I chipped a piece of as I was tapping the razor with a screwdriver handle. Wonder if it's damaged.

I really wish they had water blocks for this. Also the thermal pads are pretty damn good. Very impressed with gigabyte. They aren't made of woven crap whatever. They are actual malleable j pads like the Fujipoly. Not sure what they are made of. Almost a gel pad. Like a puddy.

Here's pictures.

Nice one

Hammer method > razer
much safer

I couldn't find a vice anywhere. Hammer + Razor = fast

I wonder if I can naked mount the die to my waterblock without it being off pressured.

Might, might be able to. I still have a working AMD 2800+ ....which came out before they ever started lidding CPU's. It's way more touchy to do it though.


/e Well Intel hadn't started lidding yet, but in the Pentium era, the Intel CPU's came in big black blocks of something. lol

I've got to paint these fittings. All this bitspower logo stuff everywhere has just got to go. Though I do love and highly recommend bitspower fittings. Expensive yet quality. It balances out imo.

Might get this.
I need a dual male though.
