I did it my IHS removal (E6300)

[Rubiconx3]

I did it guys My first successful IHS romoval on a 775 soldered on chip My L629A E6300 was the donor

First i did the norm of cutting all the silicone off the ihs, then i setup the 4 razors so they overlap each other and give pressure to the chip. then set it on two glasses (on the razors edge) so that when the solder melted the chip would fall. Then used a small butane mini torch to heat the ihs quickly and it dropped. Cleaned off the solder with my fingernail and a razor and plopped it back in. Used to idle @ 33c now down to 28-29c

Whoah nice work that looks so amazing
Hey if you could could you please give us a guide on how you mounted the chip thats what is stoping me from poping the top . thanks

[Rubiconx3]

All i did was take the top hold down off the socket and let my block hold the chip in

[Kobalt]

What's the difference in load temps?

[Rubiconx3]

bout 3-5c depending

[mukmaster]

Dude wow great work I though i would crack my core doing that I probaly will make a shim. Thanks

[Rubiconx3]

Never used a shim but i heard about 3-4 strips of electrical tape is the perfect height

[buffbiff21]

How did you compensate for the HSF/block not being at the same height? Isnt the core under the silver LGA775 socket mount?


EDIT:

nvm heh...

Arent you worried about the block crunching the core?

[fireandice]

ballsy man i would never try anything like that. i poped a few ihs's of a64s but never done one soldered. Major props for you.

i would of also never thought about heating it like you did so the chip fall as soon as its lose.

anyways good job man.

[Kristoferr]

good job m8 !

I would try same with p4 651 soon

Allready did E4300 (epoxy) and Celeron (soldered)

[bassie]

That's sick.

I never did worry. Ive done about 15 or so naked amd's with BT's and infinity coolers and even a tuniqtower. Never once damaged a core.

Do you have to heat up the core directly to clean off the solder once the top is popped?

Thanks!

[Rubiconx3]

Nope it scrapes off with a finnger nail, its very soft. I used my fingernail for the large clumps then a razor you get the rest, when i was done i used metal polish to clean it the rest of the way

Cool!

I may have to try this myself...

sure, my lapping is good... for now.

[apexracing]

Good work with that, couldn't fathom doing it myself. The thought of dead hardware is too daunting.

[Rubiconx3]

thats why i tried it on my cheap chip lol

[Console]

Nice Job .

[Garrett]

Wonderful, looking at the naked cpu in the socket... absolutely gorgeous... could this be done with a normal cigarette lighter too? :thumbsup:

[Rubiconx3]

you can try but i think aomething like what i used is the best because i could evenly heat it

[K.J.]

How do you clean up it completement???

this is mine, I cleaned it just by hand , and it is not very clean@.@

[Rubiconx3]

metal polish to clean the core, then a razor to carefully clean the silicone, then i used the metal polish to clean any traces of the silicone

[Roger_D25]

Great job man, well done! I was just thinking the other day if anyone had successfully pulled the IHS off of a C2D yet, well now I know! You are the first person I know who has done this successfully although there is a good chance someone else already did it?

By the way, although I read through the thread I'm still wondering how you were able to push the CPU into the socket (so that BSEL pads would make proper contact with socket pins)? I would assume that the force of mounting the heatsink was enough to properly push the CPU down into the socket? Thansk for your help and once again, great job!

[Rubiconx3]

Yup ive been running the rig since i did this without the socket cover. THe pressure from the block is sufficient
