removing intel ihs

[s3ppel]

Im getting a little high temps on my Tually Celeron 1.1a @ 1466@1.75v : around 42 idle. Using pep66t with 33cfm (c/w around 0.39) so i am wondering if the ihs may have a bad contact and wether I should remove it. What standoffs will i need to place the heatsink onto the cpu itself? Are the plastic feet for coppermines still suitable?

Your temps are not normal....for your o\c speed and the HSF you are using. It should have been lower.

....But,your vcore in my opinion is way up,just for 133 fsb.
Compared to my experience with the 1.1A...it should have been
between 1.60-1.65vc.

So,before attempting to remove the IHS...make sure that there is very good contact between your PEP and the CPU.
I assume you are already using some thermal paste...correct?

Keep us posted

Yes, I am using termal paste, no Arctic Silver, but not bad. I will try to get some AS3 but still these temps seem to be too high. Readings are with Sandra and MBM5 on my Asus P3V4X. The Asus Utility (temp probe) was reporting about 2-3C higher temps so i suppose that is the safety calculation wich is skipped by sandra.

Regarding the 1.75Vcore: With a lower voltage i'm getting errors like "explorer caused an error..." (at 1466, not at default speed 1100), but I get the same errors (at 1466 @ 1.75v) when temps get to high (about 47C after 45min full load). So I'm kinda stuck.

Forget about it !!!

Now that you are going to use the AS-III , make sure you have a very good contact with the HS.

I think that your temps are holding you back.

Also try some burn-in.
(fsb@66mhz...and vcore @max)
Let it run @full load for at least 1-2 days.
Sandra burn-in can do the job.

Always watch your temps.

Also note that the use of AS-III will show results after 2-3 days

Come on this is a serius issue ...

The INTEL is not idiots , they had to add the HS becauce there was not any other way for getting some good cooling for the new small in size cores ..
They did this trick at the P3s and P4s ..

The materials it self as the HS and even the thermal past inside the CPU is ultra high quality .
I had never see any thermal paste , to look like the one that the INTEL uses inside of their CPUs ..
Ok get this picture .... The INTEL thermal paste never gets dry... Why ? .. simply becauce it was never be in liquid form .
The 99% of the thermal pastes ,count on their liquid form ,as the most easy way to aply them ..

The INTEL thermal paste is another story , it is aplyed as one litle ball of material ,and the final step is by the use of presure , they seal the HS with the CPU core .


Knowledge is POWER !!!

I now got AS3: Temps droped exactly 2C. I got a heatsink on my clock generator as well, lets see how much it is good for...

Just to compare my 1.6A @ 2.66GHz runs at 33C idle and 45C full load.. and this is using 1.85v.. so you get over 40C idle is terrible.. and I'm using air cooling.. look at sig below..
