Yeah, seems like the sharp edged ones are flat :D Yey Intel!
what does oem stand for im about to order one for clubit since i tried tigerdierct but they canceled my order?? no clue why but i tried calling em there not open
like what is the diffrence between oem and retail?
OEM has very short warranty, comes with no fan. Get retail!Quote:

OEM doesnt come with the longer warrenty and no heatsink. Retail comes with a longer warrenty (3 years?) and a heatsink/fan.

About 15% of the IHS was making contact... that's it. Had you just taken a rice sized grain of AS5 and put it in the middle of the IHS, it's no surprise you'd get very high temperatures, as the AS5 would never even make it to the edges, were the contact is, and there'd be such a large gap in the center that thermal conductivity would be poor. Simply applying more pressure to try to flatten it doesn't work, you must lap it.
As I lapped downward, I also noticed that there were four raised areas near too but not at the edges, one in each corner. These are the last areas to go to copper when you are lapping. Eventually you will see 4 dots on your IHS.. nothing really special about it, just worth noting.
I hope all coolers cover the IHS entirely or they arent going to be conveying as much heat as they could, flat or not
can someone teach me or tell me what's the important thing to lap this IHS? like the sandpaper grade, precautions i should take..
and seriously, can i just lap at the edge since it is higher than the center?
my 6700ES = normal
6600ES = sharp
i have another question here.. for those who has flat IHS, is ur Coretemp and speedfan / motherboard software shows a same temp?
bcoz for me, i have 10c difference between CoreTemp and speedfan/easytuner..
please lmk temp difference between the 2 and more importantly any temp differences seen between oem/retail
my 2cents is OEM will have flatter heatspreader. I base this not of fact, but on intuition as OEM coolers in DELL, Compaq etc.. tend to be uber crap, ever moreso than Retail coolers. OEM customers like Dell etc... won't tolerate failures in any degree, so I think(again just supposition) that the OEM if anything will be superior clockers.
I have no facts to go on other than I have 6300 OEM and 6300 retail. OEM clocks on stock air to 3.1ghz at 1.3825v on Gig DS3 and is cool at 46c loaded. 6300Retail clocks to about same or just over, but on water and needs 1.4825v and runs mid to high 50's at load :O, on Biostar Tforce 965. Now this could be between boards, or w/e reason for differing clocks. But an interesting observation non-the-less.
thx
JNav89GT you can NOT compare how a chip clocks or compare temps unless you do it in the SAME SETUP. You are comparing apples to toaster ovens...
This is just like AMD 64 IHSs. I had enough opties to tell you there's a few kinds. There's the ones with very sharp edges that look like the corners are almost raised up, and there's the ones that look like the edges have been grinded down a bit.
Apparenntly it's the same with Intel IHSs.
My 6700 is pretty flat, "beveled" i think, gets great contact even unlapped :)
Two pages for this nonsense...
Just lap them all, beveled, sharp, whatever, who cares. Takes you a half hour and is WELL worth it. So easy even a monkey could do it.
Agreed.
Dont post if you've nothing to add. I've lapped more CPU's than I care to remember, that is NOT the point of this thread. Thanks for your useless comments :rolleyes:Quote:

Maybe the worker and the QC guy went out and got toasted the night before and let several thousand of them go out the door that way.
So is this way there seems to be a variety of Core 2 Duo temps? If I have to take that damn Ninja out of my case again...!!@#$%@#$%
I doubt this because the some ES's were like this. I think intel may be using a new kind of IHS that is a bit flatter. Maybe someone could call Intel and ask :rolleyes:Quote:

I have severe heatproblems with my E6600 Retail. I am suspecting a concave IHS. Tried with two different heatsinks (Zalman and the Boxed cooler). They appear to have only contact around the edges, looking at the imprint it has made in my cooling paste. Have 72°C @ stock vcore & speed, 100% load and boxed cooler.
Is the concave IHS a warranty issue? I will do a "whiteboard pen & paper" test on it later today I guess.
Only if its severly overheating. :slapass:Quote:

I have a 30º rise in temperature from idle to load too... Is that normal? I hardly doubt motherboards read temperatures more than ± 5º of what's really the temp. And a delta value shold be even more accurate?
If there is limited contact between the HS and IHS, it won't be hot at all you know, but your CPU would still be running very hot...Quote:
