Originally, I was to title this thread as "E6300 lapping results" or "The worst conroe IHS ever" or something equally cheeky. However, as will be described later, I figured Waterblocksplosion is a much nicer choice.
Anyways, I decided to lap my E6300 CPU as it was so convex that it actually damaged my waterblock at the corners!
I have VERY few pictures of the process, but I don't believe they're needed. I'm a results oriented person, so results I shall share!
Before temps were the aggregate mean between 50 tests over a 5 minute period. Idle results were done the same, but taken after the computer had been sitting for 30 minutes.
Room temperature at time of measurement: 31.4c (holy shit)
Average Idle temperature before lap: 44c
Average Load Temperature before lap: 57c
Yes, that's right. 57 freakin degrees celcius under load. I should stress that I have an *all day sun facing* window, which really heats things up in here (31.4c at time of temperature reading).
Now for the temperature after the lap:
wait a minute here... Hold up. What the hell was that massive shattering noise inside my case? *peers inside my nice new Lian-Li side panel* holy shit! The Acrylic top on my TDX decided it would shatter into 7 lovely pieces. Way to go DD.
I'm most pissed off that the new Fuzion waterblock I'm ordering will impede my scientific curiosity... I cant do a direct comparison of before and after temps now... But, such is life I guess. Hopefully I get the block tomorrow or friday, and I'll update this post then
Cliffs:
Don't buy an acrylic topped waterblock if you can help it
