Ripped of Stepping off CPU...

[The Coolest]

I removed my orb today!!!
But when I was removing it, I got it off with no problem, but when I took a look the the CPU core I didn't understand what was going on!!! My CPU core was blank and shining... No steppings no nothing! :eek:
Now I'll never know what steppings do I have... :(

[Placid]

Thats too bad :(

He could use a mirror to read it off the heatsink:)

Sorrry, couldn't get anything off that stupid orb all was black no letters no nothing...

ok i've heard that sometimes pressure will actually form the metal of the sink into the shape of the text on the chip, orbs clamp hard dont they? so it could be imprinted there, clean all the stuff off the bottom of the Heatsink, and u may be lucky!

Damn!:mad: Stupid Orb, nothing left inprinted, just a lot of black stuff around the place where the core used to be...

BTW, nice machine u gonna have... I have a P-75 with burnt one IDE port but the second works
