Yeah well... there's overclocking, and then there's rape!

I prefer to look at it as unleasing the "true power" of the chip

you need a new chip man
time to get more power so u can see what d9gkx can do

[Dee]

Agreed. But I'm sure Ket would buy a new chip as soon as possible if lack of immediate funds wasn't a major factor.

[Ket]

Indeed I would order a new chip right now if I didnt have to buy\pay for so much stuff atm. Over the space of about 5hrs alone on the weekend I spent about £50 while I was out with mates

I also want to unhood the E4400 simply just so I can find its very top foot-to-the-floor speed. Nows a good time for somebody to grab all 3 RAM kits I don't need

I never said The Cellshocks didn't get hot I just said any D9 IC can handle up to 2.2v without active cooling, but active cooling is advised beyond 2.1v

Yeah, load the cores get to 84c Anyone know of any solvents I can pick up that will corrode the rubber sealent stuff and leave the CPU itself undamaged?

I was just kidding around Active cooling is recommended, they get so hot when running Windows memtest or even the bootable cd memtest, hotter than just Orthos/OCCT etc. Same with the NB, that Windows memtest app makes my NB hit 50*C.

I would try to avoid industrial solvent, acetone may be too harsh, and isopropyl alcohol (that I use to clean pretty much everything) may not be strong enough.

Cut it through with a razor blade, then gently heat the IHS with a lighter (not too hot) and remove it. Should come off I think the 4400's are just paste aren't they not the indium solder?

[Ket]

Yep supposed to be just TIM with the 4 series, so far I've tried a scalpel, stanley blade and a razor blade, none of them can get under the IHS, the black sealent really is on very thin.

My additional 2x1GB CellShocks "Red Devil" will be in my hands this week. It`s interesting, how much vDimm i need to be stable with 4x1GB

A razor does actually work. Cover the blade about 2mm from the tip with tape so it doesn't slip in and use a fair amount of pressure. Start at the corners

You won't need more vdimm to make 4 x 1GB stable, you'll need more vNB The sticks just need what they need normally for stability, it's the load on the MCH that increases thereby needing more vNB.

Thank you for your reply I`m glad to hear my Shock will not ask for more volts.

Fast test with 4x1GB (2xCrucial pc5300 and 2xCellshock pc6400) 2.20volt 1225mhz



Both kit should be with D9GMH and do around 1300mhz cl5 2.3volt, think 1333 is max i have seen.

Crucial pc5300 1284 5-5-4-8 2.3volt

[Ket]

Turn that vcore down unless you want to kill that wolfie within a few months. 45nm chips can NOT handle voltages above 1.45v and live a long life. At 1.7v your wolfie will die within a year.

[Dee]

Yeah, that's pretty silly.

That Crucial PC5300 is great, btw. I'm sure you know this already!

Tried it. I attempted to use a disected Gillette Mach 3 blade, it just won't get under the IHS.

[WaterFlex]

Like your Crucials! You reached high clock btw. Can you pass Windows MemTest with that voltages?

[[XC] Oj101]

A year? A year from now the E8400 will be a fond memory

It's very strange that the blade won't go in. I had to use quite a lot of pressure (as in far more than felt comfortable) to get the blade in but once it was in it was easy going

[Ket]

In a year a E8400 clocked @ 4GHz+ will still be a powerful monster of a chip I have no interestin in Nehalem until it matures a bit, so once its out I may jump on about 8-12 months down the line. I might try one more time to remove the IHS, but its so damn difficult its nuts. When I tried using the disected razor I was using quite a bit of force but the blade just kept bumping the side of the IHS, and when I tried just a very slight angle approach to try squeezing it by it just ended up shaving sillicon.

Nice clocks and congrats on breaking 10sec SPI1M. That sure is an aggressive vcore.

Maybe you need to use a Gillette fusion power blade Sounds like you've had a serious crack at it, perhaps it's just not going to happen. Does the IHS just have such a tiny thickness of silicon between it and the substrate that a blade cannot fit between them?

[Ket]

Yep thats pretty much it. Which is why I'm trying to find a solvent that will corrode it but leave the chip itself undamaged. I know that TIM needs replacing.

[CryptiK]

Give some pure acetone a go, but first test it on the substrate to make sure it doesnt eat it away. If it seems ok, use a cotton wool ball or cotton tip (ie: cue - tip, not sure what you guys call them) and soak an edge of it and see if it softens.

[Ket]

Acetone? What is that? White Spirit?

[CryptiK]

No not white spirit, we call that Metholated spirits here, Acetone is what is used in nail polish remover and gives it that characteristic strong smell.

Check it out:

I use it to clean off Asus thermal paste, that really sticky stuff, and other things. It's pretty strong stuff so be careful. It can dissolve some things but Ive cleaned NB chips, CPU IHS's, heatsink bases etc with it. I also have cleaned circuit boards with it so it depends on what the substance is, some things it can dissolve others its ok with.

[Dee]

EDIT: NVM. CryptiK beat me to it.

Perhaps you should first try it on an old stick of RAM or graphics card first, something expendable.
