Won't Delidding and OCing the chip to that extreme require a lot more voltage through the PC and reduce the lifespan of the chip?

I've overclocked every chip I've owned and none have died on me. However, I've had one or two not keep the same clock and temperatures for their life, and I've had to reduce an overclock by 100-200 mhz down the road.

Delidding is basically just scraping the glue and shit between the chip and the top lid off, right? Do they ship it back to you with the top placed back on or without it? If so, do you just mount the CPU fan to the chip like you normally would?

Yes, it's removing the soldering and re-applying / fixing the gaps. Intel does a pretty bad job of sealing the TIM, and it actually doesn't even fully contact the chip sometimes. This guy will delid, fill in the gaps, and reseal it much tighter. He's seeing crazy reductions in temperatures on Kaby Lake doing this, a MINIMUM of 15c lower, some 20-25c lower.
