Are Brisbanes soldered?

Brisbane's aren't, see sig.

A amd 6400 would defo be soldered? The temp difference between cores sometimes 10C difference is probs due to crappy IHS!! would be nice if could remove it as my Thermalright 120EX is bolt thru :D

My core temp shows as high as a 20c difference between my 2 cores with IHS OFF so i wouldn't bank on your suspicion.. and yes i've remounted and mounted several times :)

maybe the higher one is the "real" as brisbanes are know to have "bugged" core sensors reporting too low temps.
Maybe one of your cores is reporting more accurate temp... who knows

with the biostar 7025 t utility and the new bios the temps read correctly
on mine.core temp reads 2c on core 0 and 12c on core 1,t utility reads
36-40c,30 with the ac on.before the bios flash it read in the 50s

I wouldn't go much above 1.5vcore either.

i used a a64 freezer pro with my lid less brisbane

Thanks for the fast replay :)
Just to be sure the freezer does make good contact with naked cpu

Looks like I will have some fun next morning , too bad I don't know the temp with my X2 4000+ brisbane .

I Removed IHS but the heatsink didn't touch the cpu core any more , so I put the IHS back with a little super-glue to attach the IHS .

Cooler : Freezer64 pro
MB : Biostar TA690G
Brisbane X2 4000+ @2.85 / v1.35

Does anyone have any idea if the G2 Brisbane chips are soldered? My G1 isn't and is currently naked, and I am considering either a BE-2400 or a 5000BE as a Christmas present.

i had to scrape a bit off the socket on my s939 system to get the stock heatsink to sit flat after i took the IHS off, do you guys still have that little issue with AM2 chips?

I think that has to do with the OEM manufacturer of the socket, be it foxconn or whoever else. I don't know who manufactures the socket on my board but i don't have any clearance issues with the socket AFAIK
