mandrake Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 by the looks of the pics of the naked 3500, i'd say that specific shim probably wont work. the capacitors would get in the way of the one end of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 My rig was down for a bit this morning so decided to go for it too while i had it opened up. Also lapped my xp-90 down some more and cut a bit off the mounting bracket to make it sit lower. It was a bit harder then removing the shim from my 9800pro, but still easy if you take your time. Oh, and that IHS is a LOT thicker then I thought it would be! All together dropped my idle down 7c and load 11c. Niiiice. **edit** oh, and those shims are only for old school pre barton socket A chips. They are way too big for a64s. **edit** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uber Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 make a shim use neoprene maybe, and you could have it a tiney bit thincker than the core, so it would compress when you applied teh HSF? maybe ill try it out when ig et up teh Khjones to remoe my IHS.

wootas Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 From my own experience, these cores, while always said to be fragile, can put up against quite a bit of pressure as long as you're not being rediculous trying to put a heatsink on. I have an rbx on mine and the way the tubing is run was making the block tilt to one side and not sit flat on the core so I tighetened both sides down almost so that the springs are entirely compressed, the one side slightly more than the other to balance out the force of the tubes pulling to one side.

ApocFrenzy Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 yeah, I'd like to see how the dental floss works. Also, I want to do this with my Opteron 165. Does anyone have a picture of a naked 165 so I know how far to go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
