It's so easy, it's easy. When I first saw the copper i got nervous, until I remembered there's no way you could just lap through to the core. of course you'd see the thermal paste before you hit the core, but stranger things. I'm so silly. Anyway they must coat the IHS just so they can laser in the codes? I guess you wouldn't see it in copper, but i wonder if there's another reason it's coated? I think it's a coat of aluminum powder they put on it? Next I'm removing the IHS, I was going to do it, but decided to lap first. I wonder after removing the IHS if the SLK900U would be too heavy to place on there? Eeven with the more secure mounting system, which is much safer then a retention clip method, there may be shifting weight during installation which could crack the core.
I was concerned about static electricity, when lapping but cleaning with the alcohol frequently seemed to ameliorate any static build-up sinec the chip not only runs cooler, but runs period. Of course not having a wool carpet (or any) and not wearing wool is advisable as well. LOL
