Question A8 6500 IHS

[Horiizon]

Hello everyone,

I have a little question. I have a dead A8-6500 next to me and I was thinking about trying my first de-lid.
So I was wondering, is the A8 soldered under the IHS or is it held on with Thermal Paste, since I can't find any information no matter how much I try.

Thanks in advance.

It is sure held my something, is it the thermal paste or just glue, we need smone or preferably few that had experiece with it. I've been looking at potencial delidding of my i7 for a while but since I can get to 5ghz fabric I wait untill I switch to next gen.
From what I gathered myself untill now I can tell ya you're better with some sort of delliding kit rather then doing it yourself.
