Think twice about removing IHS on an X2 6000+

DaMulta · Oct 10, 2007

Well if you know how to do it, I've heard that taking them off intel chips is easy. Maybe even easier.

Yeah, just overheat a TEC on them. :roll:

LOL just make sure your black has a metal top hehehehe

DaMulta · Oct 10, 2007

I'll take one half and you take the other OK?

mandelore · Oct 10, 2007

doh!

as stated force aint ever needed. when i did the thread on removing the IHS on my opty 185 all that i needed was to cut with a razer around the perimiter wax/glue seal. it popped right off

It really didn't take much force at all. It just felt like some of the glue was still stuck on one side.

>.> wow, should have posted something before. I also found out the hard way that all amd dual cores are soldered.

KennyT772 · Oct 10, 2007

Not true, Opteron ihs's arent soldered.

Wile E, Were temps such a problem you had to remove the ihs!? Seriously you need to lock your case and give someone else the key. Step away from the hardware.

DaMulta · Oct 10, 2007

My X2 3600 wasnt soldered.

Never say always in the computer world, I swear companies just go to prove you wrong at times.

I beat Zek to the funny cat pic:

oh, and STOP KILLING HARDWARE!! :mad:

bassmasta · Oct 10, 2007

yeah, from now on i'm going to be more vague. I at least know that MOST amd dual cores at 4200 and up are soldered.

Steevo · Oct 10, 2007

I have been thinking about uncapping my X2. And getting water. it is just barely above stock, and I don;t believe I really need the extra voltage anyway.

technicks · Oct 10, 2007

The 90nm cpu's are soldered the 65nm cpu's not i think.

pbmaster · Oct 10, 2007

Ah, what a beast. Sad to see her go. Atleast now you know what not to do lol

Kasparz · Oct 10, 2007

Cool guys never learn. Windsors are soldered. Some brisbanes are not.

panchoman · Oct 10, 2007

lol i have a windsor.. gotta remember that. also the 6000 isn't a true windsor. its a binned toledo core. windsor arch. only lets it go to like 2.9

Wile E · Oct 11, 2007

To put an end to the debate, not all Windsors are soldered. I popped the IHS off of my 1st Gen X2 3800+ Windsor today. :roll:

Pics to follow.

No, I just wanted to try to run 1.6v on air. :laugh:

Ok, naked X2 3800+ pics. Threw the 6000+ in the pictures for laughs as well. 3800+ on the bottom (obviously). I noticed something that I found strange tho, notice there's an extra row of resistors (if that's what they are) on the 6000+. Both chips are oriented in the same direction, btw. Removal was worth 5-7C under load.

yogurt_21 · Oct 11, 2007

sweet, now take the cache off of the 6000 and solder it into the 3800 where the spots for it are.

U should try it :rockout:

Yeah right. I have a 50% failure rate on removing a cpu's cap, for Christ's sake. I can't image what would happen if I pulled out the soldering iron on a naked 3800+. :roll:

DaMulta · Oct 11, 2007

Do you have a solder sucker?

Very handy

hat · Oct 11, 2007

You never learn do you

Ripped the core of a 6000+ in half, then go ahead and try it again :/
