Shadow: Thanks for not flaming me, I had a feeling some people might get a bit upset about my remark.

However, I'm talking bout a modern pc, the q6600. There was one review site that showed no diff (forget which one, can google for it) and that makes sense for me. I agree the TRUE may not be 100% optimized for older chips in terms of modern chips, it should be for newer chips. Again for 2-3 C, it's not worth me spending 3+ hrs for very little gain and losing my warranty....


Even on the newer CPUs you can still expect about 7-10C drop. Seen this with a E6600. Again it depends on each CPU.

Hmm.... well let me OC my cpu to 3.6 and see how hot it gets this weekend. I'll think about the lapping issue after that. Some before/after screen's would be helpful! :)

^ Agreed, unfortunately I usually lap CPU/Heatsink any way even before OCing so I don't have any sceenshots. Make note that those 10C drops were due to lapping BOTH CPU AND Heatsink

 

Here is a pic of one of my lappped CPU:

Had anybody consider that temp. decrese is due to less space between heat source and spreader and so it could be important to lap as deep as possible and not only to match two surfices???

be difficult as gpu is not mounted in a socket so how could you take it out and do what is described.

the concavity probably comes from how they are stamped out of the sheet.

does removing the protective layer cause corosion problems.

I used to alwayes hear about removing the IHS from back in the s939 days.

does anyone still do this?

This thread inspired me to do the same with my E8400:

Started with 400 finished with 1000.

Temps are about the same... But it's way hotter today compared to when I did the pre temps. Also I am hoping once the thermalgrease is broken in it will be a bit lower. 36c before and 36c after.

Hey graysky, is your Q6600 GO stepping?
Does anybody thinkhs having a Scythe Infinity with 2 fans (1300 rpm push - pull) on a Q6600 GO @ 3.3GHZ getting 70ºC to be normal?

Hi,
This is my first post to the forum, great site people, keep up the great work and advice.

I want to comment on the Lapping subject.... The comment left by jimmm is correct (my opinion), when tightening down on the HS there is alway going to be a little flex, especially in the casing of the cpu due to the thiness in the casing of the cpu. Once tightened evenly the surface will flex (although you will not see it with the naked eye, it will flex) and will be very close if not almost perfect. Even after 1 month re tighten the screws again evenly and you will not need any lapping.

Take care all...and good luck.

Peace

rojito, as I've said on the thread you started, no those are not good temperatures for your setup. Something is awry. Please try cleaning and reapplying.
