im planning on lapping my prescott to get temps lower then they are now, the water temp isnt heating up proportional to the cpu temp and the copper on the water block isnt heating up so i can only assume its inefficiencies in the heat transfer, i lapp heat sinks left and right any considerations before lapping a IHS? or am i all set if i lapp heat sinks/water blocks to mirror finish flatness
 
Lap that bitch. Trust me.

I lapped my 478 Northwood and the temps dropped, the heat spreader was SO not flat. It improved temps really good. I hear some people getting a temp drop of 7 to 10 degrees.
 
make that copper shine. much less awkward/far quicker process than lapping a heatsink, in my experience.
 
Give it the the smoothness it deserves! Your clocks will love you for it ;)
 

so damn hard to show its mirrorness my fingernails do a better job then the quarter :rolleyes:
 
quick questioon, how would u lapp the IHS without bending the pins

that heatspreader looks so cooooooool cool :cool:
