took the advice of some on here and went to walmart and got some mothers mag and chrome polish and worked good. could have gotten it a little shiner if i had some finer grain sandpaper to work with.

just did a run last night, will see if i can do better now, temps are a little high becuase of high ambient temps...

hey, close all that stuff on your desktop so we can check out your girlfriend !!!! :D

I haven't lapped the IHS on anything in a while, usually just yank the IHS off. I just got the TT Big Typhoon today and might give it a lapping though, its a little on the unfinished side if you ask me.

u shouldnt have used chrome polish or any polish or finisher for that matter, they will inhibit the transfer of heat making your lapping efforts almost useless. :nono:

simple, after done shining it up just give it a good scrub a few times with some cotton balls and rubbing alcohol will take all the polish off...

i suggest u relap it a bit since its gonna be impossible to get all of it out on a microscopic level(uve filled in the microscopic gaps with this polish just like a thermalpaste is supposed to but its gonna be real hard to get it out, just like how u prep a heatsink with as5, its near impossible to get the grey out of the base without relapping)

daddy_fizz, how about some results ! ;)


Just as a note, I've found that Ceramique works better than AS5 on finely lapped surfaces.

well haven't done too much with it. i was able to drop the voltage in the bios and still maintain the same overclock. voltage reads about 1.46 or so in windows @2800mhz. I might be able to squeeze a little more out of it but i have a feeling that i am near the top of my chips limits without going to water cooling or something. i'll try putting 1.6 through it and see if i can get 2900 stable :) kind of wierd how you got to pump so much to get that last little bit....
