lacisnot Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 i remove the ihs and i filed down the stands so that the hs will make better contact but now im getting 54/55 load with 1.66 volts as opposed to 50 before the IHS removal. hwo can i fix this??? thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniper007 Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 Re-seat it again? Apply more pressure? Perhaps you were being too cautious with applying pressure to the core due to lack of IHS. Ive never heard of temps being higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDog69 Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 hjmmmm yeh...i think a bit more filing mite do it... i was a bit cautius.. i will try tomorrow When you remove the heatsink, you should be able to see the contact patch from the thermal compound, and see how "tight" they are fitting by how thin the layer of thermal compound was after the heatsink was attached. I would imagine this would tell you if you have a good contact or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dynamic Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 Why would someone even mess with that anyway? Did you scratch up the surface or something? Even if you did scratch it up you can use AC5 to fill up the scratched area's. So when you put the HSF back on it will have better contact. I would never mess with the IHS on any processor. I hope you get it working, unless you want to cash out for anything CPU soon. GL! Note: It's like trying to pull off your HSF and all of a sudden you hear this big bang, and see your IHS at the bottom of your HSF, now that's not a good thing. How would you put that back on, on top of the core? <----THERE I JINXed myself. Damn.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you put that back on, on top of the core? If his IHS is scratched up to the point where he would want to remove it due to this reason, then AS5 would in no way repair such damage. You talk as if it can be applied like filler to some walls. Its not designed for that. It is designed to be used to iron out very very slight imperfections in the surface of the spreader, since it will not be perfectly flat, where by a very thin layer is applied. The reason for IHS removal is fairly obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dynamic Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Yeah, so he can just easily crack his core if he drops his HSF wrong, hehe. You said it all Rookie, and thanks for telling me to go back to school bro, i love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

THunDA Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Why would someone even mess with that anyway? 1. It gives you lower temps.. 2. There is a possibility of clocking higher.. 3. This is the MODIFICATIONS section !! :nod: Some of us will go to silly lengths to get a few more mhz, even if it does mean voiding a warranty.. Lets be nice to each other guys.. If someone has a problem then please report it to a mod or admin through pm and we will take care of it.. note: Mods and Admins can see deleted posts just in case you didnt know that..

Make sure that your heatsink is even when you place it on the core. I know a lot of heatsinks have problems sitting correctly and need to me modded. The best way to see this is by looking at the pattern of the TIM and yes some people have had sifnificant improvements from this not that I have removed one myself though I am tempted!

EdLSmith Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 A 175 Opteron is 90 NM tech, Dual Core. That looks like 130 nm single core. What? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
