Manage to fix the 24pin? Hope the diagram help

Yes, fixed. Just gotta plug it up and test. thanks man.

Vice method is clamp and ketuk with hammer?

Yeah, you clamp down the IHS, then place a block of wood (or in my case I used an old hard drive) against the chip then whack the block of wood. You can actually google it up. Plenty of videos online. haha.

Took me awhile to do it though, probably coz I was using a 2.5" hard drive and not a 3.5" one or a block of wood.

Tips to anyone who wants to even try:

Watch plenty of videos and read up before doing it. That way when you actually do it, you won't be as nervous (I wasn't nervous at all whacking my CPU. Thinking back, it was quite crazy and nerve wrecking)

When you do it, get a friend to help. You actually just need their hands to make sure your chip doesn't fly and die.

Watched some video about it. But didnt think about flying cpu before this, lol. Good advice bro.

Haha. No problem man.

Mine nearly fell to it's death, but my brother was there to help me so it didn't fall off the vice.

I've read of some people sending their chips flying. That was either coz they were drunk (I have no idea why anyone would mod while drunk. ) or they whack too hard.

hmmm... u even improvised, using a hdd instead of wood

yeah. No blocks of wood lying around, but I have a box full of dead hard drives. Hahaha.

If you're gonna use hard drive, a 3.5" hard drive would be safer to use than a 2.5" one coz of the weight and height of the drive when lying flat. Plus, you get more flat surface height on the sides than a 2.5".

Teaser! My normal image host is down, so just this for now.

My image host is back up! so More photos!

Hands got itchy to get my motherboard and stuff ready to go into my case(which still isn't complete. )

Patriot "limited" edition RAM all blocked up and ready to goooo:



My motherboard got a clean up, dust free and capacitor label free.



Even Got rid of the PCH heatsink. It's so shiny!



Eh, what's that in the reflection?

EK RAM blocks! The only EK thing in my entire loop. HAHA.



Also in the picture is my motherboard block, probably the only one in the whole of Malaysia.

The PCH can't be left out, so it gets a Heatkiller waterblock!



I haven't got to installing my CPU yet. Checking out a few things before putting it in.

u should use EK's mount for delided ivy cpu + its cpu block

I don't have much faith in mounting without the lid. Too many down sides.

aiyooo... i year kenot done this projek ka?? u make rig terbang ka bro??? 14 page and 241 reply. this kopitiam tread or worklog???

Haha. Sorry la bro. items all bought at various times and funding irregular so yeah..

slow but PRECISE & PERFECT and Not all people have huge funds for PC project!

same boat with you. Lack of funds is the major reason why my build went so slow...

Very true
