You don't leave the lid off. The point is that the glue used to adhere the heat spreader to the PCB is too thick and creates a gap between the heat spreader and the die. When you delid, you remove the glue entirely and replace the TIM with better stuff like liquid metal (Coollab). Drops temps by 20-30C.
