Hi all,
I'm typing this from my wife's comp. becuase last week I decided to volt mod my processor. The only problem with that is I had to break my socket to get to it
You see, I followed the condensation prevention guide from OCTools, using Conformal coating and dielectric grease. I thought I did everything right and it would have been great if I never wanted to remove my processor. But, like many an overclocker I have to remove things and tweak them. So when I tried removing my processor it was stuck. I'm talking no movement at all. When I tried lifting the ZIF arm it would go almost vertical with no movement in the socket. After attempting to cut away the Conformal coating with no success, I tried heating up the conformal coating with no success. I also tried to just pry out the processor with no luck. So I decided to bite the bullet and take out my frustration on my socket. I figure the CPU costs more and It overclocks really well so I'd rather salvage it than the mobo.
So now I have a nice TH7II-Raid keychain unless ya'll can think of something better.
Also, I'm awaiting a new replacement TH7II-Raid from JazzTechnology which should come in on Monday.
