The nail polish idea also seems like a bad idea to me, you're putting heatsink paste on it when you instal it, and as far as I know nail polish isn't a high heat substance. You gotta figure these things can get up to 200✯, but a lighter can put out a lot hotter than that. I wouldn't use the fireplace lighter method he uses either, because you're more likely to go well beyond the limits heat wise of what the CPU can handle. I don't agree that it's safer, using an iron is going to be the safest, besides people in labs with heat plates that stay at a certain temperature. While this method seems much more prone to CPU destruction than the razor blade method, it is actually a much safer method and much less prone to pitfalls.Do have a lovely rubber mallet, but don't have a vise and cheapest I can find is $70.00.
8 CORE MAC PRO 2009 UPGRADE
Pimp my Mac: MP 2009 Dual CPU upgrade experience OTOH This guy clarifies adding thermal pad etc in response to a question about avoiding CPU frying as described in that anandtech article:Īlso FWIW here's a couple more successful ones: This is certainly giving me some pause about installing un-delidded CPUs. Was glad to see it had a happy ending but a rather expensive one. HOLY COW that anandtech article is indeed a real horror story. Contacted him and he was up for meeting at a local coffee house to get the CPU's and then return them to me at the coffee house when done. Funny he lives in the next town over from me, about a 1/2 hr away. Seriously considering this after reading that anandtech article as well as some other failure stories.

Here is the original horror story:ĭon't forget to update EFI before using either method, or your new CPUs won't be recognized and your Mac won't boot. If you don't de-lid, you will need to use great care when fitting and tightening down the CPU heatsinks and add extra thermal padding to thicken the existing thermal pads.

He also offers the necessary 3mm hex wrench, thermal paste, and firmware update in order to install these CPU's for one-stop shopping. $130 for a pair seems like a reasonable deal to me. He has a sure-fire approach and has done a whole bunch of de-lidding jobs. You can also pay this guy at Ebay to do it for you: Michael Canavan, who successfully de-lidded his Xeons, talks about it in detail in the Xeon thread. I haven't done either Emu, but there are proponents of both approaches with success stories. To de-lid or not to de-lid, that is the question. If any of you have done this would love to hear how it worked out for you.
