e4300 IHS Removed!

[s_p_kay]

if you're referring to the motherboard's retention bracket on the s775 socket, then yes, it can be removed.

heheheh- LMAO - yeah I actually removed mine from my P5B-E when I got thinking it was a "rather" protective cover for the socket ;-) Needless to say I hadn't built a system in a number of years and was expecting something akin to older processors. The good news is it's almost as easy to put back on as it is to remove it.

wow

[I)ickie]

So how many people have actually done this?
I think i have counted only two in this thread.

My L630B e6600 runs very hot compared to another L642A e6600... and that's at the same oc/vcore... could it because I've got one e6600 with paste rather then solder under the IHS?

Hmmm i suppose this could be the connection to why the newer core 2's (B revs) run so hot.....

Anyone got pics of removed retention bracket and cpu?

I have them at home. I'll post them later.

Replaced the Artic Cooling cooler for the Ninja Rev.B and now I have very good temps. I has having high temps on Coretemp with IHS on because the cooler only made contact with the edges of the IHS. It was running in high 60's. Now with IHS removed I have temps in mid 30's (in Coretemp). Temps in Asus Probe also went down, but don't remember the old value. Now it's in the low 40's.

I was having trouble at 3ghz, now i'm priming at 3.2 stable.

great stuff @Kristoferr

So does anybody know for sure that witch C2D chip's have IHS soldered to them.
i so whant to pop it off from 6600

[overclock]

When the IHS is removed, how can the CPU be maintained in the socket ? Indeed, it seems to me that the IHS is necessary ?

And is the contact between the die and the base cooler (waterblock, Mach II GT) possible ? Indeed, the height of the die may be lower than the height of the socket ?

ive already lapped my cpu so warranty is not an issue.. just the fear os smashing the core with the evap head..

use a shim and you wont smash or crack or chip the core...

maybe build up around core with Epoxy resin and flaten of..

That's why I haven't removed the IHS on mine e4300 - I don't know how to cool it :-/.

I think the ThermalRight Ultra 120 perhaps will reach the core without IHS - but i'm not sure. I asked ThermalRight, but they were not much of a help...
See this picture here: http://img.neoseeker.com/v_image.php...d=1940&image=3 - dosen't it look like the hight of the IHS isn't nessecery ?

could you do this and use the stock cooler?

Why not?

hi again

I tried to remove IHS from E6300. It was soldered.
I got IHS off and visually all looks ok, no damage.
But... cpu does not boot. Somehow i broke it
i do not recomend removing IHS nothing but E4300 witch is only core 2 duo what is connected with epoxy.
Removing soldered IHS is extremely dangerous!

[specofdust]

Sucks to hear theres no boot on the 6300, good luck getting it going if you can. And great work on the original, I just found this thread now but I'm impressed by your initial results. I know I could never have a steady enough hand to shear an IHS off.

[theteamaqua]

how did u install the cooler?? cuz wont that be too low?? i mean ur CPU is like below the socket holder ...

[hstuehmeyer2000]

i was just curious if you would crush the core as tight as that thing fits

use a shim that way you wont crush the core

[I)ickie]

anyone try this with an e4300 and not see success?
also would still love to see some pics

[freakBYnature]

Very cool! I would try it on my E6300 if I thought there was any chance I could just slice around the edge w/ a exacto knife and pry off the IHS. Especially if I can expect 8-10C temp improvement!

NO PRYING!!! Only cutting... killed my already halfdead manchester with to much pressure on blade, don't get me wrong... it needs to be very firm cutting, but not hard, if you get the idea. It was just for practice anyway, had the FX60 lying just WAITING to be undressed! Lost about 10c on it, so now with 0.1V ekstra (1.45V) it's what it used to be at 1.35V. The Manchester (3800+ x2) died because I was to uncareful with the blade, and I destroyed som components underneath IHS. Se the FX60 thread and you'll see picture.

It took some serious home-inventing on heatsink though, used (not kidding) a matchbox, som tape and I also broke an old, thin electronical screwdriver to mod it tight... but then again, this is s939 not 775

[Kristoferr]

is it still working???

[I)ickie]

K.J
was that an e4300?

[hstuehmeyer2000]

i bet thats the e6300 , the pics of the e4300 are on the first page

[Volkum]

KJ did you put that IHS back on or did you somehow (how?) remove the solder from the core?

[bassie]

i bet thats the e6300 , the pics of the e4300 are on the first page

e6750

You lost
