Halo Guys..... I would like to ask Some advices for me to do this thing....

one of the forumers has ever said to me that removing ISF is going to be better in overclocking my opty 144...

but i really do not know what exactly ISF is....how it looks like and how to remove IT as well....

I tried to google for searching some info...but then I didnt find any of information...

so can U guys help me out in searching the link and tell me how good it is If ISF was removed on that....thanks..really appreciate ur feedback..

dont la. it will make ur chip dang fragile
oso warranty VOID

That is because you got the word wrong. It is IHS and not ISF.

u can remove it with either blades, or the tooth-thread(or whatever u call it)
removing the IHS does not guarantee better overclocking, or resulting lower temp
and its prone to core got chipped/crack, and some HSF might not sit/touch properly with the core

unless u wanna gain the extreeme feeling

I try to make my Sempron naked by using a brute force, I use razor blade with hammer, I knock it down hard but carefully on all four side (start with the corner) and I remove it. the CPU PCB is a little stratched but its fine. I dont run it naked though because I use stock cooler and I cant run naked with stock cooler (the heatsink wont touch the core

It's not worth the risk plus,there is no guarantee you'll get any benefits by removing IHS.

i remove my A64 ade...it give me 3-4c drop free....nice man.

i thought if you remove the IHS, the core surface is actually lower. any problem with the heatsink not making proper contact?

yeah.it lower....nth happen t-force with the venice now.full load with prime and sp2004 just 42c.b4 remove is around 45-47c.nice man

Won't do that in 3 years time...Still under warranty worr...

But then it wont fun enough to overclock since it is not hardcore to leave out this trick... hmmmm -sigh-

erm...i do it cos Venice 3000+ drop price so low ade.just remove free drop around 5c.why nop.......
