My E6600 is idling at 43C (according to my P5B's BIOS) at stock--and I have a Scythe Infinity. Shouldn't it be more like 30C?
Anyways, when I take the HSF off the bottom is like 1/3 covered in paste, so the contact is pretty crappy. It's probably the IHS being concave and like many others I'll be lapping it with sand paper, but what's the best grade for flatness? Should I use water? I'll be going to Home Depot tonight to pick some up.
