June 8, 201213 yr Safer but void waranty too I did it on many Core2 chips IHS and it gave me satisfaction going to the red (copper) part of it
June 8, 201213 yr Author What if there was a heatsink base that was so abrasive that it lapped the outer portion of the chip but stopped just short of removing the print in the middle? My heatsink made a start on that, clearly. My warranty is still intact. Flat is flat. We don't really want to remove 1mm of IHS height unless we want the same mounting mechanism workaround as removing the IHS completely Do you see what I mean? Or, of course for the best possible improvmenet, lap the whole surface and balls to the warranty. ES guys especially Edited June 8, 201213 yr by K404
June 8, 201213 yr I see ofc, but I say I had to go deeper to be totally flat... and erase the print in the middle though -.- No issue for mountings. It ain't 1mm lol Check out: Yeah yeah it's a keychain ^^ But before I burned it, it worked perfectly and gained few degrees under air/water/SS @Splave: mwahaha! Oh! Really? ...and how could they know/prove
June 8, 201213 yr Author What if the IHS was noticeably thinner though? All ideas We need a bunch of guys to volunteer to lap their chips flat, then test, then grind down 1mm and lap, then test etc
June 8, 201213 yr My opinion don't do anything i have lost my good 3770 by removing IHS and with lapping i don't thing that you are going to gain anything. It's easier to find a good 3770
June 10, 201213 yr worth a shot eeky nox, warranty is void if you OC it techincally no, Intel offers OC protection full warranty, no questions asked unless you physically alter or damage the CPU. So even if your pads burn you are covered. It is $25 i think for a 3770K and you can buy it whenever, but only once. http://click.intel.com/tuningplan/ So I mean, i only see benefits if you want to do air/water, not much at all under LN2, unless you have like issues.
June 10, 201213 yr At least here in Germany it's easy to get a new CPU also without the OC-Insurance. If it's not physically damaged you can just return it to the online shop and get a new one.
