Checkout the Rockit 88 Intel CPU Delid Tool

Even though manufacturers don’t recommend delidding your CPU, there are quite a few overclockers out there that are using this method in order to improve overall thermal performance. Users are still debating whether this practice is actually worth it or not, but it looks like a company named Rockit Cool has created a tool designed specifically for the job. Dubbed Rockit 88, this Intel CPU delid tool has its own Kickstarter campaign, which has raised $3,929 at the time of writing even though the original goal was for just $600.

Some say that delidding a CPU doesn’t offer much in the way of thermal improvement, but Rockit Cool has stated that you can actually achieve a 10°C improvement in load temperatures on an overclocked Devil’s Canyon CPU using its tool.

If you want to get your hands on one of these devices, all you have to do is pledge $35 and you will receive a complete Rockit 88 kit in May 2016. If you’re really committed to delidding your expensive Intel CPU, it’s definitely a better idea to purchase one of these tools instead of using a regular knife and risking permanent damage. What do you think about Rockit 88? Would you use it for your overclocking needs?
