i already did a "proper" bare die instal . first the compression of the socket ILM was measured : before closing the socket : after its even deeper then the datasheet . alignment pins cut : socket ILM modified , 0.4mm shim on top of the cpu , so the pcb wont...

hey IDC , thanks for replying . i think you are still missing a few things . cpu pcb flush with the socket corners - this is correct , intel datasheet provides very accurate information , so no surprise here . i dont see why you are surprised by that . if you check the datasheet image i...

cpu size is a bit more then 40mm square , with alignment pins at the edges of it . any modern waterblock cool plate is more then 50mm square (mine is 60mm) . the latching lid is higher then those pins , but it gets removed anyway , when mounting the cpu without the IHS .

hello guys , new member here :D i was planning to mount my cpu without the IHS and came to this thread . IDC , i found a few problems with your mounting , let me explain : your measurements indicate that the cpu pcb thickness is around 1mm here : later you posted that pcb + die...
