In case anyone is wondering what the inside of the dual core Opty's look like or where contemplating removing the IHS...

Note the scrape on the board...this what NOT to do.

SC in CPU thread :thumbsup:
Poor CPU i wish you good luck at geting another one.

 

[otispunkmeyer]

wheres the damage?

 

[VStrom]

See scrape on chipboard near corner on bottom left...that's my guess what killed it. The dark coloring around the transistors was present when I first opened it so I think that's the way it always was.

I've been warning people - Too much risk for too little reward.:thumbsdown:

 

[Maximilian]

Poor lil fellar, e just a boi.

 

[RichUK]

I'm not convinced. i've seen pics where people have scrapped away more when removing the IHS, and it has still booted worked and OCed just fine.

I'm with RichUK on this.

 

[MDE]

Try it anyway, it should still work.

 

[Griswold]

I dont know why, but somehow I think he wouldnt have posted that it's dead if he didnt try it already.

 

[VStrom]

I tried about 6 times...a few with the IHS back on. No luck.

 

[Zebo]

That core is huge though - AMD can't be making much off these.

Looks like 4 x the size of a venice CPU.

[Shimmishim]

[coldpower27]

Is this Denmark???

 

[cubeless]

they sure do use a lot of glue to hold the ihs on! they really don't want it falling off i guess...

Hmm Shimmishim could be onto something here, i'll offer you what ever Shimmishim offers plus a

 

[VStrom]

LOL...everyone wants to buy the damn thing. Maybe I should put it on EBAY.

 

[Shimmishim]

this is something i read that might help you bring it back to life.

put some electrical tape over the spots with the bare copper exposed.

that seemed to have helped someone bring a chip back to life.

 

[VStrom]

Can't hurt to try! Thanks bro.

 

[VStrom]

Nope. She's dead, Jim.
