HOW TO REMOVE i7 IHS

[railmeat]

would this be good for phase? excellent guide

lol i dont think so...condesation on a ihs i 1 thing,but on a direct die...?....water+direct die = no good i think.chilled waterblock should be just fine.


i have cracked naked northbridge chips before,same things as cpu naked i would imagine.my mcw-30 cracked the corner right off of my old dfi 680i.must VERY careful tighting anything down on something like this,slow and even.1/8 in tire lug patern turns only til snug,then done..no more.


i am impressed with your thread dude.tho imust admit my new C0 stepping e8400 with my new multi core(mc)dd tdk block at 30c 1.28 volts 4ghz keeps me content.tho....20 c would be nice =) i am certian i could pop mine off and put my new dd block on it being its 4 screw turndown setup and i know the miamal pressure and method to tighten without damging now.


now a phase change head on direct die i would imagine from a critical pressure point would crack it instantly because the second u gently tightend down on the corners the actual phase "neck" with all the plumbing,wiring,thick foam insulation etc would pull 1/8 inch one way as soon as u let go and .....crack!
