I used the boiling water method and it worked like a charm. I noticed some of those SMDs were burnt up. What do they do ? Do they limit or filter voltage ?
They left all that black stuff on the IHS
some better pics of the smd's ?
yah, please post better pics, i'm curious as to how and y; that's if they are burnt.
i don't think he burned something the side that this black thing bleeds doesn't have smd's on the chip i think this think is the epoxy that used to glue the HIS with the chip but we need a better picture :)
Wow thats pretty good - I want more pics though!
Could we get better pictures?
and could you give me a link to the boiling water method, I'm really interested in popping my IHS off my Quad also
I wish i had the balls to do this lol. Also let us know what amount of temp drop you got out of this.
First of a sorry guys but all I had is my cell phone camera. The bad news Was that the chip didn't make it to long made it about a day and never manage to stay stable. the main problem was hat I had to have extremely good contact and I couldn't achieve that. so I decided it was time to upgrade so I knocked off three resistors and it still posted once. The chip died within about 30 mins. The next thing I did was disect it and I split the levels of silicon so I could se the die directly like in the die shot photos. and thats the end of that chip. on the good news I guarantee to complete this with my new penryn chip I will be getting soon.
The burnt SMDs were the ones to the right most.
I will most die shots of both chips when I get my Q9550
what did you used for cooling this chip ?
did you removed the lga cap ?
I did remove the LGA cap and the cooling was a copper ninja with a bolt down method
:/ shame is souled work that way :(
Did you remove the latch that holds the CPU in? That's the key for getting good contact with IHS-less LGA775 chips (and having a flat surface on the HSF/waterblock).
