I have a lapped quad with a lapped TRUE and my temps have always been great. I have never seen them over 63C after hours of Prime. I took apart my system today to get ready for a new mobo and noticed a wierd blue edge on my cpu and it left teh same blue imprint on my cooler. It almost looks like heat but not sure how this could be. I use CoreTemp to check my temps along with my mobo software. Both show good temps. System has always been very stable. I was gonna re-lap them both before re-building. Anyone else run into this? I know the cooler isn't very flat. CrazyPC did the lapping and its not as flat as I would like. The CPU is fairly flat checking with a razor blade. I am wondering if its just some reaction and not heat related.
EDIT: Adding a pic although the dark areas are actually blue in color they seem to show up more dark in the photo.
