I was reading this review of the 7820X, which I imagine will be the most popular or second most popular X299 CPU.

And it can do 5GHz at 1.3v. That's incredible. That is massive improvement over Broadwell-E. The problem is it overheats like crazy even though it's stable. Because of the TIM obviously. I want to find a review where it was tested delidded... I think it's safe to recommend anyone considering Skylake-X pay $50 to SL for a warranty-backed delidding.
