Think twice about removing IHS on an X2 6000+

pbmaster · Oct 11, 2007

Don't tempt the man!! If he actually tries it and messes up he won't have any more CPUs!!

DaMulta · Oct 11, 2007

But if he successfully then well....

Athlon2K15 · Oct 11, 2007

what if someone removed an IHS and then decided he wanted to put it back on,what would you use?

DaMulta · Oct 11, 2007

I would use black silicon.

pbmaster · Oct 11, 2007

Some of that Arctic Silver adhesive maybe?

Do you have a solder sucker?

Very handy

Yes, yes actually I do. But I'm still not soldering on this 3800+/ Popping the IHS was enough risk for one day for me, thank you very much. lol

Wile E · Oct 11, 2007

I'd just use Super glue to put the IHS back on. Don't forget the TIM on top of the core.

DaMulta · Oct 11, 2007

LOL I don't blame you.

I don't know if I would try it, unless I have a better one in the mail.

You should add mine TEC in your sig Wile LOL "Remember when TEC cooling goes bad #2" Where do you think #1 was at....hahaha

Tell you what, send me an AM2 X2 3800+ or better, and I'll give it a go. :laugh:

Pay half for shipping and you've got a deal

So uh, how much does it cost to ship a cpu to the states? lol

Probably a lot lol.

spud107 · Oct 11, 2007

after seeing this I'm definitely not touching my x2, don't want it turning out like that.

KennyT772 · Oct 11, 2007

Yours is a 939, not am2. Its only the high end am2 chips that are soldered.

spud107 · Oct 11, 2007

i might be temped after all then, cooler wouldn't need modded, but need to find out how to vmod this board first or theres not much point.

tkpenalty · Oct 21, 2007

Man... You're a Master of Disaster... :laugh:

Ketxxx · Oct 21, 2007

Youknow.. most clever people would learn from castrating one CPU

DaMulta · Oct 21, 2007

I wonder if they did this to the black 5000 Hmmmmm

DaMulta · Oct 21, 2007

should I do it?

Why not? I already popped the top on my X2 3800+. :roll:

Just don't try to pry it, if the ihs doesn't come off nice and easy. The 3800 was easy, once I ran the razor blade all the way around, and was sure I cut the seal all the way thru, the IHS just fell off.

DaMulta · Oct 21, 2007

This is a very good thread on seeing what ones you can, and which ones you shouldnt remove.

I took a IHS off of my old 3600 before, and it just took a while because I didn't want a dead chip LOL.
