would be fairly obvious to their returns department that it was modified.
They would keep it, not send you anything new, and most certainly not offer any compensation. There is no reason to try and cheat the system. A mistake was made, man up.

If it's done meticulously, They just might. Anyway, the CPU is dead most likely, so they might as well keep it if it doesn't work.
