K404 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think i'm ready to try my 990X now Disclaimer: I'm not that ham-fisted. I just wanted the IHS for a keyring. Chip is long dead. A T-rex killed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K404 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 LOL ....yea, I was thinking something similar. Ilya will turn it into a functioning hexcore chip using only some cardboard and paperclips. On his lunch break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masterchief79 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Same thing happened to me on a 8800GTX, but that was on purpose, i didnt know that it was possible to do this by accident. To remove the IHS of an old P4, I just used a hot air blower and a flat-iron which worked perfetly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARandomOWL Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I once made a keyring from an 8800GTS. Didn't use it for long cos it was too noisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K404 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) which cpu was that? It (was) an SL5VR Celeron 1.3. I'm pretty sure it was in a computer I found in a bin 4-5 years ago. Edited February 7, 2012 by K404 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
