S939 A64 IHS Removal

[Jokester]

From the photos I've seen it looks like it would as it seems to clip onto the standard CPU heatsink mount.

Even with more voltage?

Jokester, just a thought. With both AMD and Intel now producing their CPUs with soldered/welded/glued/whatever it is IHS, which are not removable in the normal way. You might want to put something in the very first post here, in case some poor blighter reads it and gets a knife out and tears the core from the CPU.

I changed the title to S939 A64 IHS Removal a few months ago so that's about a prominant as it'll get short of saying S939 in giant letters .

Can you unlock the multiplier with the heat spreder off? it looks a lot like the socket a athlon.

No, it's done within the core proper, as far as I'm aware the multipler and voltage settings are stored within a type of flash ROM that's programmable but nobody's worked out how to do it.

People were trying for years to find out how AMD did the programming of the chips, and only the occasional temporary unlocked chips following a CPU swap showed that they weren't physically locked.

Toledo core?
