- In this video, we'll be delidding soldered Xeon CPU's for use in a Mac Pro 4.1
The delidded CPU's are actually the ones used to edit and render this video on.
I conceder the delidding method used in this video the safest one compared to others seen on CZcams.

I've done this with 2 Xeon 5680's and had no issues. This was by far the best video explaining how to do the de-lid
Use a heat gun and not a naked flame like a BBQ lighter which i have seen on some videos.
The trick to to listen for the "pop" its about 20-30 secs after applying heat for me but maybe later depending on your heat course. once i heard the "pop" i wait another 5 secs before pushing down on the razor blades. it's such a magical sight seeing the CPU split into two.
If I want to weld it, this would also be possible
Thanks a lot for your video, I'm successful delidding cpus by your instruction!
Thanks for the vid, this process worked nicely for both ebay x5670 ($15) and more than doubled my geekbench scores :-)
*PS: instead of a heat gun I used a butane torch, carefully
you all probably dont care but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Emmanuel Skyler instablaster =)
You have to control temperture on IHS during heating. It will be best if you can get IR termometer or even thermal. You also need to place black mark on IHS for accurte thermal measurements (less reflections). If temp go over Tj = CPU probably will be dead OR with degradation.
Very Nice tutorial Timo 👍
How much torque was needed on replacing the Heat Sink Bolts? Can you not over torque (tighten) the bolts when re assembling? You could really do some damage? Thanks
I smoked my processor by closely following this video! I applied heat for 60-70 seconds when nearly all the capacitors on the bottom became de-soldered and fell off! I did all the steps very carefully, except he has an unexplained cut in the video at 4:17 just before he says "I kept the heat on just a little bit longer." How much longer? Also, the angle of the camera doesn't show the spacing between the tip of the heat gun and the processor. If you try this, be prepared to smoke your processor!
For my 2nd processor, I used the successful vice technique which was faster and FAR SAFER for the processor, especially if you use the razor blade to split the seal of the RTV sealant that bonds the lid to the substrate. (This is not "silicone" as mentioned in the video.)
You don´t need a temperature regulated heat gun. Needs around 350°C and 1,5min. But I would not recommend the VICE Technique it will most probably damage the CPU because the solder which is connected to the DIE can break it as Silicon is very fragile. I would do it the opposite way. Take some wood with a hole in it and place the CPU with the "knifes" on the top of the hole (secure with some TESA) with the IHS pointing to the floor. Then you heat it up from below. The IHS will fell down and the CPU remains there and no SMD parts will fell of. Thats the most secure way.
Would It work for a 9980xe ?
Would it be possible to heat up the heatsink with a good soldering station and a broad tip? Haven't seen anyone doing it that way while to me it seems the most logical approach.
When starting up with only the cpu A on, did the fans blast at full speed or was their speed just normal?
I've heard claims that running with only one messes the SMC temperature readings?
I tried this method and failed. My failure was that I let the hot cpu fall onto some carpet on my bench and the hot cpu melted the carpet fibers on to the bottom of my CPU. Make sure it falls on a hard surface that will not melt like my case. I tried the vise method on the other one and it worked for me.
how are the temps?
Can i use a good blow dryer instead? Good video bro thanks
I'm using Flashed HD7950 for testing bruce X 5k,but result is 45 sec. that not very good at all,Does GPU not good enough?Which GPU were you using?
Great video. I made one very similar and used the same method. I too think this is much safer than the vise method since the vise has a greater chance of cracking the cpu die. I have done a total of 5 CPU's so far using this same method and all 5 went perfect.
Do you know if you can make a delid to a Xeon X5460? or is it soldier?
Why is everyone down here in the comments talking about "heat gun"? There was no use of a heat gun in this video.
There was fully a heat gun in this video lol - do you not know what one looks like?!
Love the Casey Neistat-vibe music :-)
Osea 3:39 puedo soldar el procesador al IHS sin ningun problema
Does all Mac Pro 4,1 have the same CPU Board ?
There are dual-CPU and single-CPU versions.
I do have a hot plate (diy) and found that it melts at 165 Celcius
That's some valuable information. Thanks for sharing. How did you build your hot plate?
@@CuriousTimo i can send you some images, i build it from a money box and some heating elements with a thermo controller and a big aluminum plate
Why delidding?
The Mac Pro 4.1 Dual CPU uses de-lidded processors. There is the option of using normal processors with washers but you run the risk of crushing the CPU sockets. De-lidding is is not needed on the 5.1.
Is it possible to use a hair dryer?
Not sure if it will get hot enough. Before I did this to my CPUs I considered using a clothes iron.
Would you tell us the air temperature exiting your heat gun?
@owo グーチmoshi Would a hairblowwer work?
onii-chan's manko I’ll try that. Thank you!
How about using a good soldering station with a broad tip? Why does nobody do that?
@@chaosme1ster Have you tried doing that?
@@oceanix1929 Nope, that's why I asked. I want to upgrade my CPU's, and consider going down the razor blade + soldering station route. Wondering why I never hear someone talk about the soldering iron possibility.
Meanwhile my dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 scores 5400 in Cinebench and the processors were 1k each on Ebay.
*Yawn*
