Would i be able to tell from the chips colour what it is, so i dont have to take the heat sink off? Or something like that? :unsure:
Dont worry peerzy boy, its as easy as. Just make sure you are careful unlocking the heatsink clip (use a screwdriver but watch it doesnt slip) and ground yourself on the case first in case you touch anything.
u forgot that he will need some thermal compound to replace the used thermal pad. you cant put the processor on with a used thermal pad or teh cpu temps will skyrocket.Quote:

The chip is brown/creamy i think, its hard to tell because of the massive heat sink.
here are some pictures that may help...

Sorry for the bad images, its the only thing i had <_< .
Can't see the chip from those shots. By definition it has to be covered by the heatsink. The only chance you've got of seeing the colour of the chip without removing the heatsink is from the side, and with a very bright lamp.

I did. ;)
But its probably not a good idea.
I have a giant lamp here but the gfx card is in the way. "moro im going to remove that, and i will have very clear view of the chip, will post more pictures then :)Quote:
