Just thought I'd share some eyecandy with ya. This block truley is a work of art, the watercoolers pRon! It is now installed and working in the Thermal Paste! Cathar, thanks again!
Now for some pics:
Yeah, that's my ugly mug :p
And for those of you asking me what the P4 looks like without the IHS:

You need to ask Cathar what they sell for.

Is it made out of silver???? I'd love to know how it compares against the copper version (when i think that i have one of those and i still haven't found the time to install it)

Yes, .999 pure. Should do about 1C better than the copper version.Originally posted by antipop

How much did that cost to make outta that high % silver?
good god what sweet lookin' blockyou realy spoil your self huh nick
what's gonna happen to the original cascade (that is if there was one) ?
Damn that thing is awesome in your case, i think i'll paint mine in silver

Great design, I wonder how it performs?
Could you direct me towards a guide of some sort for how-to? remove ihs from a P4?Originally posted by nikhsub1
And for those of you asking me what the P4 looks like without the IHS:
Why would you want to? Does it help temps?
Yes it helps greatly the temps, there's an how to at www.overclockers.com you'll have to search a bit cause i don't have time atmOriginally posted by Sick0fthelies

Cheers, mate!
Se what I can do and post here my finds from there
OK, got it
Enjoy everyone
nickhsub1 -> what did you use to cut thru the ihs adhesive and how logn/how difficult was it?
Sorry for off topic but I couldn't find anything anywhere on it....
Thanks
Looks just great man!
How's about a report on performance when it's had a couple days for the TIM to burn in?
Your set up should offer a very good high performance comparison of the copper vs silver Cascades.
You've a really nice set up there, congrats.
Unless you accept the fact that you can easily kill your CPU by doing this, then don't! If you are fine with the risk, this is how I did it, took 5 minutes. Get a straight edge razor blade and hold it with a pair of pliers. Work the blade under the IHS at each corner first. Then you sort of cut through each side gently, the epoxy is sort of rubbery and the blade will slice right through it. Just be careful not to hit the core with the blade. Once you cut through the epoxy around the perimeter of the IHS, it should literally fall off. Be VERY careful when mounting a WB or anything to the bare die P4, they are more fragile than the AMD's. I saw a 4-5C temp drop with my setup when I removed the IHS.Originally posted by Jabo

With the lower temps from removing the IHS and a strong cooling system, about how low of temps are you seeing?
I know the temps won't be exact, but interested anyway.
With my current setup, I see about 10 - 11C above ambient on the CPU. Now some say the Abit's read high, but I don't know. With aircooling on the same board/CPU, I saw load temps to 63C.Originally posted by Craig

You must be running low CFM fans on your setup... with dual heatcores I would imagine CPU temps being closer to ambient than yours (unless the temps you gave are full load ones, then congrats mate, great result!)Originally posted by nikhsub1

Thanks for the info and experiences sharing.
My mobo is living on borrowed time. I dropped quite substancial droplet of solder into my cpu socket, right inside one of the pin hole. Thought, yes, I hve just killed my mobo...((( tried to remove it with small pliers and then pincers and then needle and ten... I gave up and inserted my cpu...
it works up till know despite large blob of oridinary solder fooling around inside...
I am not of faint hearted kind, mate !
After about 24 hours, this is what is reported to me via the on die reading in the IC7. Funny how the PWM temp is always hotter than my CPU temp, PWM is the temp of some mosfet I think. This is with 2 instances of FAH running (as always!). Go figure why there are 3 IEXPLORER's in task managerOriginally posted by Craig

Look at that shine !!!! (on the head that is ! lol)
Looks awsome !! great wb IMO
BTW the PWM thermal diode on the IC7 is just next to the cpu socket, near the rear of the board. IMO with water the reading will be alittle high without additional airflow around the socket area.
