You put liquid(pro,ultra or other brands) between die and ihs,then socket should provide adecvate pressure,then u proceed on mounting water block or cooler on the ihs like normal.don't use liquid between ihs and water block for example,not worth it.

A 100% good job for air,water implies:

-remove ihs,clean the margins and die
-use liquid ultra/pro on the die
-isolate internal vrm just in case
-do a little lap job on the side of the ihs that sticks on die
-glue back the ihs using black silicone/adhesive,fix it using the socket so u got the optimal pressure

If you do a clean job warranty is not void since no one at intel RMA will cpu's to check if stock tim or not.
