    Removed the IHS Q6600 Working



    I used the boiling water method and it worked like a charm. I noticed some of those SMDs were burnt up. What do they do ? Do they limit or filter voltage ?
    They left all that black stuff on the IHS

    i don't think he burned something the side that this black thing bleeds doesn't have smd's on the chip i think this think is the epoxy that used to glue the HIS with the chip but we need a better picture

    First of a sorry guys but all I had is my cell phone camera. The bad news Was that the chip didn't make it to long made it about a day and never manage to stay stable. the main problem was hat I had to have extremely good contact and I couldn't achieve that. so I decided it was time to upgrade so I knocked off three resistors and it still posted once. The chip died within about 30 mins. The next thing I did was disect it and I split the levels of silicon so I could se the die directly like in the die shot photos. and thats the end of that chip. on the good news I guarantee to complete this with my new penryn chip I will be getting soon.

    The burnt SMDs were the ones to the right most.
    I will most die shots of both chips when I get my Q9550

    I did remove the LGA cap and the cooling was a copper ninja with a bolt down method

    Did you remove the latch that holds the CPU in? That's the key for getting good contact with IHS-less LGA775 chips (and having a flat surface on the HSF/waterblock).
