Hello friends

I need to delid a pair of Xeon X5680 CPUs and am looking for a delid kit.

I am assuming that the Rocket 99 delid kit (made for LGA 2066) will not work.

Is there any kit on the market that will?

Thanks in advance

LGA 1366 Delid tool $50
It seems like a hefty price for something so old and you should also read this thread.

Delidding 1366 CPUs [Soldered]

4-5 years ago I tried that and well... it didn't end well.

Thank you for your reply... I'm not opposed to paying $50 for the kit because I have multiple X5680 to delid (I want to sell them to mac pro users for double the price of the lidded chip)

But that kit is sold out, and Im guessing he will never make more since it's such an old socket
