Posted this over in the Intel section, but maybe somebody here can shed some light.
I'm running a QX6700 and was having terrible temps, They were uneven, and very high. There was a 10 degree difference between the cores. And yes, I tried several mounts, nothing could even out the temps, or lower them.
So I lapped my cpu. I think it turned out very well. The temps dropped 5 degrees by lapping, and the cores got much closer. There is now a 5 degree difference between cores 0-1 and 2-3. Under load it's 56-56-51-51 (respectively).
Did I leave too much material on cores 0-1? Could that be what's causing the differences?
Is this the correct orientation of the cores?
