Just reporting back, thread is not dead. It will never be, but time is often short and I´ve added CPU-OC to the list of my hobbies.
Just yesterday I took the 4850X2 apart and as you can see there is a lot of dust that has build up over time. Thanks to the heatsink design it did not block any airflow, but still I prefer a clean pcb over THIS any day.
The thermal pads were very brittle, will have to replace them. It seems like 1mm thickness on the memory, and 1mm thickness on the VRM-heatsink on the back of the card. 0.5mm thickness for the large silver VRM-heatsink on the front.
I have decided not to try and pull the ASIC heatsink off, it is glued in place and I think it should stay that way. There is no alternative mounting mechanism and tearing on the glue will most likely destroy it.
Backside looking fine, stickers still in place. That thin yellow foil stuff looks like thermal and electric isolating tape, I can replace that with my own. However I did just run out of 0.5mm pads, will have to re-order those before moving on.
I like these coolers, they use thumb-screws. Really simple to attach and you get good control over the mounting pressure.
