Absolutely no problemo. I know what you are talking about. I used to lack enough sleep for years, some time ago. Strange things happen if you need sleep, but then you just force your body to stay awake.
And BTW, my answer wasn't very polite, too. Sorry about that! I'm also a bit stressed out ATM, due to exams every few days.
IMHO bottom line to the topic is:
- CPU should be absolutely fine
- thermal transfer shouldn't be hindered by the small discoloration
- for the good feeling and the certainty it still can't hurt to just relap it
- as it is already flat, lapping will only take a minute anyway
- and last but not least, let's all thank the guy who came up with the idea of the shutdown temp for CPUs

lol im not botherd about how it looks i was just wondering if lapping would get rid of it the colours..
i want to try and bring them temps down a bit

Yep, if you lap it again, you will get rid of the discoloration in no time. It's just a very thin layer on the surface. A minute and the CPU will look nice and shiny again as if nothing ever hapened. For the temps though, it won't help. The oxidation (or whatever it really is) is too thin to cause really bad temps. If you still have bad temps with a lapped IHS and a flat heatsink/waterblock base, then your only option is to remove the IHS to get even better thermal transfer, eliminating one thermal resistance (between IHS and CPU-DIE).
Thx man, I really appreciate it.
