Overclocking used to be a bit of an extreme sport offshoot of the PC gaming world, only performed by people willing to take some risks to see how far they could push their hardware. Now it’s a bit different. Many chips have overclocking options accessible straight in the BIOS, letting everyone get a taste. That being said, there are still the hardcore 'clockers out there, happily tearing the tops off their CPUs trying for the biggest numbers for the sheer hell of it. Though even this kind of process is getting much easier, thanks to DIY delid kits designed specifically for the purpose.

I actually should have the Rockitcool delid+ Copper IHS replacement this week for the 12900KF. I would prefer direct die, but the only option I have seen looked like a prototype.

One of the few "Frame Chasers" videos I've watched involved the use said kit (Delidding 12900K Temp Results!! - YouTube).  I hope I'm not putting my foot in my mouth (never know who's who on the interwebs), but I prefer der8auer's steadier Prussian methodology over Mr. Chaser's hyperkinetic disjointed Québécois rambling .
