Angry_Games Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Bout the IHS removal? is it ok to place a heavy hsf ontop of it with the core being naked? Or is everyone who does this mod using water? I use SLK-948U Thermalright heatsinks. The weight of the heatsink is not as important as the distribution of the weight as well as the balance of the sink. sinks like clip-on sinks (thermalright XP-90 or 120 etc) are bad bad ideas on bare heatsinks because you have to force pressure to one side or another during the clip-on process (however there's ways to bolt them on, just search around). Most of us use water on bare heatsinks...ie: most of those crazy enough to remove the IHS, are guys who are already extreme and will be into watercooling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it necessary to use a razor blade like the one you used in the tut? Cos i'm gonna try using a retractable knife(stanley knife over here) it looks just like this You can adjust the blade to a safe point so that you can't go too far into the side of the proc, killing something you shouldn't. My only worry is that the blade is a little thick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 blade is too thick I've tried one like that, a real razor blade for carpet knives, an extremely thin Xacto knife blade, etc I've tried just about everything Go to Walgreens or Eckerds or whatever drugstores they have in London that has shaving/razor blades, toothpaste, a pharmacy, bandages etc (not sure if you know what Walgreens or Eckerds stores are like in the USA) buy double-edged razor blades they are extremely cheap (I think i got a 5 or 10 pack of them for $2.00 or something) trust me...it is the easiest thing you can do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if I can find that sound byte I will earn some brownie points :-P Those are ALWAYS a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aynjell Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Wow, it's like, 70's music... but with BASS! O.O Good tutorials, Angry. I remember I76, by the way... got a demo with Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries, if I recall... which I played like... everyday on my first real gaming PC (I was a kid so calm down here: It was a gateway Pentium II).
