that was 5200+ 89W

do you guis know if this F3 are soldered?
i puzzling with idea of removin, i removed 6ihs's but this one is the best core i have now, dont wanna to ruin it.
Actually, if you take a closer look at the picture you posted, you'll se that it isn't soldered, but it's glued. Quintero tried removing the IHS of his F3 X2 5600+, it was glued, and it died.
He tried the "Intel" way of heating the IHS/core to get the IHS off (like they do when the IHS is soldered on)

@gOtVoltage: I'm not so sure that your trc theory applies for all memory on the F3's, as I've been running 4 4 4 7 trc 11 @1000Mhz with my pc6400 Ballistix @2.1v with no stability issues, (as of now I'm running 4*1gb at 4 4 4 7 11@850MHz @2,0v due to multiplier issues)
