Think twice about removing IHS on an X2 6000+

Wile E · Oct 10, 2007, 09:39 AM

Well, I killed yet another cpu. I tried to pop the IHS off of my X2 6000+. Had it good and warm and everything, but the core ripped out. Mine appeared to be soldered. I didn't think AMD did that, but the silvery substance squeezing out from around the core where it meets the IHS is shiny silver, and hard as a rock. I have to have some of the worst luck with computers. At least I have this X2 3800+ (very first batch

) to hold me off until I get my E6600. Pics below.

Never.

Never ever forcefully remove an IHS.
If it doesn't literally fall off after cutting the black rubber on the edges it is soldered. Judging by the scratches on the edge of the package you indeed forced it off with a screwdriver.

another dead cpu

you should get insurance

Yep, discovered this the hard way. Unfortunately, I never noticed any references to that before. I thought the glue was just extra tough on mine. lol.

Now I know what the inside of a AMD dual core looks like.
Thankyou for sharing.

Wile E, I thought you were intelligent man! What happened!?

Jokes

, you've just been having an 'interesting' month

nflesher87 · Oct 10, 2007, 11:26 AM

It also killed the cpu in this case.

Seriously tho, if it weren't for you, I'd be much more upset right now. Thanks bro.

The only reason I haven't tried yet, is because this is my last cpu. lol

lol. I'd debate the FX-62, but I don't need the psu. Mine is just fine. lol

DaMulta · Oct 10, 2007, 11:59 AM

I can't belive this happened.

Have you stuck it in just to see if it does still work?

Look at the pics again. The WHOLE core is attached to the bottom of the IHS, and there is a ginormous (relatively speaking) hole where the core is supposed to be on the chip.

0% chance of ever operating again.

DaMulta · Oct 10, 2007, 12:03 PM

Did u have to force it?

Somewhat, but not that hard. I thought it was just a bit of glue that I missed or something.

DaMulta · Oct 10, 2007, 12:11 PM

Well I guess you have to put AMD chips on the oven now too before you remove it. That sucks!!!

Yeah, I even took out off of a fresh shutdown, where I did a little Orthos to warm it up good.
