I just managed to kill my E6600. Going to have to order a new one. Thinking of going with a Xeon 3060. Is it worth the few extra dollars? Right now anything faster is a bit over budget for me. Any thoughts are welcome.

Nope. I tried to take the IHS off. It was going good until it fell onto the padding I had under it. It started melting the padding. So I grabbed it up and tried to pull the melted stuff off before it could harden up. I ended up pulling most of the parts off the back side. Guess if I had let it cool down it would have been fine.

So has there actually been a story of a C2D dying from volts or temps yet?
Lu523,
So you ripped some SMT parts off the package?
Why not try soldering them back?
You were not supposed to see this.
nope
I had thought about that, but my soldering skills suck.

BTW, how did you heat the IHS to melt the solder? If you ask me you let it get much too hot. I did remove some Socket775 IHS, but never did I have to heat them so much that the solder on the backside's SMD parts melted.
Quote from one of our professors:
"Reality is hiding in the imaginary part."
If the bottom of the processor was that hot chances are good it was ruined before the SMDs were pulled off.

Yea, too much heat on it. I heard a pop, but it did not come apart. Put some more to it then it went.
