Intel IHS Removal

[largon]

The chip is dead as a brick.
Oh well, it was useless with the IHS on anyways for the chip was priming at 75ºC (CoreTemp) with water cooling.

Absolutely horrible IHS-die contact it seems.

btw,
Don't even bother using a butane lighter for the heating.
I emptied the whole lighter but the damn plate didn't move at all, these things just don't seem to generate enough heat to melt the TIM.
I had 2 package knife blades stuffed under the opposite corners but they merely warped the PCB.

edit: Hmmm... How about an E6600 next...
