Lapped core 2 duo IHS pics

Yeah I know that the AS5 I have between the cpu and cooler needs to cure to get the best results. I would not say my cpu is cool, 45 at idle and hitting 70 at load (I think this is way more than it should be...). That is at 3.0GHz and 1.344 vcore. I have thought about it too that what if the cpu's hs got lowered and there's not enough pressure between the cpu and the boxed cooler?

E6600@3,6Ghz@1,35V



I got about 5°C lower Temp.@full load
i lap with 3µm Polishp.

What kind of cooler are you using? 70ºC is a temperature NO Core-based CPU should hit... Well, I'm being over-confident, I know. But 70ºC on a 3GHz 2160 still seems a lot... Unless, of course, you're using the stock cooler, which is clearly not made for high heat outputs... You need either a non-21x0 stock cooler (you can tell by the copper center, which the 21x0 coolers don't have) or something more "after-market".

Apart from that, I'm lost. I'm not much of an OC'er, so there can be other factors at work I son't know about...

Cheers.

The e21xx chips arent soldered to the IHS... That could explain high temps.

I have thought about removing the IHS too. That should be easy cos the IHS isn't soldered to the core as you said. I'm using the copper core boxed cooler which should be better than the stock all aluminum one but seems like not I have already ordered a new cooler (Tuniq tower) but the shop doesn't have it at stock so I don't know how long I have to wait for it...
