Just removed the IHS from my Q6600

Nebulous · May 25, 2008

Ok, the $99,000.00 question remains: Did the victim...oops i mean..patient survive the operation? Inquiring minds wanna know.

Oh and btw hank..I keep getting this image of you driving an old, multicolored Dodge pick-up truck, with a mutt in the front seat, a confederate flag stuck to the back window along with a couple of rifles and country music blaring out from a portable radio, lol.

now yeah back to your temps....did you fix that or what? or did you just do all of that for no reason @ all....and funny thing is my IHS doesnt have solder on it...it looks like if i put a razor under it i could pop it up....lol...maybe with the help of a blow torch

From the looks of how the guts are...i think you could of done that job with just 1 tool...maybe 2....a dremel and a razor...and maybe could of finished it in 1 hour if your careful

Not all chips are soldered on, some are indeed only glued on. For a complete list, see here.

Kudos man, did the temps get better after lapping the dice ?

Not yet, and they're actually toastier. Something is not making contact

Dale407 said:
UPDATE! UPDATE! Plz...... I've been on the edge of my seat!

1.) Copper ring around the dies is sanded down as far as it will go.
2) Both dies have been lapped to remove all the Intel thermalcrap on them
3.) Waterblock still isn't making full contact, so the dies need to be lapped until they're both identically flat

Yes it survived, and it works. Temps are just currently higher then I would like :beer:

ghost_recon88 · May 25, 2008

Also, I have Creamique on it since I ran out of AS5 (too many installations of this chip) :shrug:

Here are my temps after having my comp on for about 12 hours.

eternaljammer · May 25, 2008

Nice job on that chip mate!

Anubis_386 · May 25, 2008

Those temps don't look too bad .. Is that after doing the sensor calibration??

antipacker · May 25, 2008

what about load temps when overclocked?

MadMan007 · May 25, 2008

Is your waterblock bowed or not? If it's bowed I think that would make even mounting a little harder.

Brolloks · May 25, 2008

He has an Apogee GT, not bowed afaik

Well well, congrats are in order :thup:

I thought for sure that chip was done

Spawn-Inc · May 25, 2008

i think to get decent temps you will need 2 waters blocks, custome made for each core on a frame with each side being adjustable.

Sarsbaby · May 25, 2008

Wow. I'm sure that even my Dremel will want to try this. Maybe when I get an E8400, maybe.

So far i'm seeing more problems and time spent than better temps though. Is that little chip off the one corner of the far right part (I don't know what it is) above your cores giving you any trouble? It looks like you just barely knicked it with somethng while cutting.

Are you lapping both dies at once with an even surfaced sander, or "..a little on this one and then a little on this one.." until they match?

Well, if you ever do this again at least you'll have experience at it.

That little chip was there, because with 35k RPMs going on the dremel, if I nicked it, it would have gone flying. I am lapping both cores at once using some 3000 grit sandpaper. And yes, I plan on doing it again

Sndm3mny · May 25, 2008

im still trying to figure out why someone would do this if it makes temps higher?

gigabit · May 25, 2008

usally it helps temps

BLHealthy4life · May 25, 2008

wow, that is brutal.

You should have just lapped the IHS as thin a possible instead of tearing off the top...

hmm thats actually not a bad idea, though if you don't have control over the pressure the heatsink/water block puts of your chip you might get worse temps since it isn't as tight.

I was actually thinking of doing that on the next one, since you can get it a whole ton thinner then the default thickness, and without breaking into the die area.

Shiggity · May 25, 2008

IHS's are for quitters, right ghost?

more pics!

pillowsack · May 25, 2008

Good job going naked with that. I would never try that unless i had the money incase i ****ed up. Otherwise i'd try the blow torch approach.

Right now my 4000+ is naked, and at stock it would never get above 32C.

That's right, so send your chip over
