Can You Delid Haswell E?

[escksu]

I wonder if its possible to delid Haswell E CPUs since its soldered rather than using thermal paste.

Cause I saw MSI board have the delid die guard.

 

[Felfirez]

Don't think so. Soldered TIM.

 

[Ark Law]

Sure can delid one. But surely cannot confirm if still can work after that.

Don't think so. Soldered TIM.

Then delidding shld be unnessary to begin with.

 

[Yureak]

If you have to ask.... Then you probably shouldnt be buying Haswell E

 

[FinalTidus]

I thought Haswell e being the most ridiculously expensive should be soldered tim? meaning if delid means gg?

Yes, thats what I thought. Then MSI seems to point out that Haswell E can delid.

Thats why I am puzzled.

I am aware of extreme methods used to delid (need to use heat gun to melt the solder).
