is your IHS still on?

[OldGuy]

It's really not difficult to do at all...yes you can screw up. I've done half a dozen or so and the worst I've done is slightly bend a few pins that were easily straightened. Using an XP-90 on my 150 has netted me a tiny chip at one corner though it doesn't seem to have hindered it in any way...

Yes, I am clocked to 2.7 and that is no doubt very close to the limit for my 4800+. I beat the FX-60 and that was my goal.

The IHS on my current one is on.I had another processor thatw as removed.I won't remove it again since I could barely sell it after.I rather pay good money on a better cooler than remove IHS.

I dont have the skill nor the balls to try, if I have a few low end chips to practice on. I would not try it on the chips I have for the first try.

You aint the only one. Mine's still on.

If I get a bolt down or water cooling then the lid will come off. But with a XP-120 I'd rather keep the IHS on then crush my cpu.

yea I don't see a point in no IHS without watercooling,phase or tec/wc.

Not yet as you can see by my post count I need a little more time before I am ready to flip the lid off and go with a water cooled rig

Not yet as you can see by my post count I am a little green in the OC world but getting there thanks to this site and others.

Nope, not skilled enough.
