If its soldered that might not be a good idea.
If its not soldered then it would pop easier then (Use your imagination):D
Well we would have to do it just to make sure.Quote:

A month ago I bought an Athlon 64 3500+ AM2 and it was pasted.
From the pictures I have seen S754,939 and AM2 are pasted. Socket F Opterons are soldered, so I assume all LGA chips are soldered
Well I forget who exactly it was but he had a FX-62 and found out the hard way that the IHS was soldered on. This was when the chip was almost $1k as well.Quote:

what matters is the WEEK.:fact:
You are contradicting yourself on one point over there:stick: . If the week matters, then so does it matter when the chip was bought, as they are kinda dependent on eachother..Quote:

True if you bought a CPU before they started to solder the IHS on then you won't have to worry about it, but at this point whether you bought a CPU a month ago or a month from now, you could still get an earlier week CPU that isn't soldered, or you could get a more recent week that is.Quote:

Where do you find the date of production? All i see on my box is the date that it was packed 12/9/06 is this a soldered heatsink Quad core?Quote:

Ill get my Fuzion in two days and will post but I dont have anything to compare it with since I currently have a crappy Koolance 305 water block that cant handle the quad core.
you're running a koolance system and are about to put a high-flow copper block in it? are you insane?
What if he puts about three bottles of water wetter in there and adds a magnesium anode? or has the Fuzion gold plated? :-)
I have a Koolance PC4 1026 case is that pump to weak to handle the Fuzion block? I only have two danger den blocks 8800gtx blocks on there with the cpu block. They are in series is that bad?Quote:

I can confirm as others did that the Dtek Fuzion has a slight convex shape at the base. This could explain why the block did so well the first night of the Swiftech challange and beat a flat based Apogee GT.
I just got it in and left the plastic cover on the base and put it on a glass table and the Fuzion block could be spun around pretty easy on its center base.
I will install it and see how it does, I wont do a detailed report but what I see. I have a swiftech apogee GT on order to and should be here in couple of days so I can compare.
Fuzion seems well made the instructions are very basic.

I am back from Vegas. . .maybe we can meet to "deshimmy" and do some benching? Remember, my rig got hosed by FedEx shipping it back from Vegas a month ago. I need toime to figure out what's wrong and begin to set things right. Call or im me if you wanna set something up.Quote:

number 1, it'll still harm the blocks, number 2, gold plating is a BAD thing, it'll make it so you may as well not be using the block. number 3: does nothing for the 1/4in 1/2in problem.Quote:
