Floating a Delidded i7-7700k
I got a 6850K i7 from silicone lottery speedbinned @ 4.6 thx running @ 4.8ghz .
I bought it delided to but I had a hard time installing the delided CPU luckely I had a back plate from a scrapped Rampage V extreme otherwise my motherboard wasent compatible I'm running Rampage extreme V edition 10 .
I tryied coolabratory liquid ultra and Team grizzlys conductonaut which I got 3 degrees better temp so I prefer team grizzlys conductonaut.
Advise concerning mounting a delided CPU silicone lottery has a good guide with proper mounting guidelines well depending if ur running a compatible motherboard according to silicone lotterys specs and don't tighten the CPU to much!! Just try and start check temp and if it's high and it should be from 22c to 26c idle for me don't know what temps 7700k has idle .
And just screw the CPUbolts in a cross and tighten with incremental tightening it's a good and safe way to get the max out of the CPU.
Good luck m8
