Yeah, I thought it took a bit longer though? I've seen quite few lapped cpus with mirror finishes and never come across this or heard anyone mention it.

Today I came across something kind of strange. I had a lapped 5000+ AM2 CPU running in my system. It was lapped about 3 weeks ago. OC's well/great temps, I previously had put it up for sale and took it out of the system to take some pics. Everything is well so far.. The CPU was lapped to 1500...

It's currently running in the system. I'll post/pm you a pic in a bit.

Well I was looking for a coolermaster cm690 or a similar case and windows vista premium+additional price I guess.

Edit: Sold I have a AM2 5000+ Black edition lapped cpu for sale. Comes in box. Does 3.0ghz stock voltage and 3.1ghz @ 1.4v @ 38-39c idle and 55c load (orthos). Heatspreader developed some brownish marks due to copper oxidation. As pictured. Temps/cpu runs great. Looking to sell for $55...

The salesman has absolutely no idea what he's talking about...I've been through a couple LCD HDTV's. There was absolutely no burn in and way better blacks/color reproduction than TN panels if you get a good model. rls669 summed it up nicely.

Deal made and purchased! thanks

There are various reviews of this heatsink that are popping a lot of sites. It's seems to be quite new but I haven't seen a bad review yet. Most reviewers have it neck and neck with the 120 extreme as far as numbers go, seems to beat everything else but the dang thing isn't in stock anywhere...

Thanks for the replies. Anyways after doing some reading yesterday I've actually decided to go for it and do it myself when I get some free time. I'm not sure if I have to go up to 2500 grit for the cpu but I've found some guides online so I'll use that. Waste what guide in particular did you use?

Why are their quads so slow?? Doesn't help that the Phenoms aren't great overclockers. I'm just wondering. Intels quads are highly overclockable. Theres no comparison as far as the quads goe. Don't get me wrong I have a AM2 5000+ thats high overclocked but when I have enough money to upgrade/put...

I was wondering if there is any enthusiast site/component store or even an experienced individual that offers a CPU lapping service. The heatspreader on my CPU seems to be uneven and is not making proper contact any of my heatsinks. This in turn is causing me abnormal temps. I have no experience...

Oh ok, I guess thats fine though. I mean with teenage boys whats the worse you can see in their texts apart from messages to and from girls. Back at that age I wouldn't have any problem with my parents reading that.lol When it comes to having a daughter though thats a whole different issue...

Just wondering how old your kids are? I mean they aren't boys over 16 right? lol..

I think it's ok till a certain age. I mean after 16 if you have a son and your still looking at his every text and monitoring all his internet usage it's kind of silly. Some boys are babied too much. With teenage girls it's a different thing so I mean monitoring text till even 18 seems fine.

I've had 2 great experiences purchasing video cards off ebay. The first card was a 7900GT about 2 years back and the second card was a sealed 9800GTX before the 4850's/4870's were benched.. It was still very cheap. Fast/free shipping and I was easily able to register the cards for warranty. If...
