Delidding Intel i7 4790K - Vice Only Delid Method - No Razor No Hammer - Haswell, Skylake, Kaby Lake

Delidding Intel i7 4790K - "Vice Only" Delid method.
I was a bit worried but it was surprisingly simple.

!!! WARNING !!!
DO google if your particular CPU is using TIM, or if your CPU has a soldered IHS.
Be careful! Only if you are really sure about this, there are no guarantees and this will void your warranty!
If you try to delid a soldered IHS (with this method), THIS will happen - http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/up...


Be careful not to push too far or too quickly, this may damage the surface mounted capacitors - https://postimg.org/image/bls5cxg37/
The safest is probably pushing the IHS from the right-hand side. My video shows pushing from the top against the IHS and that was just fine.

Used my cheap vice from Amazon, some painter's tape around the vice jaws to not damage/scratch the processor, and some cloth in case the cpu falls down. No razor, hammer or wood block needed.
Make sure you align it very evenly on the vice jaws and go very, very slowly with the pressure.

It took almost no force on the vice at all, the shear strength of the black 'glue' is really low. You can warm the CPU IHS up with a hairdryper which will make it even easier.

Much preferred this to the razor and even vice+hammer methods because it is much more controlled. But each to their own! :)
