@fcg I assume you used the same method as the others. Heating the ihs till you were able to remove it from the core.

freecableguy... are you using the method i came up with for removal?
it should be a crime shouldn't it... :rolleyes:
congrats with the service... i should have thought about that sooner
I must of missed something somewhere, since when could you remove the IHS of a LGA775 CPU?
since people started going nuts and melting the solder to get the IHS off
well i took my first IHS off a Celly D a few years ago now i guess...
i hear BB Mods has been doing it for awhile aswell... dont know for how long, or exactly what his method is... i've heard he's using a Jewelers torch...
i came up with my own method in the LN2 topic that was going on...
I've known ZX for a few years... after he dropped my name... i had to take a peek around and show how it's done :p:
i was using a simlar method as Shimano for a long time... prying it off, twisting it off... you name it...
when the worlds best overclocker struggles to remove it... and i've done it... it's time to say something dont ya think...
with my method you simply heat up the IHS until the solder reaches it's melting point and the cpu drops down...
in theory it should reach the same temperatures as during the manufacturing process...
and like i said in a few of the threads... It's not my fault if your stupid enough to take a blowtorch to your CPU which costs hundreds of dollars... and it isn't XS's fault if anything goes wrong...
we'll take all the props though... heh!
removing the lid from the socket is easy... but i usually run my motherboard in a chassis... and seeing how i've RMA'ed boards for bent pins a few times... i rather not risk it
but yeah it's simple enough i guess you can put it back on no problems..

looks like youve started a craze 1700.
last time i checked, removing a IHS from an lga775 was kind of mission impossible.
with a success rate of 1 out of 4,
so i guess i'm just going to keep my lapped 6400 instead of killing it trying to remove the IHS.
BTW nice pictures FCG
Well... actually everyone who failed did so because they got impatient and decided to use raw for to remove the IHS instead of warming it more and letting it drop away of its own accord. The result was that they tore the die asunder.Quote:

That means that you have a huuuuge margin between where the "solder" melts, and the threshold levels you might actually start to dammage your hardware.
So all in all, I would rate IHS removal on a C2D as medium-to-hard on the scale. Its not quite as easy since you need to heat it to release it, but on the other hand there are no transistors you can cut, so thats one less mistake you can make. As llong as you DON'T just go ape and attempt to use force to pry the IHS off, you really can't dammage it.
IMO, the biggest disadvantage of removing the IHS on a C2D comes from the aftermath of mounting it. I regard the risk of crushing the core as much higher than dammaging it in the removal process. of course, if you actually take your time to do it properly, then the risk should be minimal.
Personally I intend to make myself a neoprene shim that is a bit higher than the core, so that the neoprene will absorb a lot of the force as i turn it down harder, and also keep the preassure even. I use a DD phase for cooling.

Oh BTW Crazy...
Can you describe the process of cleaning up the solder from the die? This is something nobody tends to mention, but it seems like an important step to me. is it ppossible to remove that crap without having to heat it up and siphon it off somehow?

edit deleted my own post about the kid who lapped his core.
just unbelievable
I don't have the guts to attempt to remove the ihs off any of my intel chips...
i'd like to remove my 775 ihs off, but i dont got the balls :P lol.
nice job...
Jewelry polishing pastes eat through this stuff... Just apply on the TIM residue covered die, wait a couple of seconds and wipe the stuff off with a Q-tip.Quote:

That neoprene will not save your core if the pressure is not even when mounting the HSF or water block, killed my Duron like that years ago with cracked corner ! :nono:Quote:

Just wondering on opinions for mounting a water block on a cpu with no IHS. Would it be unadvisable to bow the block? thanks
