Thank you very much, kocsonya.
I've updated the post.

so i have been reading a couple places. i really want to learn how to remove the ihs for a while. from what i read throughout many forums. i realized that removing the ihs is easy and piece of cake as long as i have the right tools such as the blade and the right thermal compounf i should be set to go.
as of right now i have a 4400+ and it's not overclcoking well with high temps. so i decided to take a risk of either selling the 4400+ for a low price or something or remove the ihs. i'm leaning toward the ihs side right now since i haven't got any offers yet.
the only problem that i'm having right now is how to put on the xp90c that i have onto a dfi mobo without crushing the core on the 4400+ after remova of the ihs. from what i know the xp90c is hell of a lot heavier to put on then other hs.
also i heard that you can put on the heatsink attached to the retention bracket and then screw it on to the backplate as a form of a bolt on. i was wondering if this effective. also is there a way for me to do this? is there pictures? do i need foam on the other side of the cpu?fplease fill me in with all the information you have about putting on a xp90c. thanks
Alright guys I'm currently doing this as I type this to my opty 146 (on a second pc, obviously :P) and I'm really nervous. I taped off roughly 3mm on the blade. I've seen some black foamy stuff come off, but i haven't really pushed too hardm, afraid i'll hit something. How deep should I cut in on these opty's? If I dont cut deep enough I'll never get it off, but I just cant figure out how much I need to do it.
The black sealant is exactly 3 centimeters thick, do NNNNOOOTTTT go past 3 cm or u will cut off resistors. Measure your blade for 3cm thickness and you'll be fine. Make sure you measure correctly.
so you DO have to use quite a bit of force to get thru that 3mm of thickness though, right?
wait wait, 3mm or 3cm?
I think he means 3mm. ;)
It's 3mm anyway.
sorry, I wrote that kind of quick, yes 3 mm, and no u don't need alot of pressure, just a steady hand
w00t i did it :) lol i cut off the IHS of a X2 3800+ (E4)
I used a blade from a disposable razor (tore apart the plastic casing with a wrench) Then i just held it with a folded cotton pad , so pushing on the back wouldn't hurt my index finger ;)
No chipped caps or anything.. Thanks for all the info guys!
yeah i removed the ihs on my p4, had to mod the retention retention bracket to make my xp-120 have good contact, dropped the temps by about 7c, load temps are where this helps me most, idle didnt shift that much.
anyways, x2 3800 up next, but once again, i need to figure out a way to mod my retention bracket, im thinking that gringing off the nubs that hold it above the motherboard should drop everything down enough to ensure good cpu contact.
I think I made it pretty fool-proof for myself. Covered the blade with enough electrical tape not to cut myself or any of the stuff under the IHS.

That is a fansastic pic., what did you use? Also, that space where there is no sealant, can liquid enter into there like when you clean? Did that core make contact all over the hs or just in the very center?
I bought a CAA2C with IHS removed but i want to use it with aircooling and i'm afraid of it because the heatsink i use it's very heavy (1kg).
I have the IHS but i read that without it the temperatures are better so i'm not thinking on put it back right now.
I'm going to put a 9800pro shim glued to the black rubber circles to gain height,stability and to protect the core.
Correct procedure?
Or anyone has better suggestion?
If that shim is not the same height of the cpu core it will make the temps worse.. IF your worried then try to get little pieces of neoprene (?sp) or foam like the old XP processors had to protect the core..Quote:

---Edit---
Update :
After i glued the 9800 shim to the CAA2C the surroundings of the core stayed exactly with the same height as if it has the IHS mounted on it.
opteron 170 DC coming soon..

30 minutes total work for 8C less at load = :toast2: :party3: :thumbsup:
Its very easy...
My advise:
1) A CPU pretty expensive, so dont do it in a hurry, take your time!!!
2) Use a razorblade, I used a gilette...
3) As advise nr.1 take your time, DONT try'n get all through at once, use 3 rounds around the cpu before having cutt'n the thing apart..
4) Work SLOWLY, that way you can prevent accidents, if you see the blade getting down in the green stuff etc. / hitting core..
5) Using any kinda crap to remove the thermal paste is a :nono: use a freakin' Kleenex or some toilet paper, does the job perfectly and without any risk..
6+7+8+9+10) Did I mention, take your time?? - Dont rush :)
just killed my 148 removing the ihs .....knocked a cap
i just removed my 3700+ without drama about 30 mins before this one
it did 3.4 super pi bench with the ihs on
where's my bong :slapass:
Popped mine off tonight after extensively reading this thread and asking alot of advice from Ozzimark. :cool:

Took a bit longer than most of you guys, and had a really bad mount the first time, but now she's loading between 31-32C, compared to 38-40C before. :woot: Most definately worth the added work. Read about it in more detail here.

hmm so how about heatsinks like the Scythe Ninja? Will I have to mod it to fit without the IHS? Will it crack the core if I don´t run with the IHS?
Also is the core flat on the Toledos? It looks kind of bulged on some pictures...
Getting an Opteron 170 oem version so no warranty anyway which is the same as the Toledos I guess.
