all that glue makes it look like some crappy chinese made chip.

you know, like fakes
 
Thanks, Bobnova! :) Interesting read.

Not that I would de-lid a soldered CPU (IMO a bad choice) it doesn't look like there's much chance of that happening even if you wanted to try it ...
 
Nice read; I've never looked into delidding a chip before.

My Athlon 64 X2 is delidded. It's under the stock cooler so I just used TIM to hold the IHS back on until I use a non-stock cooler.

pretty cool, but i couldn't help cringing a little seeing it in little pieces...

Happens to the best of us. Lol The thing is, when *Chew uses Amd, he can afford to do that. :p
 
Chance start writing:) You don't think some of these guys with all this neat stuff actually pay for it do you:sly: Cough Cough:bday:
 
HMMMM? So if I buy an AMD I save $700, cool deal. I just wish I could not buy and someone give me $700:)
 
Lol. Don't we all Archer? I would love to have an extra $700 show up in the mail one day. And then on top of that, if it were to come in a newegg box with a 1090T in it also, I would probably faint. :D
