The answer is right in front of you. Does it look like it's ruined?

Mr Scott how much did delidding drop your temps? I've read mixed results on delidding and lapping.
Hey Shrimp,
Just a quick update.... the cpu is running flawlessly, and I wanted to thank you for your help throughout that processor. I recently took the PC apart completely and re-applied coolermaster thermo grease (I was running Arctic Silver 5 prior to that). MY temps went down to lower than I've ever seen them and my overclocks are higher than ever. Keep In mind I am still running air cooling but am able to achieve 4.1ghz overclock and a 3122mhz NB overclock no problem. So all is well that ends well. I'm guessing with watercooling my results might be different but for now my temps are right where they where (approx.) before the de-lid. Just thought you'd like a little feedback on my rid and how the delid has effect it. Hope all is well,
SC

Mr Scott, if you don't mind my asking, how far could you OC your fx8320 before the delid? I'm entertaining the idea of sending shrimp my CPU for a little topless action lol
do you think it would be necessary to lap the bow out of my ek supreme water block?
If you're in a position like I was with no backplate, definitely prioritize getting one
I don't remember reading this part....
Your running without it.
And next time before you go monster garage your builds.... come for advice! Heck if needed I could have sent you one of my backplates. Always got a spare one or two laying around.
