Not that i'd recommend it, but I took mine off while the PC was still switched on. It more or less just fell off with the slightest pull on it! I had to shut the PC down quick smart though as the temp started to rocket!!!Originally Posted by leoftw
I then took the normal route for the SB and it was a pain to get off but being patient it did eventually!

anyone a clue about Super PI 1.5
I´m running my sys @ 425x9 / Q6600
but if i validate my pi i get "checksum is incorrect"
Sys is prime stable for at least 2hours
memtest -> no errors
dram is @ 1020 / 5-5-5-15 all auto
any ideas?
What temp differences did you get with the HR-05 IFX? I'm tempted to buy two for my NB and SB.Not that i'd recommend it, but I took mine off while the PC was still switched on.

My NB temps are consistently at around 45-49 celcius, which although isn't bad, means that I can't push my NB volts any further without getting paranoid

I've got the iFx on my north bridge and it idles at 36-37 degrees and peaks at 40 under load w/ 1.57V.What temp differences did you get with the HR-05 IFX? I'm tempted to buy two for my NB and SB.

Well on idle its dropped by 3-4ºC, this is without any fans attached to either of them. Its hard to say given the heating in the house is on and off all the time! If you fit an 80mm fan to them with the supplied brackets you should see even better results!What temp differences did you get with the HR-05 IFX? I'm tempted to buy two for my NB and SB.
