I disassembled a razor and got a blade from it, veeery thin, worked like a charm! Thanks for the tip. I took it very easy and the lid popped of my 165 :) I also lapped my Noctua NH-U12 as the base was pretty "ribbed?" and uneven. Here's the result:

Was it worth it? Hell yeah! Before, I was seeing ~50-53C load with only 1.475 and about 2850MHz. It wasn't stable much higher even with 1.5V and I couldn't give it more as I don't want to go much over 50C. Now, I began with setting it at 325x9(2925MHz) and 1.5V, booted up and ran orthos for a couple of hours, rock solid! And temps in SmartGuardian didn't exceed 41C (CoreTemp shows 46-48)! A drop of over 10C, with 0.25V more! Incredible, and the AS5 hasn't even set yet. This is in a P180, full with sound dampening material and only one 120mm intake and one blowing out in the back (Yate Loon's @ 900RPM) :sweat: I'm now at 334x9(3006MHz) with 1.525V and load temp is about 44-45C (CoreTemp about 51-52C). Going to run orthos overnight but it seems to be rock stable.
