Removing Heatspreader--Specific's, and Help Plz.
Hello.
I'd like to try and remove my heatspreader but I want to be 110% sure first, that I don't break it...and I know many ppl have done it here, so;
Anywho. I have a Thermalright XP-90 heatsink. If and when I remove the heatspreader, will I need to do any modifications to it, or will the lack of the heatpsreader hight work out by easing pressure off the naked cpu?
I have a 3000+ Newcastle, so the core is on the larger size (0.13 process)
Anything i really need to know/mod? Tips?
I've read a lot and basically, all you do is slice it off VERY carefully :slobber: and clean the CPU. Then, apply some thermal paste to the core...and put the heatsink on. :fact:
Just wanna be totally sure. I really, really, really do not want to break this, as i really really really dont have any money to replace it with.
