Look at the Gflop performance and the heat.

4770k with HT off at 4.4GHZ.
Custom water loop, not delidded yet
Ambient Temps 24C

This chip is worthy and ready for delidding.


Delidded no IHS direct core mount.
Same water cooling as before.
Same BIOS settings as before.
Coolaboratory Liquid Pro TIM between DIE and Block.

Process Gflop performance is up!
With ambient temps taken into consideration temps dropped at least 29C per core!
Also important to note that 100C TDP heat was topping out and the CPU slows down a little by itself to keep from heating up. So max operation temps were never seen for the before delid test.


Conclusion:

Delidding was a big win for my hot 4770k.
