This doesn't look like bridging traces like we used to, this looks like strips of flexi pcb, with no traces... you paying 15$ for a piece of electrical tape. All you have to do is block the correct 11 (by my count) pads and your good to go. I would guess that nail polish would be more permanent...

You guys do realize you bumped a thread for 6 years ago...

You won't be able to get zip ties tight enough to be usefull. If you don't mess with it the chances of it poping off are slim to none, what you need are worm clamps. However if you put a worm clamp on there while it will permanently fix the issue it will certainly void your warranty.

I know you got it working again, but I cant help but feel like you might want to expect a PSU failur in your future. Watch your voltages.

If there's a weak link, its the psu. Not saying its not enough power, 600w is about right, but I would go with a corsair hx650. Its a good trusted PSU. Every thing else looks like it would be well balanced. I assume you are going to put a large HDD in for storage and only keep the stuff you use...

Or drop said screw driver and bust off some SMD component... done that before.

I've been around for a long, long year ;)

The only reason I compare it to phase change would be on the order of time spent vs return on investment. I hadn't considered surface area and weather it would even be possible to cool the chip quick enough. You might have to find a way to jet the water so that it is moving very quickly on the...

The issue is, if your going to bother going with the hassle of de-lidding and water cooling, and trying to fab a block, then getting the damn thing water tight, and only getting a degree or 2 at best with direct die vs de-lidded and a normal water block, then you might as well go phase change...

if they are i7 based macs, you might be able to W/C them as well, it might take modifying after market coolers... i have never tried this with a mac, but you might look into it in the mac forums...
