Well......it was about 12:30am and I decided to remove my IHS.
Wound up taking apart a cheap single bladed bic razor and used that. The blade is VERY thin and really flimsy but as a result it cut through the silicon like BUTTA......however....it also cut through my fingers just as easily lol, and that's just the part that's NOT sharp, it's just cause it's so freakin thin.
ANYWHO, I'm booted up right now with that sucker NEKKID under the hood Full load went down by about 10C which is good. It reads the same idle though, however I'm pretty sure my thermal probe is whacked. It reads approx 38C at idle and at full load it would read 54-56C (before removal) and now it reads 44-46C.
I haven't begun to try and see if it'll OC higher, but I suppose at the very least I feel better about my current OC running cooler.
And naturally......pics
Think this may be one of the first successful IHS removals around here. I know 003 tried it but it ended up in tragedy. I haven't browsed through these forums in quite a while so if people have already done it around here, I simply never noticed.
