De-lidding the New Kaby Lake Core i7-7700K

Fancy some de-lidding on your brand new Core i7-7700K? Well the guys over at HardOCP managed to get hold of a de-lidding kit from OCUK, and did some modifications so that it can be used on the new Kaby Lake processors. Go check it out.

“Just pulled the retail 7700K out of the Delid-Die-Mate. (Thanks to OCUK for sending that over to use. Great Tool!) This Delid-Die-Mate is not specified for Kaby Lake so I had to do a little Dremel work to the Delrin plastic block so we could use the tool to put Humpty back together again. The ugly “machining” is my handiwork, not theirs. But once I made the needed cuts, the “Skylake” tool worked perfect with the Kaby Lake. I used red RVT instead of black. Now we will get it back on the test bench with its newly applied liquid metal TIM and see if it the delidding and relidding was worth all the effort.”
