Hello,

I was bored and decided to remove the heatspreader of my still in use phenom x6. The process was quite easy, took me an hour. I cut around the black silicon, than put a lighter below the cpu and it popped up in less than a minute. Here are some pics I took.







The most time consuming part is the removing of the solder on the die. A real pain. I played a little around and the benefit is really small with a high end watercooling, 2-3 degress at most. I would say it was fun but not worth.
