Hey, I’m planning to lower my 9900k to cut down the temperature, but I’m not sure if it’s the right move. Got any advice?

It's soldered... technically you could do it, but the risk of harming the chip is very high.

The 9900K is bonded to the IHS. It’s a lot harder to remove and increases the risk of harming the CPU. In my view, it’s not worth the effort. There are several videos from Gamers Nexus and Der8auer discussing delidding the 9900K and whether it’s a good idea. If you haven’t seen them yet, I suggest watching them.

It shows a 9-7C gain, but it doesn't add much value. You might be able to sell it before it loses worth and earn a 3900X on a 12-core processor.

No. Soldering makes it difficult and dangerous to remove, and you won't see a temperature drop unless liquid metal is used.

Don't attempt to remove a CPU on your own. No matter the processor, the STIM usually prevents immediate damage from a faulty cooling setup.
