Re: Swiftech Apoggee review by Robotech systemcooling
FWIW, Joe Camel's Venice looks EXACTLY like the old Northwood IHS > TIM bond... to a tee. That method is horrible, don't know why AMD continues, good for those who wish to remove it though. If you cut the outer epoxy, the IHS falls right off, tis the only thing holding it on at all. Imagine that, the outer rim of the IHS epoxied to the PCB of the CPU is the only damn thing holding it on. With this method and all my Northwoods, I saw WILD reported temps and some VERY high differences between with and without IHS in terms of reported temps, some as high as 10C!
