3770k IHS Removals - CPU temp dropped from 79C to 71C

[C-N]

Thanks C-N but my questions if when you put the IHS wich i dont stick with glue again will not scratch the die ??? you got me ?

i just put the IHS over the die not glued and put in socket that moves obvious til it gets in right position this will not scratch the die ?

Sorry for the slow reply Sergio...... I now have my IHS glued back on but can say I did not notice any die damage at all in the month or so I had my chip with the loose IHS & LM.

The die is much more resilient than you may imagine..... as I understand it the majority of what we see is just a big blob of silicon & the business end of this where all the transistors are is at the bottom of this hence just like in the AMD Athlon XP 2500 days you can get away with knocking the edges off & it still works.
