Hey guys !:)
So, after long deciding, yesterday Ive delidded my I7 7700k (running at 1.3 at 4.8ghz).
Well it was one hell of a nerves, because I was using razor method... and u know... well after delid, Ive applied liquid metal from thermal grizzly, and put all together to check my temps, and here comes my question... As I fail to find some threads where people post results with similar cooling... 
Running prime 95 fft gives me 70-77 on package temps... isnt it a little bit too high? Well in general not, but I have expected better results... 
Btw for cooling, Im using NZXT Kraken x62... (bit lazy and worried about building custom loop).
So whats ur advice and results? 
Thanks a lot :)

    what are your core temps? have you tried lowering the volts just a bit? maybe 1.25. did you clean all the old black glue off and reapply some sealant and clamp it down for a few hours? i would think depending on ambient temps, you should be a little lower. here are mine after deliding. i was hitting 80~85 before

    Hey, thanks for quick reply... I didnt glued the ihs back on, just attached it and fixed it on with motherboard pins... my ambient temps are little higher now - 25-26... Do u think that big difference is related to gluing/ambi?
    Edit: Socket pins (the thing that holds the cpu)

    i have heard two different stories on it, some say yes others say no. the biggest thing is to remove the old glue, intel went a bit to thick and it could hold the ihs just a hair high off the dies which would cause issues with heat transfer. i glued mine on with some permatex ultra black, that way i know its even on the die and will stay inplace. you might also want to check the flatness of the ihs top, mine was concave some causing a hot spot in the center, after i lapped it flat and polished it to a mirror finish i need very little TIM between my cpu and water block.
