1st time lapping a cpu. Sanded to 400 down to 10 micron. Took about 4 hours to do the heat sink and the cpu.

  • hi m8, really enjoyed ure videos. could u tell me the song, or wat instrumental is it??? thanx

  • Its by Rick Ross - The Boss (instrumental). It also says at the end of the video. hehe

  • So what were the Load and Idle temp differences between not lapped cpu and cooler and lapped ones? Thinkin on lapping my E8500 (E8600) CPU tomorrow.

  • Truefully i can't remember exactly before but i do remember on OCCT test @ 2.8Ghz idle 49 load 73... now @ 3.0Ghz average idle 43 load 63 on OCCT... very pleased how it turned out...

  • Woow! Good JOB!

  • thats pretty sick specially when you were testing how flat it was and the heatsink picked it up.. i know the q6600 is old but i may lap mine and get a fan for it been using stock on normal settings and my temps are at 42c idle.... =/ seems bad though only thing i do heavy on it is load up wow.

  • do you use thermal paste? i just lapped my q6600 but i used as5 and i am seeing improvements over non lapped.

  • Thats smoooooooth baby

  • I've read in some forums that the Zalman heat sink is not as flat and has slight curves. I had time to wast so i just sanded down the heat sink also.

  • yeah that's why i wanted to ask

  • Think it has to do with the atoms binding, check up "johansson passbitar" for more info.

  • Really nice job!

    How come you lapped the Zalman heatsink too?

    Its already flat and has a mirror finish doesnt it?
