It should be fine as long as the green area around the edge of the chip wasnt damaged.

Snedman, only the 2.60's have the heat spreader, if I remember right. If it actually has a scratch on the core, like you said in your post, then it may very well affect the chip... BTW, it obviously isn't a good OCing chip, or it wouldn't be for sell!

Huh? You're not remembering right.
Every desktop P4 CPU has an IHS, including the 2.66. The only P4's that don't have an IHS are the mobile versions.

This link shows P4's with and without the IHS.
Okay, brainiac, tell me why I see a P4 core (not an IHS) halfway down the page? Are you telling me that my eyesight is so good, that I can see a core through an IHS?? Get a life, nimwit.Originally posted by: myocardia

No, the only pictures of P4's in that link show it with the IHS and one shows the underside of the chip.

Ralf, you have my apologies! When I went searching Intel's website for heat spreaders, by the time that I finally found what (I thought) I was looking for, I had about 5 or 6 pages open. I found two pictures, one processor with an IHS, onw without. I'm still not sure that both were P4's, because it didn't say "Here's a P4 with an IHS, and here's one without". It just said here's one with the heat spreader, and the proc. beside it might have been anything. I assumed that both were P4's, but while switching back and forth between the pages, I obviously copied the wrong page's web address, and put it in as a link. Then, instead of "revisiting" the page, through the link, I just presumed that you weren't looking very hard, because you didn't want to find it. Since I've been away from Intel for years, I should have just kept my hand away from the reply button! I'll try to keep that in mind from now on.Originally posted by: Jeff7181

Sorry... there's no P4's with exposed cores on that webpage.
