This was my test to see if I damaged my CPU or not. Remember, because this was new to me, I still at this point was not sure if my decision to DeLid verses wait for the Washers and Thermal Paste to arrive was the right one.Īfter DeLiding the first CPU, I installed it in CPU A slot on the tray, with no CPU in CPU B Slot. This way, if I did screw it up, I only had to buy one CPU to replace and not two.

Just as a precaution, I decided to just DeLid one CPU, then install it to confirm I didn't damage it prior to going head over heels by DeLiding both. It took me about 15 minutes per CPU to scrape off the old Solder and clean up the Silicone that is around the CPU.
As I was scraping it off with a Utility Knife Blade, visually it seemed like I was cutting into the Die that is on top of the CPU, but that's not what it was, it was the Solder that made it look that way. The Vice Only method was a piece of cake.įull discolor, right after Deliding the fist CPU, I was in a terrified moment for a while because, especially on the first CPU there was a ton of Solder that had to be removed. Then took it out, took it back 1/4 turn (Original Starting Location) applied pressure, a little at a time until I started to see the IHS slide on top of the CPU, then took it out of the Vice and slid it by hand the rest of the way off. Took the CPU/IHS out of the vice, turned it 1/4, then repeated the previous steps. I barely cut into each corner.I applied pressure in the vice, let it set for a minute, then applied a little more pressure, let it set for a minute. I took an exacto blade and cut into the corner sections of the IHS where they are Siliconed to the CPU. I personally took it one step further, but in hindsight, it was not necessary. Step 1 - Use the Vice Method (NO HAMMER). It is so insanely easy, its almost criminal that people who are packaging DeLided CPU's with the Thermal Past, Thumb Drive, and cleaner, then marking it up over 300.00 over buying the parts separately and DeLiding the CPU it yourself.

Well this is my first post, I joined the forum to talk about my upgrade of a 2009 8 Core MacPro to a 12 Core.įirst let me say this.I am confident that most people who say not to attempt to DeLid Soldered CPU's are simply regurgitating other peoples fears and likely have no first hand experience. PCIe SSD for scratch and data and graphic libraryĭepends on what apps as to what choice to make in processor and also AMD (dual for FCP-X) or GTX (Adobe) The SSD is the cheapest and best investment and overdue - 250GB $119 Samsung 840 EVO Whether you need 12 core or would do fine with 6-core or 2 x 4-core (aiming for highest clock 3.4GHz)
other than the two PCIe 4x slots that are different on yours.Įarly 2009 Single Processor to Dual Processorīeen done many times as can be seen from above - and that is where to take this up further.
