how to remove IHS C2D?

well my ASUS P5B deluxe died on me lol......so looking for new mobo
maybe nForce 680.....so got 2 mobo to RMA asus & a giga....not great at high end :)

he bottled it, if he's not tryin it neither am i, if i don't want my cpu running at 60c why would i cook it at 100? seems like maddness to me lol
 
I'm getting idle of 37/39C and load of 50/48C.

C2D E6400@ Stock with Ultra-120 w/ Akasa Amber 120mm fan. Case is an Eclipse with front Akasa Amber & rear Scythe S-Flex 800RPM (which has the HSF firing at it)

Seems a little high for me with a HS that is arguably vclose to the TT in performance, with a decent fan mounted. Case has pretty good airflow too.

Reckon i'll see any improvements with lapping the HS, and possibly the IHS? Doesnt sound as deformed as others i have heard about (havent been able to eyeball it) But temps are a little higher than they should be IMO, and room temp isnt exactly scorching ATM.

cpu's can take higher temperatures when not operating

Afaik its not actually the heat that kills the cpu, its electron tunnelling, where the current jumps to and fro different parts of the chip, thus frying it. The heat gives the electrons extra energy to do so.

That may be bs, but i def read it somewhere, pretty sure it was on here
 
on short term, vast excess of heat makes chips go melty....... frying the silicon (dont we all love that smell!).

However, excess voltage, even with maintained low temps (WC, Phase) has a negative impact on chip life.

A is a constant
j is the current density
n is a model parameter
Q is the activation energy in eV (electron volts)
k is Boltzmann constant
T is the absolute temperature in °K

MTTF is mean time to faliure of an electronic component. So for a given chip, increasing the current (I=V/R) results in an increase in current density (current per unit area). This ON ITS OWN will result in a drop in MTTF, even if temperature is kept constant.
