friend of mine took hs off winnie 3000+ and he's getting better ocing and lower temperatures with less vcore voltage needed :toast:

There a thread in the Best of AMD Stickiest. How much of an improvement did you get?
I knew the core was smaller but that looks half as small or more then a clawhammer.
Can't wait to see the results :up: What precautions do you take when mounting cooling to prevent crushing/cracking the core?
I saw another thread somewhere about a guy that removed the HS and lapped the bottom side of it and replaced the original thermal goo with AS5 and had good results.
Why aren't AMD and Intel using a copper hsf?, on a Prescott it would make a hell of a difference if you ask me.
I know copper is harder to machine but on the higher models (3.4ghz and up) they should use a copper hsf and a different cooler than on the lower models.
Atleast they should give the P4 EE SOMEthing extra.
Do you guys agree with me?
i dont understand why they use an ihs, isnt it meant to improve heat dissipation cos that just doesnt make sense at it just increases thermal transfers, i spose its just for protection of the cores is that right?
isnt the fx55 hsf copper bottomed? i'm sure i've seen a stock amd heatsink with a copper bottom
If I remember correctly the FX55 HSF's are copper bottomed with two heatpipes.Quote:

The intel heatsink/fan assemblies are machined aluminum with copper slugs in the center. seems to be a popular design.Quote:

Afaik they are also talking about the HSF and not only the IHS.Quote:

IHS's are copper, no way they would be as heavy as they are if they were aluminum.
They could do a lot better job making them and putting them on, though.
Eitehr way, AMD and Intell *DO* use copper heatsinks-- just the lower models have aluminum.

The heatspreaders are copper too.. even my wilamette IHS is.
the IHSes are copper? then why do they look aluminum?

My bad then :)Quote:

In the corner is that a scratch near the "N"? :stick:
it is nickel plated copperQuote:

IHS is copper ;) Just take a look :D

I doubt it, nc's do ok with extreme cooling and the ihs. I see no reason as to why the IHS would have anything to do with winnies being unstable at -0 temps. Maybe it is some weird fluke of nature though :slap:Quote:

So would it be worth the risk to take the HS off , Lapp it and Re install it with AS5?
