i havent tried OCing more yet :p:, mainly co if its unstable and im folding it will mess my production up - im gunna try later tho :D

OK i just removed my IHS, good move indeed
i also stole the pads from an old AXP to lessen chance of core crushage
So far load temps are down 5C and i can use way more volts without seeing temps take a hit, right now i'm finally stabilizing at 3 Ghz on my water setup, temps not exceeding 40C with 1.73 volts

I would really like to know if my Zalman7700CU would make contact to the core after removing the HS?
The problem is that the plate of the MB doesn't let the heatsink touch the core... I had to mod the heatsink... :D
hey guys
this has let me overclock stably 120mhz more over having the IHS on :woot:
currently at 2.72ghz D2OL stable (previous was 2.6ghz due to heat), think i hhave more left too :banana:
how did you mod the HS? Is it a Zalman7700CU?
me?
my cooling is in my sig :) 53c load
No PoL #456
But yor didnt mod your HS to fit the core?
I reading this thread I decided to give it a try so off went the IHS. My Shin Etsu paste is still setting but so far my temps went down 2C and I gained 40 Mhz stable OC. It is not a huge improvement but hey, every little bit helps.
It made me crazy .
Before my winni 3200+ reached 56C at 2450/1.42v so I also decided to give it a try but very worried .
IHS is finally off but with a little break at one corner of the PCB ( not the core ) .
Sanded off the 2 faces of the IHS , placed it on the CPU as original with very little glue at corners then re-installed everything . Damm , it still working but my temp jumped up to 58C at the same speed .
Crazyly , I decided to remove IHS again and put my XP 120 directly on it with no pad .
This decision satisfied me . It works much better . I'm now running 2600/1.54v , 34C idle , 43-44 at load , ambient 32C . Before I tried 2600/1.64v/60C/unstalble .
Really amazing , I gain 150 mhz and my temp is down by 16C .
My sig :
- DFI Lanparty UT nF4 SLI-D .
- XP 120 on nude Winni 3200+ 0444 RPAW @ 2600/1.54v .
- 1G Corsair 3200XL - X800XT .
here are my results
before: 9x300=2.7GHz 1.55volts 53C Load/39 Idle on air
after: 9x312=2.8GHz 1.67volts 40C Load/30C Idle on water
Removing the IHS makes a huge difference with my X2 3800+ processor. I just got it yesterday and after mounting my waterblock the chip went 2.7 no problem 1.45v but my temps were 52C load. I remounted my block thinking that was the problem, same temp. So I removed the IHS and now I am burning in at 2.85 1.56v with temps 29c idle, 38 load. That is a big difference.
How dangerous could be use this technique on a prommy2@r404a modded ???
I could isolate the area surrounding the core with vaseline or nail varnish...whta do u think guys, anyone try it?
Cya.
yes it will for sureQuote:

I cant find a thin blade to get between the IHS and the cpu.
Yours must have been a thicker layer.
It just pisses me off.
Didt yours come off easily?
take a razor-blade and push it in. dont use it like a saw
But is only the cuttingedge that I can get in between the HS.
The layer is so very thin -about 0,5mm -Is this normal?
yes
People are taking about this as an easy mod.
I would say it is a hard one.
How can you use a thicker blade than what the actually cap is between the HS -I just dont get it. If I push hard -it just give a metallic sound, because I then cut in the heatspreader it self.
Removed the IHS, take your time for that,Quote:

(3) Always work on the top margin of the black silicone.
(4) No saw or cut, very gentle pressing in been sufficient completely. Piece for piece around.
(5) Subsequently, where the gap is in the silicone and the black plastic sign, puts a fine screwdriver on, Up-lever and then again very slowly.
Finaly you are lost from AMD (greenhouse) CASE temp.
Clean the processor core carefully with 99% alcohol.
Now maybe you need to mod your CPU Heatsink, so it make a properly contact with the core!
Use Arctic Silver AS5 ......
Tools which do it:
just ruined my 3400+ newcastle ....Very bad..
