7700K Overclocking - Silicon Lottery
Just bought a 7700K and ROG Strix Z270E. I can reach 5.0 GHz at 1.32 V, but temperatures stay around the mid-80s to low 90s. Anyone know about Silicon Lottery and their experience with delidding services?

I recently bought a 7700K and a ROG Strix Z270E. I can reach up to 5.0 GHz at 1.32 V, but the temperatures stay in the mid-80s to low 90s. Do you know anyone who has used Silicon Lottery for delidding? I haven’t tried it myself, but others who have seem very satisfied with their outcomes and achieved the temperature drops they needed. So it looks like a reliable option.
If you’re willing, I’d recommend giving it a go yourself. The Rockit88 delid kit costs just $35 when you include the Relid tool, and you can add any liquid metal TIM you prefer. This would be a reasonable alternative to hiring someone else to do the job. The process is straightforward and minimizes risk thanks to the included tool. You’ll have full control over the method—like choosing to use superglue instead of silicon for reattaching the heat spreader, which could reduce gaps. There are many tutorials and videos available, and the Rockit team is very supportive when you have questions.
Overall, most people report positive results with these services, and there don’t seem to be any major complaints. You should be comfortable proceeding if you choose this route.

If you're willing, I'd recommend giving it a try yourself. The Rockit88 delid kit costs just $35 with the included relid tool, and adding your preferred liquid metal TIM makes the process even more cost-effective compared to hiring a third party.
