desire Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 popped the top off my venice 3000+ today and everything went pretty smooth. I hope I have the same success on my 146, this 3000+ was my practice run. http://img371.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscf38377bi.png I have xp-120 so I cant really use it on naked core. (yet) Running prime small FFT stock speed, volts and cooling: 38degrees One question... (I will have to test this myself anyway) would I see better temps with naked core on stock cooling, or reapply/lap/as5 the IHS and continue using my xp-120?

Majin Vegita Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 great vid! very informative, even to someone who's never owned a 64. i'm sure the IHS adhesive that holds it to the core can be removed also, via rubbing alcohal/arctic clean?

General Septem Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 By the looks of the stuff, no. And I wouldn't scrape it off either because if you go too deep you could essentially kill the CPU. There's a guy on this forum that killed an Opty when he accidentally cut into the core while removing the IHS. Besides there's really no reason to remove it, since it's not in the way of anything and you'll never see it once you've got a block on there.

Likwid Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Thinking of "stripping-down" my Opty. Will I need to make any modifications to the Storm's mount to install, or will it tighten-down just fine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsAs1n8eR Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Ok yesterday I gave up tottaly on the IHS(before I just changed the thermal beneath it) and my temp dropped another 3*C.This trick is awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Games Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 great vid! very informative, even to someone who's never owned a 64. i'm sure the IHS adhesive that holds it to the core can be removed also, via rubbing alcohal/arctic clean? the thermal material between the cache core of the cpu and the IHS can be cleaned with alcohol yes the black epoxy seal that holds the IHS to the cpu cannot be cleaned off with alcohol (it is epoxy seal after all!). you can use a product called Solvoplast (apparently only available in Canada, it is an adhesive remover) but as I have found out and shown in the video, it is totally unecessary.
