I Did It!! Naked C2D!!!

[Thawaxshop]

I did it guys My first successful IHS romoval on a 775 soldered on chip My L629A E6300 was the donor

First i did the norm of cutting all the silicone off the ihs, then i setup the 4 razors so they overlap each other and give pressure to the chip. then set it on two glasses (on the razors edge) so that when the solder melted the chip would fall. Then used a small butane mini torch to heat the ihs qickly and it dropped. Cleaned off the solder with my fingernail and a razor and plopped it back in. Used to idle @ 33c now down to 28-29c

Wow mate, CONGRATZ! That's not the easiest of processes. I thought about doing it but I'd just rather not risk it. If I had one of the TIM'ed chips I'd do it in a heartbeat. Lapping might be my best option at this point.

i have a quad here im gonna try it on... I also have a E6400 on the way i might do it also

 

[NickS]

I'd do it if I didn't have to mod the mobo's retention mechanism. That to me is just a pita.

 

[Thawaxshop]

mod??? no modding i took it right off, came off easy and my block hold the chip in
