x2 4400+ ihs remove w/ xp90 clip on HS!

noktekniq · 11-05-05, 10:51 PM

so i have been reading this thread for the past hr. http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17992 i cn say i learned a lot about ihs removal. but just not yet enough for me to perform on a 4400+ and lay a huge heatsink as mine on a naked dual core processor.

here are some pictures of the cpu with the ihs on and huge xp90c on top of it.
pic 1 pic 2 so these are the pictures. now my only concern is after removal of the ihs with a sharge blade using rubbing alchohol how would i perform the task of putting on a xp90 without killing the core?
i have heard that people use some kind of black padding and cut pieces of it off to put ont he cpu as a kind of protection against the core. (i believe the black padding like styrofoam is the same as the one the chip was shiped in.)
then there's others who bent the xp90 clips. i have no clue which way to bend it and how much to bend. and at last there's people who use the xp90 as a bolt on. as i have hear you clip the xp90 on the retention bracket and after you remove the ihs from the chip you put it back in the mobo. after that you would screw on the retention bracket w/ xp90 to the backplate of the mobo.

which way should i do it? to be the safest? are there pictures that people can show me of there xp90 on the naked cpu. give me some tips. before i make a stupid mistake! :shake:

Sometimes you don't have to remove your IHS unless temps are really holding back your OC. What are your temps at the highest stable OC you've gotten? Removing the IHS isn't hard, but might be a tad risky with a $500 CPU for the first time.

ic an't even get 2.4 stable without volting 1.5 and it easily hits 50C

yea, i would do it if i were you, definitely a bad mounting on the IHS

i'm too gutless to remove my IHSs but some folks remove IHS and clean core and back of IHS and reapply AS5 on core and then put the IHS back on the cpu and still receive lower cpu temps but protect the core

It sounds like you REALLY wanna do this, but I sure as hell wouldn't. I try to remember resale value in my purchases, knowing that I upgrade so much.
