Lapped heatsink and CPU - 6400 Black edition, and Thermalright 120 extreme.

[dunlrock]

dude ur ruining the pins

[DemonAMVs]

@dunlrock My I5 has no pins, its a safe design.

[MrGeforcerFX]

@DemonAMVs except when stupid people install those wrong and crush the pins on the motherboard, its just as fragile design, but luckily a mobo is cheaper usually then a CPU, i have been fixing bent socket pins since LGA 775 was released.

[DemonAMVs]

@MrGeforcerFX Anyone who cannot install a CPU should not be anywhere near the interior of a PC. Installing the CPU is probably the easier components.

having fun? haha

[lewisu2088]

that its awesome, thanks for the vid

[phuturephunk]

Wow, you must have spent hours and hours on that, great job!

[danbertilsson]

lapping is nessesery when u reach the highest possible temp at the lowest stable voltage and u still need to oc more. water is not cooling the cpu fast enough.

[SeikoPsycho]

The 6400 runs so hot, I had no choice but to lap it this Summer!! It went up to 60C running Prime95 on the stock HSF w/ AS5!!! Lapping didn't make much of a difference so I had to get a Xigmatek HSF to get the temps down.

WTF!!! I wish I had gotten a 45nm CPU instead. I never use the computer cuz the CPU is so power-hungry.

[adeath13]

Obviously you need something to transfer the heat from the cpu to the heatsink base as both surfaces are good conductors of heat the cpu would just keep getting hotter.

[MrJohnnyOldschool]

I used a little Arctic Silver.

[adeath13]

Yeah, I switched to MX-2 because I wanted a non conductive material. I broke a gpu once because the AS5 got onto the pcb while cleaning up a heatsink...I get better temps with mx-2 also.

[Grolmag]

anyone testing Lapped heatsink and CPU WITHOUT themal interface? maybe it would be better.

[arni291]

i tried it. and it didnt work, cpu got hot and heatsink cold, thermalcompound is necessary

[popothecatathome]

lapping almost does nothing like maybee at the most 4c difference so dont worry about it too much

[MrJohnnyOldschool]

Lapping is only for the really hard core guys who want to get the lowest temperature possible.

[asxefv]

10 c for me what else ?xD

[Squirrelsteam]

If you have the resources you can use a real surface grinder with a soft metal wheel and get them so flat that you would break your heatspreader off your cpu trying to pry it off.

[Yamcha67]

I really wanna lap but im afraid i'll mess up =/

[asxefv]

if you follow the instructions you will not mess it up in fact you ll love this operation you ll see ^^

[mcsnakes]

What did you use to hide the pins i dont want to brake them!

[ludog014]

you use the shield that came with the processor when you bought it. if its a company built computer like dell or hp, then there is none unless you buy one

[brightfame88]

nice what are your idle load times

[brokenjohnny]

Check out the videos on my channel for the full specs. I do tests under idle and load with the fans on high, and on low respectively.

I average about 25-30 idle, and 40-45 load with the fans turned up. With the fans turned down, I get roughly 30-35 idle, and 45-50 load.

I only hit over 50 when I am running a graphically intensive game like Oblivion with my fans on their lowest setting.

But like I said, check out the other videos on my channel for a full gambit of tests and temps.

[dunlrock]

What did you use for getting load temps? Use prime95 smallFFT test to the MAXIMUM temps. u cant get any higher than temps from smallFFT

[brokenjohnny]

It's about air pressure. The same effect can be had by placing a playing card over top of a glass completely full of water. If you hold your hand on the card, and turn the glass upside down, the card will stick, holding in the water.

[Born2killx]

Hmm, thanks for teaching me something new about sticky air and stuff. :P

[brokenjohnny]

It's a AMD 6400 Black edition. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten a chance to test it out yet, because I bricked my motherboard during a bios update crash, and had to RMA it to Asus to get it fixed. It should be back any day now, and I'll post my temperatures on the description for the video.

[qwertymac93]

lol, its been 5 months and still no update, howbout that!

[brokenjohnny]

I know, I know. *laughs* BUT, if you check out my channel now, you will see four new videos which I uploaded last night.

[worshipme213]

I lapped my Q6600 and OCZ Vendetta. 5c to 10c cooler depending on the cores. What CPU is that exactly? Looks like a Phenom or a 64 X2.
