Lapped core 2 duo IHS pics

<---
Just 500. It's Pentium4 540J, the temperatures now are 7C down at full load.

Slick you guys

**Scyth3** · 02-01-2007, 10:08 AM

Makes me want to lap my e6300.

**Rickster_64** · 02-01-2007, 10:21 AM

Me too, I think I will take a handful of cpu shots and get out the glass and sandpaper ;-)

Hard to resist, huh?

**phelan1777** · 02-01-2007, 11:44 AM

I can't lap mine cause I DON'T HAVE AN IHS!

**G.Foyle** · 02-01-2007, 11:59 AM

I'd lap mine too, but I'm still concerned about losing warranty. Do I need it at all? Cuz if I lost my CPU I won't have the money to buy another E6600, i'd have to buy some cheap one.

if your CPU works im sure your fine, just dont lap using water, dry sand only to reduce the risk of damage

This is awesome guys. Is there a poll around indicating average temp drops for lapped processors?

**Kumakichi** · 02-01-2007, 01:07 PM

You people make me sick!

**911us** · 02-01-2007, 01:09 PM

i think it all depends on the curve of the IHS prior to the lapping, best way to tell how bad it is, take a straight razor blade and place it across the IHS and see if you can see the space inbetween.

**crazyea** · 02-01-2007, 03:24 PM

Ok, I'll try that over the weekend.

**__Miguel_** · 02-01-2007, 04:27 PM

Wow, those are some impressive results (both temp-wise and mirror-finish-wise).

It gets me wondering, though... My E6400 currently idles @ 27-28/23-24º C (not used to imperial metric system, sorry; plus, I'm referring to each core in separate), with virtually NO airflow, only two 12cm Noiseblocker fans @ 750rpm (same overall results if only the 12cm PSU-fan is used). If I were to smooth the IHS, then it would idle @ room temperature

?

Also, I'd like to know one thing, if you don't mind. With that kind of surface contact area, is thermal paste even necessary anymore?

Btw, someone asked about voiding your warranty. Lapping DOES void it, doesn't it?

Cheers.

Miguel

P.S.: I'd like to have a cheap used CPU for lapping. It would be fun, for sure. However, both CPUs I have are very new (oldest one is less than 6 months old...) and not that cheap (805 and E6300, the 805 is the oldest).

**Skrips** · 02-01-2007, 04:36 PM

Anyone wanna lap my new X6800? I WANT A MIRROR FINISH TOO!

It's not hard at all. You dont even have to worry about bent pins

My first ever lapping gave a beautiful mirror finish.

Sheesh, at $1000 a pop for those chips, I would be scared as all hell to try that... X6800's don't grow on trees, but wouldn't it be cool if they did? :thumbsup:

Lol, but lapping ain't going to kill your Conroe, unless you decide to pour water on it or smash it with a hammer

**Spawne32** · 02-01-2007, 05:06 PM

yes lapping does void your warranty as far as i know

**Skrips** · 02-01-2007, 05:09 PM

Hmm, well, maybe I will look into in, seeing as I have not actually assembled my rig yet. The last of the past should be coming from New Egg tomorrow, if they hurry up and process my order

Any forum links for a good guide to laping my CPU? I don't think I would hit it with a hammer, but I also don't want to screw it up!

Good times!

**rick_fx** · 02-01-2007, 05:25 PM

Here is a good guide:

I echo that question... The purpose of thermal paste is to fill the tiny gaps in an imperfect surface... With a finish like that, does paste help or hinder?
