I have tried the freezer trick(30 min), but this damn heatsink seems stuck to this P100. I think they used mastic(tile cement) or something similar. what can I use to remove the sink, I want to add some active cooling, the HS gets really hot based on touch for what I am used to seeing a p100 run at...
i take it twisting doesnt help watsoever....thats how i took of passive heatsinks of a couple of p133, that were stuck on really tight.... on a duron 800 that wouldnt come of i let it run really hot using benchmarking programs with no fans on and when it had become nice and warm (could use soldering iron) i took it off.... just some thoughts....
I think IsaacSibson used some sort of freezing spray a while back, it might be worth asking him about it if the freezer trick doesn't work.
Yes, it's a variation on the freezer trick, but rather safer. What you need is a compressed air blower can (used for blasting dust out of things). Turn it upside down, and it squirts out the liquid instead. This liquid evaporates extremely fast, removing a great deal of heat (the liquid isn't necessarily cold...the liquid form is due to being compressed). The advantages of this method over the traditional freezer trick are that it limits the amount of stuff that gets cold, lessening risk to things like graphics cards, and further it is more effective, because it gives you a big heat differential through the glue, causing it to break.
Il try the air thing, and the sink already gets darn hot for a p100 so il try running a sandra burn in test on the proc and twisting it off. Thanks trash, thats a good suggestion, thats how I feel, but I want to keep the proc intact. so far it has cost me more for 16MB ram and two heatsinks than I paid for the puter... I ran some benchmarks, and you wouldnt believe the raw scores I got, a PR rating of 100, il post some pics of how a p 100 performs in sandra 2001, if I feel like it, and if people ask me.
go on then...post em and we can all feel good about ourselves and our processors, unless of course ure runin a 486... and tell us how you managed to get the darned thing of....
Sandra is a programme by Sisoft that tells you everythingabout your hardware and allows you to test and benchmark! You should be able to download it easily from various places on the web!
very accurate...one of the best benchmarking programs out there...used by most big hardware sites, ie tomshardware, hardocp etc...
