I've delidded my 480 some time ago. No need for the heat you just slice around two corners and twist the blade, popped right off. I didn't really get better temps (w/c) but it handles higher juice way better allowing me to bench at 970Mhz core with 1.27V or so. Could prolly go higher but i'm on gpu-only block and the stock front plate can't handle the VRM's at 1.3V+...

Then put the heaspeader back on duh.. Take the opportunity to clean it up and put some ceramique in between first

That is exactly the same problem i had, my wb didn't make good contact with the naked die so i applied a fresh blob of tim and glued back the IHS but i was getting really crappy temps do to pretty crappy contact. Had to use a copper shim in the end.
