Super easy.
TBH I was nervous as ****!
Here is the delidding tool I used.

If you watch the guys video he makes it look like you have to strain and work at etc.
Once it was tight, I just gave the allen wrench some muscle and it literally slid right off like butter. No issues whatsoever. Cleaned it all up with rubbing alcohol and a Q tip, and used

for the liquid metal. Once it was all cleaned up I just put a BB sized amount on the die, and spread it around with a q-tip. I placed the processor in the mobo socket and positioned the IHS on top, clamped it down and voila. MEGA GREAT TEMPS. I am pumped it was so easy and just makes all the difference in the world.
Another great thing about this build was that I planned correctly, had everything on hand, and put it all together in one fell swoop, and it all just worked from the get go. No tweaks needed in the bios, no nothing needed except to install my monitoring tools and then I went to work OCing. Only took me a few tries to find a stable 5.0 clock and away we go~
