Lapped core 2 duo IHS pics

[Angelico_Payne]

Lapping is really extreme of extreme... but if u get results go for it, just be carefull...

You can do wet or dry, depending on how long Taffer keeps his avatar IoI

But aside from joking, its a personal thing , some are more comfortable with dry some with wet lapping, and i dont think u can dammage your CPU if u let it dry sufficient enough...

I wet lapped mine and if you take precautions like having a towel nearby and tapping the cpu on it after every couple of turns you'll be just fine.

Well, I lapped my 6400 with great results, gained another 200MHz stable, and about 8-12c cooler at 1.5v, also stabilized the cores running at different temps, also lapped my HSF.. AS5 worked allright with it I think, and hmmmm... yea, wet sanding the whole way, DON"T worry about getting it wet, just make sure its dry before you turn it on, I waited a day, my bro used a hair dryer...

And Taffer, that damn avatar is driving me insane... my gf called in to me at work, and I just couldn't pay attention to what she was telling me.

Sorry for the long delay in replying I was distracted by my avatar

I don't exactly know where I pulled the image from, but I was Googling some sites with avatar as the subject. I'm a leg and butt man for the most part, but a stomach like that... deserves an award

Does anyone find it offensive? I had one person request that I remove it and put up something a little more computer geeky. I hope you all do not mind that I never found the time to anwser his request.

I've got a degree in computer electronics technology and 99.9% of the time, water will not hurt electronics at all, so long as they are not under power while wet. If you dry them thoroughly first, you should be fine. The same goes for cell phones...if you drop one in water, remove the battery ASAP and let it dry. I would try my best to keep water off of the contacts (and use the black plastic that covers the contacts as well) anyway just to save the hassle of cleaning them, but some good, high percentage alcohol (Johnny Walker & Jim Beam etc. do not count) should clean it up nicely. Just be sure to use some form of lint free cloth if you do, and pat it dry instead of wiping just to be sure you don't snag the edge of a contact and ruin your day. Always better safe than sorry.



Oh, the cell phone tip...there is a white indicator near the battery that turns pink or red if you get it wet...so there is no need to lie and say it did not get wet, the proof is there. The last time I did that was winter so I hung it on my car vent, turned the heat all the way up and turned on the AC to lower the humidity to allow for faster evaporation. Worked like a champ.
