1. Most suspected death reason.
2. Another possible death reason.
3. It was alive previously even with this damage present.
4. Same as no.3

I'm sorry opty

OMG....

well, look at the bright side, you get to upgrade much sooner than you think....

Awwww

Don't suppose you could RMA it

Btw... The PC Hardware Graveyard

This is actually the 2nd time that I removed the IHS. I sticked it back and for some reason it is overheating and unstable. So I had no choice but to remove the IHS again.

1. I dunno how it got that, appeared after I removed the IHS at the 2nd time and mounted a heatsink.
2. Most likely created when I pry open the IHS (This is the 2nd time) and twisted the PCB in the process. It's also possible that the mounting pressure from the heatsink caused that.
3. Zalman CNPS9700 did that when I first removed the IHS.
4. Did that during the 1st removal of the IHS.

I'm so damb

Of course not

Otherwise I think I would be happy right now

I won't be able to get any S939 proc in the next few months I guess.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Having a chip destroyed is no fun at all.

The temperature drop is really impressive though, after the removal of the heatspreader.

I wish AMD/Intel can just put a shim instead of a heatspreader

The reason why I didn't remove the heatspreader on mine was because of the insane amount of mounting pressure on the coolers will kill the processor.

Some waterblocks are much better, allows you to tighten it slowly.

Duh.....If I don't stick back the IHS maybe this won't happen. I was forced to remove the IHS again because it was overheating and it's unstable

It idles at 47-48c and instantly shoots over 65~70c when running CoH (using CNPS9700 LED, full speed). When the IHS was removed, it idles at 36-38c and load never exceeds 60c regardless of how much I stress it (using HR-01 with a low speed fan).

Funny thing is the contacts are all okay, then why the hell does it overheat?
