Reference For Die Size and to show no FIVR in the way.
Test Used:
Wprime1024 5.1ghz 1.48v
Before: 96C hit and failed within seconds (hard to tell what load after 2 minutes would have been probably 105+)
After: 78C Warmest core and passed :thumb:
Under ln2 without Delid running XTU we are going postive temps at -145c hits 20c loaded. :o
So I would suggest everyone delid Replace TIM under IHS and then put IHS back on.

The PCB is thin and Ive heard of it breaking in a vice, so I would stick to razor. Press in on each of the 4 corners then do the sides last.
Vice method fail (not me lol)
Also would suggest if you plan to let the ihs float instead of resealing (so you can keep it fresh) loosen the hold down first so you arent forcing the ihs to slide forward under pressure, then tighten the screws after brining the lever down
