Looks like 1/2" ID, so that would make OD 5/8". In theory.Quote:

But that is quite a interesting and decent result on removing it. I wonder if one can remove the IHS, file down the edges, glue it back on with some AS5 on the core. Then reset it back and off you go :)
Id take mine off, perhaps i will when my phase change gets here. But i think i will have to wait untill i have a few hundred dolars ready to spend, in case something goes wrong.
Yeah probably AS5 and making sure it comes in good contact with the IHS is all you need to get 90% of the benefits of removing it completely.Quote:

I've never seemed to have a problem. Athlon 64 3500+ 1.67V @ 2.6Ghz on water = (depends on room temp, but if room is at like ~22C) 33-35C Idle, 38-40C Full Load....
Granted, I have my block on there....TIGHT, and there is some AS5 between the block and the IHS....
Hmmm, wow 1.67v.. I guess I should be happy with 2.7Ghz @ 1.40v or so :)
But I dont know if I want to remove my IHS... Maybe after I drop my crappy A64 I might do that unless I just toss it in the trash :)
Its a NEWCASTLE....hehe
Actually I am VERY surprised it even works this far. I've seen most Newcastles top out around 2.3-2.4Ghz....
I got LUCKY....
I got the 3500+ just when it came out on Newegg and there was a sale.....for 352$....
Its ok though. 1.67V for a .13 chip really isn't bad at all....considering I got a Barton running on water @ 1.93V :D
I don't know about that... mine is Newcastle core as well (3000+) but if I use 133 or 100 memory divider, I could go 2.6 GHz no problem. But the sucky mem. bandwidth wasn't worth it. I currently run 2.45 GHz no problem. Andy my Vcore is 1.55V. Yours has to be burning hot!! :oQuote:

Well, you are running cooler than I am! :)
My idle is 49C, and load temp upto 58C or so... I suspect it's the MBM 5 reporting incorrectly... either that or IHS is crappy (like many are stating)... oh well. It works.
Well, he's also using a w/cing setup, so that could account for something. ;)
So these HSFs really do lower the temps a lot. I'm currently at around 50-60 C while working, and it's not OCed. These stock fans seem like real crap. I gotta look around for something better.
Yes indeed. Think about it, huge hunks of copper compared to small aluminum ones. ;) Not to mention big fans. Yes, lots of big fans.:D
