Lapped core 2 duo IHS pics

celemine1Gig,

There are alot of other factors that may have affected the result of your study. have you taken into consideration the ambient temp, the amount of load and voltage that you put into the cpu before and after the lapping process? what sort of device or software did you use for this experiment of yours? because as what i have mentioned in my post earlier, on board monitoring sucks. and i say this, because i have used each and every software known to man,,,,, the whole nine yards of temp monitoring if i may call it - and i was unsuccessful. why? because they all rely on a diode, embedded on your motherboard, and temps may vary from board to board. asus being the most nasty.

do you know the difference in temperature reading i get from the on board crap versus the external temp device? you wont belive it.... 25 degrees! yes! and for TAT or coretemp to detect 75 degrees on full load, shouldn't my cpu be shutting down by itself already? i once did an experiment to check my thermal sensor accuracy, i ran my watercooled system and unplugged the water pump until it reached its maximum threshold of 70 degrees, and it never failed to shut down by itself each and everytime before or after reaching 70 Degrees.. This only goes to show that thermal specification of 70c degrees is indeed the maximum temperature at the maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) value that the processor can handle.

please go out of your way to get an external monitoring kit and post something to support or even give us a glimpse of what you have achieved. belive me, you'll thank me for it
