    Determining whether the IHS is soldered or not?

    Hey I know someone who is interested in popping the lid of his FX-62 but we don't want to do it if the IHS is soldered on for obvious reasons. The date code is 0630vpmw, is this before or after the IHS's got soldered?

    Check the Copyright Date on the IHS. afaik, if it's copyright 2001 AMD, it's not soldered. Copyright 2005 AMD is soldered.

    applies to all, but not all are soldered. while the C 2005 chips have been soldered, i'm pretty certain i've seen a few that aren't... so it's really a toss-up. better safe than sorry though, eh?
    Got a fan over those memory sticks? No? Well get to it before you kill them
