Yes that's if you buy a new chip from them Cliff, but I can send them my chip and then they will delid and bin it for me, Cost is around 100.00 with shipping. Process is explained here...
Professionally have your Intel K Series CPU Binned & Delidded by MPPC

And how much did your chip cost?

That's good, then after delidding and new IHS, it'll still be cheaper than an original boxed here in Germany

Hi,
A few people believe copper isn't good for liquid metal long term anyway not sure what thermal grease they might use though :/

BS, it only discolors the copper, nothing more. And who wants to look at the inside of an IHS anyhow
It's aluminum that will die a fast painful death being eaten like a detective from Hannibal Lecter
