Can someone take a look at this damaged chip please?

no changes whatsoever with it? voltage wise or even stablity? as that is surprising if 3 resistors can be chopped off with no apparent damage.

I used to be able to run it @ 3ghz with 1.45v. After my accident it can do 3ghz on 1.425v. I posted this over at Extreme and apparently its not
uncommon. Those 3 resistors have something to do with voltage regulation. At higher volts I may experience some issues, but I never have to take this chip over 1.45v.

Guess I'm just lucky...

If it does 3GHZ on that voltage, why dont you up it to 1.6 and see what more you can get

LOL! I have mate, before I cut it. didn't really make much difference. I reached 3.1ghz but wasn't very stable. maybe under water or vapo it would be a 3.4ghz chip, but i'm on air only. I don't actually use the chip anymore, it just sits in the cupboard gathering dust! tonite, i'm gonna get it out and have a play...you've inspired me! LOL

Did you use a sledge hammer to take that IHS off?

And applied the AS5 blind folded?

I did this to my Opteron 146 - note the 3 resistors sliced off the left hand side during IHS removal. Works fine, in fact works better !!! LOL

Cool! Hold on, I'm just going to get my fx-60 so I can check it out for myself
I'll be back with a progress report soon
