So you're running with a stripped venice + 7700Cu?Quote:

listen, take off the IHS, slap some AS5 in there, and put the IHS back on...makes for a better mount anyway...and just make sure that you cover the complete top of the IHS...it will all turn out good that way. 2600+ sempy @ 1.775v running FAH 100% load....41c w/ thermaltake beetle.... :fact:
ok, i took the IHS off my SD3700+ today
running prime large fft now at 2860mhz, before i was at 2700
temps dropped from 56°C load to ~40
I think it is very tempting to remove IHS for all these people reading this thread :) It is really not hard to do, but remember there is always risk of damaging your chip or not gaining anything ... however I still think it is worth it ... IHS makes a nice keychain :D :woot:
remember do not poke the razor blade too deep - 0.5 cm is enough. ;)
:toast:
I think I am going to do this.
Be the first Sempron without an IHS?
Maybe :cool:
As your core is 90 nm then you have much bigger reason to remove it :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
Wish you luck :toast:
Still thinking about it... ;)
Two more questions, tho:
1) What happens if you try to start the computer without a heatsink (i.e. without contact), just in case it happens? I've heard that A64's should be able to handle this and simply shut down in time, will they?
2) Is it easy to get the IHS back on? Again, see above question, what if the contact between core and IHS isn't good enough? :(
Should i enconter any problems when putting 7000B-ALCU on naked core ? When do i know core has good contact with cooler and how do i know if i strighten it enough ?
i had to bend the bar that holds down the heatsink for good contact. not too difficult though ;)Quote:

i didnt quite understood you :d
What did you gain with better contact?Quote:

You mean you bent those, or what? :o
I don't feel like getting my HS out of the computer just yet so I'll ask instead ;)
Bah, didn't work out too great. Removing it went great, but I couldn't get the heatsink to sit stable at all... Even when I screwed it as hard as possible (well, almost) it wiggled back and forth *way* too much for me to even try it. I glued the IHS back on and put som AS5 in there tho.

CNPS7700-AlCu. I might have done the same even if it did fit though, the core is sooo small that I got scared just thinking about the huge heatsink ;)
