8700K delidding for better overclocking and lower temperatures

In this episode we lay the foundation for a cool and performant CPU overclocking. We will delid the Intel i7 8700K, apply liquid metal thermal compound and re-glue the heat spreader. Afterwards I'll take a short look on what cooling solution is better for overclocking.
