Already did. No effect. :(

LMAO!!! Hadn't heard that one yet, but I suppose that there is probably a good .020 to .030 worth of plastic there before hitting anything that would affect the cam mechinisim.

Just glad I don't...

I didn't remove the IHS when I lapped it, just held it with the plastic clamshell that the processor came in with the piece of foam double back foam taped inside so it wouldnt keep falling out.

One thing you want to check after you get it remounted is to make damned certain your heatsink doesn't hit the zif socket at the cam block, I got lucky in the fact that mine didn't but different...

Kicked it up a notch.

1.625 250x11 for 2750 1:1 with ram, backed off the ram timings to 10,4,4,3 for now and will dial it back up later, temps very very similar to yours.

New temps,...

1.50 Vcore 236x11 for 2600 MHz, ram is 4x512 sticks of corsair 1:1 @ 2.9 Vdimm, Northbridge is at 1.8 volts. 7900 GS 575/730. and a buch of other stuff.

Those temps look damn near identical to mine (crosses fingers for another 200 MHz).

Went the extra mile with that IHS I see lol.

Did quite a bit of reading before I lapped mine and found out...

They started soldering the IHS down? I know Intel was doing that, didn't know the new AM2's were.

Ok hwg, not going to put them inline cause I'll probably get :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ed at so just clicky ;)

Can see the two green strips of SATA cable i put under each side of the...

I had forgotten that I actually turned off my radiator fan and main system fan to get the temps up faster, temp drop is more like 15C and that should increase even further once the AS5 has had a...

Decided to check out that theroy for certain.

Didn't have any way of machining out a proper metal spacer to increase the core tension more, so I did the next best thing, I dug into my MR Yacknfutz...

I didn't feel like runnig down to the 24 hour wallgreens just to pick up a 59 cent razor blade at 6:00 AM this morning :P. So, I made do with what I had on hand, it worked out better than I could...

Allright, here's the pics, rather large so didn't want to put them inline so just clicky.

The victim, Athlon X2 4200+ 236x11 for 2600 MHz 1.525 Vcore (allready previously lapped the IHS with 0...

Just popped the IHS on my X2 4200

All I can say is

DDD

(didn't do :banana::banana::banana::banana:)

Temps nearly identical to previous readings using Core Temp. Which means I allready had...
