what about IHS off and 7000B-ALCU ???
Just done this last night. Got a 8C drop in load temps
Anyone know how to do this with a Zalman 7700? I took the IHS off of my opty today and took off some of the resistors next to the core while doing it :eek: Thank god the cpu still works but ambient temps are still the same and load temps have gone up from 56-59 to about 60-63. I put 4 this pieces of cardboard on the corners of the cpu, but the heatsink still wobbles around a bit. Any ideas? Also, what exactly do those resistors next to the core do? I took 4 of those off while taking off the IHS.
Hmm, does the stock HSF maintain proper contact with the cpu if the IHS is taken off?
I want to pop the top on my opteron 146, but it will be a while until I get my w/c system back up and running (using stock HSF now).
Oh yeah, has anyone had any troubles with uneven contact between the HSF bottom and core? I read that the bottom of a HSF often hits the "cam" lever of the cpu socket since it CAN be higher than the core (but by a very small amount).
You are really lucky its still working, can you post a picture :)Quote:

i'm thinking about doing it to mine but scared of the clearance that may occur taking off the IHS
I have a xp-90 on a naked venice very easy way of putting on the heatshink without causeing damage is to do what they tell you to do here http://www.thermalright.com/product_default.htm
put in the 2 front hooks by tilting the heatsink foward then just angel it down to contacting the chip while pulling the heatsink up and let it come down flat, then clip in the remaining clips.
They aren't resistor but SMD capacitor packs. Guess they filter vCore.Quote:
