Deliding a core 2 duo 4400

[Flyguygamer]

I have an old socket 775 core 2 duo 4400 and want to try deliding it to get the technique. Is this cpu soldered or glued? Is this a good chip to practice on?

I'm 90% sure the cpu is soldered.

I don't think it is soldered.

I guess the early ones weren't that's weird that they changed it.

Thanks for the help. Would you use the vice/hammer or razer blade?

So it is good to go?

Razer blade should work the best

The later ones were soldered but not that one.

Blade and watch those pinkies.

I delided a core 2 quad last week and it dropped my temps by 15*c, just use a razor, heat and a little but of force.

Why blade over vice?

Why blade over vice?

 

Better suited for the job and easier. Just my 2 cents

Putting the CPU in a vice and hitting it with a lump of wood and hammer just seems brutal to me.

 

A blade gives a finer control but you have to take it slow. One slip and bye bye CPU.

I just finished the delid. Used the hammer and vice and it was fast and easy. Thanks for all the help.

Glad you didn't break anything.

 

Hope it works.

 

Please post temperature differences.

It was a dead chip. That is why I wasn't afraid to try on it. I have a working chip at home. I will try on that one and let you know.

I know this post is old but figured i'd share my 2 cents. I just delidded an Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 and it's not soldere d. It has a really plastic feeling thermal adhesive. I dont think its dried up paste but actual thermal adhesive or glue. I used a regular razor blade and about 5 min and it came right open!
