Lapping Q6600

[laydback]

I lapped my CPU and installed a D-Tek Fuzion (from a regular Apogee) and my temps improved a little bit, but now I can't even come close to the overclock I had before. Any ideas???

I did notice that the mounting hardware for my D-Tek fuzion seems to be bowing my motherboard a little bit, do you think a backplate would help? I do beleive im getting a good spread cause when I remove the block, I can remove the retention plate and the block actually stays attached, a little twist and it comes off.

I did remove the NB/SB heatpipe to clean the stock putty and apply AS5. temps went down about 3 deg there. I honestly don't think that's the issue though.

@ deathspine - nightmare with the cpu not firing, care must be exercised at all times, glad it was sorted (and your not forced to buy another cpu). also those are excellent temps for 3.6ghz, would love to get mine upto 400x9 but it's not stable. i was getting 19 degrees idle @ stock and 25 @ 3.2ghz but your load temps there are better than mine and your running 400mhz faster. im jealous!

@ laydback - back plate should help but i have no idea why its not clocking anymore. when i took my cpu out the bios settings reverted to defaults because it claimed i put a new processor in!! perhaps the same has happened with you and your overlooking a setting? hopefully thats all it is
