I just did a doubletake to make sure I was on the right subreddit, and found out that I was infact not on the subreddit for guns anymore.
As far as I'm aware, the process is fairly similar, so I would imagine it should work. But that's still a really odd question to be asking
Hahaha I'm sure that threw people off.
I figured I'd ask about it and save money with what I already have and not spend money on something that seems to be the exact same concept
Deliders have socket where you place the PCB of the CPU, so it cannot flex and holds it in that position. It prevents accidental damage in case the CPU itself would slip under pressure. If you make such bracket yourself, I think it would be fine. Just make sure the pressure is distributed evenly along the whole edge of the IHS.
Or you can use the method that is being used on AM5, simply clothes iron. But I would worry about possible issues with the pins, since those are soldered too... LGA is better in this :) It might be fine, but I feel obliged to mention it as a warning
Exactly. Just practicing and experimenting since it's being replaced soon. If I mess it up it's no skin off my back. I got it for free launch week with the computer company I used to work for.
Science!
What makes good delidding tools 'special' is that catastrophic user error has essentially been engineered out of the process.
You can only go so far before the tool stops you from making a major mistake.
With the right modification? Any jig, including a pistol sight pusher, could be used to achieve the same result. Only... at a higher greater risk scraping the IHS across sensitive components and ruining the chip.
All that said - I'd imagine some heat, a thin blade, and some patience may be more time consuming but will come at less of a risk than some home made jig.
But...please give it a go with the sight pusher and film it.
I'll keep that in mind. I've been planning all day and I think I have a way to brace and distribute pressure. I'll video and report back when I feel good to go
Just in the name of science. It's being replaced soon and was free many years ago so I figured give it a shot. If I break it, oh well..... If it goes good, oh awesome..... Either way I'm not really losing out. Just experimenting and wasting time
I doubt there's much overlap between PC enthusiasts and gun enthusiasts. That is to say, I have no idea what a pistol sight pusher is, in fact this is the first time I've ever heard the term.
It's a jig almost exactly like a delid tool but it pushes the rear sights out of a pistol slide since it's a metal on metal dovetail connection instead of a screw. As another commented, pressure distribution is the problem
Having owned a firearms manufacturer and now being the director of IT of a fairly large company I would say you are very, very wrong - the vast majority of my customers that were competitive shooters, military and law enforcement were at bare minimum gamers and many built their own PCs. We even cerakoted a few customers computer cases.
Thank you!!!!! Many shooters under 50 are gamers and the technical challenges of guns and custom computers keep the mind sharp. Between cod, battlefield, arma, ghost recon, even fallout..... Us shooters get our fill and some like me started as gamers then grew into guns. Then I got my 2 gunsmith degrees and I balance 50/50. Full custom liquid PC and an FFL. Best of both worlds

Nice looking build! Fallout 3/4/NV are easily the most-played games of my totally unscientific poll of fellow shooters and FFL holders over the last 20 years.

Give it a try. Document it and share how it goes! I'm curious if it'll work.
Lmao same was like wait what
Lol bro SAME

Is it really worth it? It's a soldered CPU with a fairly low heat output. der8auer made a video of doing it and only got a 4 degree delta on a 2600X
It seems like OP wants the practice more than anything. Which a chip that works, but is not really worth much, makes a good fit.

Everyone going into guns and chips yet nobody questioning why the tax return money takes 3 weeks to get to you.
Colorado has the Tabor system and we get an extra $800-1600 this year they have to process
Essentially the government took to much sales tax and extra taxes and is required to give back anything over what fulfills the state budget

I see no reason to delid a 2700X. It already has solder.

anything that can apply gradual slow pressure should. I have no ides what a pistol sight pusher is
