I removed my IHS which at 1st gave me trouble with less OC. But since then I fixed my raddy and reseated the TDX block. I am now able to get 2838 mhz with 1.52 volts stable where as I was having to use 1.65v.So very nice drop in vcore and gain in stability. Wasnt hard to remove either.
Wow they're great results what's the ambient temps?Quote:

Firstly I get probably the worst 3200+ Venice in history, maxed at 2.6 GHz / 1.7V / water :eek:
Then I bust the IHS off my San Diego, see zero reduction in temps and 0 increase in overclock. Ah well :rolleyes:
I am having a hard time tryin to decide if I should remove the IHS off my X2 4800. My TEC only brings it down below freezing during idle if the fans are on full blast on the rad.
Is everyone seeing 50-100mhz or better on their overclocks after removing the IHS?
I am wondering if it would help my second core OC better since it errors out of Prime95 alot faster than the other core.
Well maybe I spoke a little too soon, it hasn't affected my temps as reported in MBM5 at all but then I think this board can't report temps correctly as I get exactly the same idle/load stock or overclocked :rolleyes:
My waterblock temperature seems to have decreased a few C under load, and although my prime stability is still maxed around 2.75 GHz I can do everything else like Fold/game at higher clocks now, guess it shows what a POS prime95 is really.
has anyone tried the dental floss method of ihs removal?
I have and it didnt work. The floss isnt strong enough. I just used some take to block the razor from going to deep. I wanted to make sure that I didnt hit one of those ic's.Quote:

just put ceramique on it when putting it back on, shud keep it on :confused:
anyhow, im using an SKL948U with my naked A64, can i use a XP90C? i really wanna get one :p: but if i cant use it with my naked chip i wont.
cos i got some money now to finish off my air cooling after giving away fans with sold components, and im going for gold with my cpu air cooling with a naked chip,XP90C and a 92mm Tornado :)
cheers
I wont recommend the xp-90 on a naked chip, I have it and its pretty hard to get it clipped on, I end up bending like all kinds of fins with the screw driver. But maybe if you put some of those stick protection tabs uses to protect things from bumpins. Kinda like the old amd chips had on the corner.
I got the 92mm Tornado also, it's loud and annoying, and at half speed and full speed there isn't even a 1c difference, so get something else.
Tornado ordered, XP90c isnt and wont be :p:
gotta try the tornado out myself on full blast as i didnt get a controller :D rawk!
Got rid of the IHS on my nearly year old A64 3000 NC. Also switched from a XP-90 to a TT Big Typhoon. Had some intial qualms about TT stuff, as I haven't come upon a good TT heatsink in the past. But this one's pretty solid as far as I can tell. At stock temps dropped from 29C idle/41C load to 25C idle/34C load. I'm doing some overclocked testing right now but I can say I ran prime for about 20 mins with no problem at 2.5GHz whereas I couldn't even do 1 mins stable at anything past 2.4GHz before. Didn't have time to run for more than that for the time being, but I'll be doing more testing later on. Very beneficial overall though. Sliced up my finger a couple times though. :p
Mine idles at like 40C and loads at 52-53C
I have the EXACT same setup at work...and it idles at 27-28C and loads at like 38C
Im gonna pop the IHS off the one at home when my waterblock and everything gets here
does anyone know where to get the pads that are on athlon xps or replacements that would work? I dont have any old procs laying around to steal the pads from.
That tornado is gona be loud, I thought i could deal with it but its like a blow dryer at 3/4, can't hear yourself think.
i just ended up buying this http://store.yahoo.com/directron/tn3535.html. now hopefully it will be thick enough.
I wonder if that thing is going to retain heat to the ic's and pcb cuz it only has a hole for the core. I also wonder if its ok to put that rubber thing directly ontop of the cpu. I'm sorry I wouldnt trust it. I does look like a good idea though!Quote:

I think I may have a nice NC 3400+.
It is only prime stable at 2700mhz (1,6V) but I cant boot up to 2820 (1,75V)
My temp when running prime95 hits 52-53C (it seems hot when reading this thread).
Maybe getting lower temps would make my OC go higher?
Im using a Zalman7700CU -it is a very big HSF, so I may be a bit worried.
Anyone tried it?
yup, ur right :( im not using this thing (tornado) for 24/7, ill use it for benchmarks and memory testing :)Quote:

Plus, I can cut out any patern I want from this rubber, I was just going to cut it to go on top of the black silicone from the ihs anyway.
I'm going to try this with my week 21 3200 once I get out of the hospital. If I can get 2.8 at around 1.525-1.55, I would be more than happy. The best I can do so far is 2.73 at 1.55.
But how can I know it is the heat holding me back.
I cant get it stable over 2700mhz -Giving it more vcore doesnt help either.
Im running 1.6V now and it gets 52C at prime95.
I can boot at higher speed with higher vcores but it isnt stable. But it locks up even at 40C -So doesnt this tell me that it isnt the heat?
Mine 3700+ SD clocked to 2700 Mhz goes up to 50c load with Prime, and thats with only 1,5v. Even the water block feels cold. Wondring if i should take of the IHS or just leave it on. :rolleyes:
My old 2400+ Mobile was never over 47c with 2v clocked to 2700Mhz, so something tells me that the IHS isnt doing a god job here.
Hey guys,
Thought some S754/Newcastle users might find this interesting:
3400 Newcastle @ 2.6GHZ with 1.61v
IHS+92mm YSTech 55-57c LOAD
no IHS+92mm YSTech 50-52c LOAD
no IHS - 12v 92mm Tornado 44c LOAD
no IHS - 7v 92mm Tornado 48c LOAD (what im using now)
so now my 24/7 temperature had dropped 7c :woot:
But are you getting higher OC?
Today I tried to remove the IHS, but I havent got a thin blade to get cut the IHS off.
The layer is only about 0.5mm thick.
Im not sure I can thighten the screews om my Heatsink any futher. If I get the IHS off -wouldnt that give me some gap between the core and heatsink then?
