Its a sad day for the computer world.. Well atleast me..
Look at my processor :S

I practiced on my old processor and everything.. Looks like the processor refused to come off. Someone listed earlyer this month about trying to pop a fx-62.
Anyways. the processor TORE out of its seating.. :S Looks like Ill be buying a conroe. :(:confused:
It looks like AMD started to use solder instead of paste. Sorry for the loss.
wtf? that could not have happened easily. weren't there warning signs that you were about to do some serious damage?
AMD using Solder because of the better thermal conduction.
Sorry for your loss
Solder :o Now that sucks :(
Yes I would recommend everyone that has AM2's to watch out.
Thinking about ordering a new Conroe :S
is someone able to tell me what chips are soldered? FXs only? im thinking about X2 3800 and remove ihs
Intel has been soldering the IHS on their CPUs for a while now, I wondered when AMD would start doing it. Guess this is the answer :(
mind taking another closeup shot and trying to make it a touch less blurry? be sure to use macro (flower button fwiw :p: ), and use something to stabilize the lens to get a clear shot. lots and lots of light is nice too ;)
do you just want to be able to see it better because you're curious? or you think it can be fixed?Quote:

talking to AFI about this.. what week is your chip? he removed his ihs on the orleans he had, so.... :confused:
it must be a very recent thing, not just any AM2
I came up with The BEST method for removing the soldered IHS's...
Shimano @ VR zone killed 3 cpu's trying to remove soldered heatspreaders... i've killed 2... and i've had 2 successful removals, and eventually crushed all the cores cause im careless...
a few users have removed heatspreaders without crushing... or ripping the die off...
check it out... IF you feel brave enough to risk your cpu... my method is tried tested and true :p:
it is a top down upgrade for AMD that will be happening over the next two months. Which will provide:
1) lower temps
This is done because AMD is taking a few hints from Intel on IHS design for LGA sockets and have confirmed Solder is a superior Interface material over the Entire thermal spectrum.
Ouuuuccchhhh painful looking mate :(
did you :banana::banana::banana::banana: your pants when you first realized what you did?
Wow, that sux.
PS. Nice avatar thou :D.
Here they are :S
More pictures!
put some AS5 and put it back together maybe it works
Yes. My girlfriend saw a grown man cry...Quote:

damn, that 3rd pic... looks like that thing has a really thick layer of whatever that yellow crap is. VERY interestingQuote:

AS5 is non conductive, ive tried even with a DMM:p:Quote:
