how to remove IHS C2D?

Like the above post says, its soildered on. And even if you do remove it you need a blowtorch to do it. theres something silly like a 1/6 chance that you will actually do it without competely destroying the chip, so in the grand scheme of it. its not worth the risk.

People doing this things get the CPU's for free I guess for review of something :p? oh my god otherwise .. lotsa monies to spare :o
 
lol no i just need more cooling ;)

and i have a real dog of a cpu E6300 with 29B stepping and its 50c at default
so was a good cpu to try it on.......soo there hehe

my C2D idles at around 50c and while its hotter than id'e like at idle, it's running at 3.0ghz with the stock heatsink so bearing that in mind, its a pretty good temp, and the cpu is in no danger at 50c. Id'e say once it reaches 70c then its in some danger, but if you can keep it below 60c then you shouldn't worry about it.

Might you have one of those oft-rumored dish-shaped integrated heatspreaders?

Dish shaped? Circle? Never heard of a circle IHS before :confused:

I have 29B, and indeed it's very hot.

But I lapped it and it worked much better, but 40'c is still quite hot. I'm gonna lap the HSF and then the CPU again, then I think I'll get a new HSF when I next get paid.

The stock cooler is circle on the bottom, and my IHS had raised edges and when sanding it down it was kinda like an inset circle in the middle... Maybe the stock cooler would have fit into that inset circle :p It could be a plot by Intel to stop people getting the processors so cool and getting something for nothing by overclocking :D
 
I think he means the IHS not being flat, being con-caved.

There is a chance that the heatsink isn't getting full contact with the IHS with it not being flat.

I would lap the IHS till its flat. Would help transfer heat and lower temps.

IHS are thicker that you think, so lapping it would'nt take you might close to the core, with chances of damaging it.

Just take care and you would ok. Its worth donig it.
 
That'll take you ages, surely!

But you gotta tell us the results. If they're good results, I shall do it myself too :)
 
You will probably die of old age before you completely sand it off, especially without toasting the chip in the process. The best way if you really are dead set on removing it is to place it in the oven at 90-100c if memory serves, it must be upside down, with something supporting it on either side but not touching the IHS. Without looking at a s775 I can't remember if you have gasket to cut through first around the outeredges of the IHS before doing this. Anyway, between 80c-100c iirc the low temp solder (NOT normal solder before folks argue) will reach it'e melting point and drop off.

I don not advise this at all, afaic I would never cook a chip at this temps intentionally and you will also have to remove the top bracket on your mobo socket too. Lapping is by far the best thing to do and is the first thing to do if you think you have heat issues. The Convex/Concave issue with the IHS' affacted soooo many of them it's scary.

Sanding it all off yea. Lapping it normally though, doesnt take ages. Having said that its not as job that should be rushed.
 
Looks easy, heat to ~85 degrees and it drops right off :D

Then twist the metal socket cover off, make some feet if you want and you're done :)
