Athlon 64 IHS

CjStaal · Apr 25, 2006

Is it worth it to remove the IHS on an Athlon 64? How much of a chance is their for damage? Can I use artic silver5? How much pressure can the chip have without cracking?

Satchmo · Apr 25, 2006

first of all why would you? the most you lose is 5c.

consider alternatives like if you dont have a decent aftermarket HSnF,water cooling or as5, buy those to reduce heat instead of removing the IHS. these are much safer ways of lowering temp.

If you cant afford to buy another cpu if this one dies then dont even think about removing the IHS.

IHS are integrated heat spreader.

And yes, i gained 150Mhz more on my Sandiego 3700+.

What's the risk on damaginf the core?

Satchmo · Apr 25, 2006

the risk is high.

if you apply to much pressure you either crack the chip, or mash it below the plate its mounted on.

read my edited post.

It can drop temps 10-15c on athlon 64's.
Also, I have water cooling \m/

EDIT: Also, why did you edit your above post?
Just because you made a mistake about what something was, you edit it out?

Satchmo · Apr 25, 2006

well it was a huge useless post. and im tired and didnt feel like rewriting the whole thing. so i started from scratch on the new standpoint, with the new knowledge.

10c on a64's really?

but if youve got WC and are not overheating then dont bother.

CjStaal · Apr 25, 2006

ehh, anything to squeeze out mor Mhz, and look at Kasparz post, an extra 150Mhz =-o

Satchmo · Apr 25, 2006

but are you overheating now? or even coming close to your cpus suggested max temps?

with WC are you even going above 35c loaded?

if not then making ur cpu cooler isnt whats holding ur OC back.

CjStaal · Apr 25, 2006

I haven't even recieved the proccie yet lol :roll:

It's coming today from fedex

woot.

Satchmo · Apr 25, 2006

what did u have before?

lol you dont even have it yet and youre trying to break it.

Kasparz · Apr 25, 2006

Contact between IHS and core was xtremely bad.
60< load. Gained about 20c in full load.
If you mount cooler carefully, and put foam around core, its safer than old a-xp's.

W1zzard · Apr 25, 2006

removing the ihs will give you more overclocking in all situations, however, it's easy to break the cpu while removing the ihs. and no, amd wont rma cpu's without ihs.

Satchmo · Apr 25, 2006

a guide i read states using the foam insulator the cpu came with in packagin can be used to help not bend pins while removing the IHS, and if made of the right type of foam can be safely used to suround the cpu core, and cover the diodes protecting them from possible overusage of thermal compound.

Lekamies · Apr 25, 2006

I use watercooling with a64 3000+ venice @2736Mhz, 1,7vcore (5 months 24/7)
So today i removed hs and quick testing superpi 32M runs 2785Mhz, 1,7vcore.

contact between core & hs was very good, so i dont think it overclocks even 2800Mhz 24/7 stable... more testing....

CjStaal · Apr 25, 2006

well, it's not booting

The post code on the mobo (Abit) is 8.7 which is saying "Check CPU voltage" and I heard a pop from my psu... so I guess I'm not going to be on BF2 for a couple more months... :'(

zekrahminator · Apr 25, 2006

meh rush deliver a nice Antec/OCZ/Thermaltake. It should fix your problems, assuming your CPU isn't cooked. lol mister "I washed my mobo in the dishwasher"

CjStaal · Apr 25, 2006

lol I don't have the $$ anymore, the 3700+ wiped me out of all funds whatsoever

And I'm pretty shure I didn't fry it due to the fact that I haven't even seen the BIOS yet

Solaris17 · Apr 25, 2006

........................you DID put your mobo in dishwasher

CjStaal · Apr 25, 2006

uhh, yeah, last ditch effort to get out artic silver 5 from the socket... don't ask I dont know either.

CjStaal · Apr 25, 2006

What really scares me though is I tried a diffrent power supply and it still didn't work

EDIT: It isn't because I put AS5 on the core, right?

CjStaal · Apr 25, 2006

ohfuckohfuckohfuckohfuck.....
>.<
GODFUCKINGDAMNIT

I just saw, one of those thingys that are around the core, is missing :eek:

WTF DO I DO NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AH G'DAMNIT
EDIT: How can I put this IHS back on?

*Goes on murdorous rampage*

Tonight is going to be a long night.

CjStaal · Apr 25, 2006

Well, at least my new G5 came today \m/

Satchmo · Apr 25, 2006

685 posts, and i will never listen to any advice you give again... thanks for opening my eyes bikrweringleather69

Solaris17 · Apr 25, 2006

you poped off a MOSFET!!!!! wtf were you thinking? damn dude i dk you were a really cool guy then after you put your mobo in the dish washer it was all down hill and then ...AND THEN you got a G5!!!.......

puts eraser to paper and rights bikr692002 a couple slots down on the list.
