i chose the "cut it well and make it look cool method"Originally Posted by s7e9h3n
I used a bit of NAPTHA. It was a little scary though since NAPTHA is used to dissolve any silicone based material. I was afraid it might eat through the green layer of the cpu, but didn't have any probs thankfullyYou should be able to find it in the same section they carry common chemicals in your local hardware store....
Got a fan over those memory sticks? No? Well get to it before you kill them
And cool it looks indeedi chose the "cut it well and make it look cool method"

Immaculate, i'd say.And cool it looks indeed
I've seen a couple of dutch lads using a shim of a Geforce 6 series card to prevent the core from crushing, that made it look even cooler!

Well, Dont think its nesserary, never wasted a XP core, nor a A64 core... - You really need to try hard in order to waste the core on A64..More secure with pads

Mine looked even better than that when I took the IHS off, but to get a "cleaner" looking cpu, I took off the black stuffi chose the "cut it well and make it look cool method"
hehe, i definitly can't argue against, it does look very nice properly cleanedMine looked even better than that when I took the IHS off, but to get a "cleaner" looking cpu, I took off the black stuff

I learned the hard way without pads on FX57 and cascade
Without pads we have to be really careful.....this cascade's evap can do some damage

I bent a pin while using a razor blade to take mine off, then While mounting XP90c thru mobo with screws instead of cret bracket I also chipped a corner, she still posted but after 1.55 she finally called it quits
May her soul rest in peace, I would post pix but Cant find usb cable from Digi Cam

I know. But no problem, cpu will be replaced by an 146 @ 2.9Ghz.Jupiler, that was a PERFECT D2OL candidate, WHY!!!!!!Nah, J/k, accidents happen. Good you learned your lesson.

I've got Supermicro boards that lasted longer than one of my marriages!
Ooooo... great idea! I am popping the lid on my sandie soon and was wondering what I would use to support the core.Immaculate, i'd say.

This is what the PO of my CPU did to keep the core from crushing under weight
Said he put a few dollops of epoxy then took a peiece of glass and made it flush with the core and then took it off when it dried I think
EDit, sorry about image size

I can picture in my mind a world without hate, a world without violence.
And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
you know what I really dont understand about chip makers, why wont they just add shims like on ATI's cards that sit flush or slightly lower than the core... it would be so perfect!

That's reasonable. AMD would get better yields as well, so it should make them some money.you know what I really dont understand about chip makers, why wont they just add shims like on ATI's cards that sit flush or slightly lower than the core... it would be so perfect!

Just removed the IHS on my 3500+ using the pics here as a guide.
Worked like a charm and took maybe 3-5 minutes max. Curious to see how the temps work out after all this.
curse you people, you make me so tempted to pop the top on my 3200 newcastle. stinkin POS walls at like 2600. stupid POS 754 system!
Well, if its a stupid POS...then show it who's boss and pop it's skirt off.
Agreed, I was scared at first also but after I did it I was so happy with temp drop on a X2.. Ill pop everyone I get from now on..Well, if its a stupid POS...then show it who's boss and pop it's skirt off.
