Project:
Let's start!
First you need to remove the plastic cap that covers the WB, unscrew two screws located under the plastic, exactly these:
Tubing removed!
Sleeve is always nice
My RES is damaged, so I have used some teflon tape.
The WB is very ugly and dirty, used and abused..so I have decided to lap its!
I have started with 500, 800 and then 1000.
Some pics!
Its my first work, not so bad, right? About 2h
The support for my RES!
All done finally
Perfomance? CPU is 10C colder!
A friend is using it, on 955BE without any problem
