putting the IHS back on.

Tried it. A word of advice.

NO.

Dunno what it is but it makes it run REALLY REALLY REALLY hot. It's not inteded for CPU's, says it right on their site. I know they prolly said that because it'll perm. mount the CPU to the heatsink, but I also think they intended it to transfer so much heat.

I've found the best way is to use some sort of tub & tile epoxy around outer edges with arctic silver ceramique on the core. Make sure you apply a lot of pressure when letting it set. Try to carefully mount and latch down the stock cooler on it, so it makes proper contact with the core once it sets.

use ceramique instead of AS5? and just some dual bonding epoxy will do? nother question lap both sides?
 
Nope. No need. Thin line of epoxy where black epoxy used to be. Ceramique on core. Done.

You should know that pretty much no matter what, it's going to run pretty hot. Hotter than it did before.

My 3200+ I did got 47*C idle :)

My friends opty was 78*C load after arctic silver adhesive on core, thats why I say dont use it. Was stable though.
 
Well if your resealing it and then intend to do subzero, your screwed. These chips are originally sealed in nearly 0 humidity. Your trapping a bit of moisture in their with the epoxy which will condense and fry the chip.
 
NoL, the chips arent sealed regardless. If they were the difference between pressure of air inside and outside would cause it to explode or something, which is why theres breathe holes on HDD's. (I think)

On one side of the IHS there is about a 8mm section where theres no epoxy. Trust me, I've popped I think six IHS' by now.

Thats the side I always start on.

EDIT: s775 IHS' arent sealed, nor are s478.

He didnt say anything about pressure, he said humidity

Yes but Nick is correct that IHS's aren't sealed air-tight. A64's have a small gap on one side, and P4's have the breather hole on the top of the IHS, etc.

Which also means that NoL' theory of humidity is a moot point as it will change depending on the climate that the chip is in, doesn't matter the humidity level of when it was assembled, because it isn't an air-tight seal.
 
Correct, frag :)

I said that only to further prove the point that it could in theory never be sealed, air tight.
