The right way to delid PS3 CPU (IHS Removal) for My Mate Vince

The tools i used
www.amazon.com...

[@Mymatevince]

Lovely job, you make it look so easy. Thanks for posting this video :-) I will order up the painters tools👍

[@Papalex606]

Your English is great and your instructions were perfect. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, very kind of you.

[@zakariahassen9236]

Thank you very encouraging :D

[@Winsii]

It's kind of crazy how short yet good this is. It gets right to the point, yet it has so few views compared to deciding instructions that I don't think are as good as this.

[@drcarrot415]

Wow, I’ve seen quite a few delid videos and this is the first that didn’t scare me away from wanting to do it. Thanks for this great video!

[@JohnJeiJei]

Dude, that was so smooth and simple! 😦 Great job! Various painter knives sets number their tools differently, so your no.4 may not be the same as the no.4 in a different set. But, since you've shown the tool in the video, it's a moot point.I'd also wrap a bit of shrink tubing around the bend of the second tool, in order to protect smaller components and the board from getting scratched.

[@zakariahassen9236]

I hope that all the tool sets have the exact same tool as mine (dimensions and thickness )

[@theparkourhobo]

This is a phenomenal tutorial. Short and to the point, while still showing the whole process from beginning to end. Thank you for sharing it! If I had found this a couple years ago when I attempted a delid, it probably would have gone a lot better :P

[@zakariahassen9236]

Thank you very mush i hope i helps in future attempts

[@Quasisaur]

You've done it like a surgeon.Carefully but precise. Good job and thank you for taking time to film and upload

[@Quasisaur]

Especially liked how you used second tool to not damage any other elements. Reminded me of my dentist 😄

[@HeavyBreathingGamerXD]

I used this exact video to delid my system correctly thank you so much A tip for everyone else. Heat up the IHS for 30second to a minute at 200°C Take your time ! It would glide like butter

[@elmerandrewcrowley2822]

really don't know if you want to be doing that. heating up the heat spreader will heat up the CPU underneath causing it undue stress when they aren't very good with heat already.

[@HeavyBreathingGamerXD]

@@elmerandrewcrowley2822 don’t think 30 seconds will do much tbh Always be careful tho

[@elmerandrewcrowley2822]

@@HeavyBreathingGamerXD how long isn't relevant, the thing that damages these CPUs is the repeated change in temperature, not the level of the temperature. over time they get stress fractures from it. yes I know it is only one time but the whole point of delidding is to prolong the life of the CPU, which you arent doing if you're causing more stress fractures.

[@HeavyBreathingGamerXD]

@@elmerandrewcrowley2822 you are correct but delidding with out a little heat can cause cracks in the solder as well. The whole thing is dangerous and a risk. Either way you can mess up. I’ve done plenty of successful delids with a little heat. With out a little heat that glue is super hard to cut and using more pressure would crack the solder or a slip of the hand will scratch the chip. Again this whole process is a risk just use caution

[@dinaabimbola4547]

Please what is the name of the tools. Thanks

[@radius.indrawan]

thank you for sharing this, Zakaria. i just read your comments from Vince' video and followed this link you gave. you got a new subs. ;)

[@zakariahassen9236]

Thank you so mush

[@loktaiextatus]

Thats the way, I felt terrible and cringed when Vince was having a bad time, it wasnt his fault but I still knew it was done when he was jamming it in like that

[@cfreddykrueger]

Absolute perfection

[@BigOHavingFun]

Masterfully done sir!!!! 👍🏻🙏 And you English is beautiful!!!!

[@blurigard447]

Thanks for the great instructions. You explain it well.

[@monkehgamingofficial]

The #4 you have there looks like the #2 from that Amazon Link

[@zakariahassen9236]

yes i bought the tools from a local repair shop and i tried to give you the exact same tool kit that's the closest one to mine

[@ComputerTechnic217]

did using it work?

[@WaynesWorld69]

Fantastic video! Thanks for posting this!

[@IgnacioBustos587]

Amazing video man. Thanks to you I did it on my first try! The oil spatula is really what does the trick

[@mark12358]

Great job you did! Thanks!

[@애니프사]

SUPER.

[@MGOFor3ver]

2:18 I wouldn't be so "calm" in that part. I saw people that damaged the CELL by making so much pressure upwards, the silicone glue literally deattached the PCB, but with a part of the PCB it self.. The best option would be to avoid those capacitors by any means. You can start then in the opposite corner.

[@zakariahassen9236]

MGOFor3ver starting from the opposite corner will increase the chance of scratching the CPU the best way is not to remove the toll once you start deliding

[@ballinn0430]

Wow, you did that very well and slow! Did you happen to use a heat gun with this? And if so, what temperature and for how long and how far?

[@xxbreakxxgaming184]

[@ArikIkirA]

Great vid

[@ComputerTechnic217]

Heat the CPU for 2 minutes on max setting of hair dryer and then do this it makes it much easier!!

[@mark12358]

Absolutely WRONG! You will damage the flip chip mounting solder below the die, and/or the insulation. WRONG, don't do it, never.

[@ComputerTechnic217]

@@mark12358 Not true. Idk where you are but here the max setting of a hair dryer is no where near (hundreds of degrees) less than the melting point of lead-free solder. The insulation doesn't get damaged unless you use significantly higher temps too

[@jigzyonline]

Very nice. Great video.

[@HeavyBreathingGamerXD]

Did you use any heat on the IHS ?

I have a CECH 2011A but the CPU has paste thas is hard as rock. I cannot do as easy like you.

[@KolyaNadj]

What kind of glue are you using when putting back the IHS? Edit: I found your reply it in comments below, someone asked already. Nicely explained btw.

[@XXSefa]

method id good but not so easy and don't recommend doing it very high risk of cutting chips , instead use very thin plastic fishing line that way you can cut through the sticky layer easily with out any harm on chip

[@instxnt-_-kxrm3497]

There is no better Option, thats the best for noobs! You cant take a razer blade or whatever for noobs!

without heat? what is yor room temp. 60 degree c ? yes i see ;) here in Germany i have round 15 degree in the Workshop;) and your english is far better than mine ! :) greetings:)

From the link you posted number 4 is a long narrow tip different then your number four. Number 2 in the link looks more like yours

[@khalidmuhammad1991]

after that, can you show how to put it back again? a lot of videos on the internet of how to delid it, but no one puts it back!!

[@SterkeYerke5555]

That's a CECH-2000 series PS3 slim, right? The one which still has the 65nm gpu? Do you know if the IHS is already sort of glued on on the RSX of these? I'll probably have to delid both the cpu and gpu on mine because the fan is ramping up really hard, but I'm sort of wary because I already killed two PS3 fats when trying to delid in the past...

[@Kenneth-bm5zr]

my tool wont cut into the glue, what i do?

[@lockedine]

Where did you get that little black prying tool?

[@hristiqndimitrov5249]

Great video

[@HardWhereHero]

once you repaste under IHS do you add it back or can you run it with the dye touching the heatsync directly?

[@s2knightryder]

I’m doing this right now with the same painters knife.. but the adhesive won’t budge and I’m applying a lot of pressure… adhesive is rock hard.. any advice?

[@slasher4050]

that clear stuff near the chip, does that need to be cleaned or is that not paste?

[@khalidmuhammad1991]

When you put it back, do you add a new silicone or just put it on the old silicone?

[@zakariahassen9236]

Just scratch the old silicone with your finger nail softly and keep it without it

[@hermit3400]

Great work! How is the lid put back once you put new thermal paste on? Do you put new adhesive or is the existing reused? Thanks!

[@zakariahassen9236]

I scratch the old one and leave it without adhesive no need

Hi. How do you glue the ihs back after reapplying thermal paste?

from what i hear, u dont. Its held in place when u screw back in the heat sink clamps and i hear its just overall better to not reglue when u need to reapply thermal paste again in the far future

Mine won't budge. Using the same tool and even tried heating the glue a bit. Can't cut it at all.
