is it good to remove IHS from the AMD64 CPU to archive a good overclockable speed????

thanks

to gain 10-100Mhz and risk a high possibillity of a dead proc? I'd doubt it

when factory warranty ady finnish, then i think up to u leh..

if u hv good cooling ...

just asking dont dare to do it too risky...

wut is IHS??? lolx...

Integrated Heat Spreader

u mean the cap that covering the real cpu core inside? walao! can remove wan meh?

Dont know about AMD but with the Intel Prescott the die is damaged once you remove the IHS.
And don't forget the IHS also serves to protect the die from outside forces/pressure/cracking.

As long the heatsink does not apply alot of pressure then i think should be okay.
ihs has 2 function, to spread heat, to protect the core.

if the heatsink apply too much pressure, say bye bye to your cracked core

wah ......so risky wan....better not to try it...

if u daman rich... y not??

If you bothered to read at XS, there's been too many cases of very little improvments and too often dead procs by removing the IHS not to be seriously considered. It's only considered if you're on a "silver bullet"/"one shot" overclocking run which you know will kill the proc

I removed my Sempron 2500+ IHS since its so damn cheap,using a razor blade and a hammer,the PCB is stratch a little but the CPU survive. But since I use stock HSF,I used back the IHS but with new thermal paste,temp drop between 2-5 celsius. But no increase in overclock at all (probably limited by my RAM or PSU)

not all intel are like that though

intel die will damage if u dono how to remove the IHS.
so many success story but then for the improvment they bring, i rather just leave it on.
i dont mind having 5-6 degree's higher than risking my processor.
a slight nudge, or even when applying pressure to remove the heatsink, u can break the core

yeah..better sit back with the factory settings or just buy good heatsinks..

If you want to try it and willing to throw away your chip if its dead during the proces,why not?
