Potential Challenges in Removing Parts
Potential Challenges in Removing Parts
I've just placed all my components to assemble my first PC from scratch. Before putting everything in, I was considering removing the 8700K and applying Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Thermal Grease Paste to refurbish it.
Is this advised?
Could you share any advice or recommendations?
Before delidding or installing anything, I plan to test it and verify everything works properly just to be safe. From what I know, doing a delid can cancel the warranty.
It does void warranty (obviously) and there are tools to help with delidding

There are also services that can do it for you for about same price as tools

For a novice and first timer, there's at least 50-50 chance of ruining it.
