Re the CPU - might be worth doing a razor test on the IHS before lapping cos if its not concave you probably wont gain much from lapping it. I had the same thought but mines flat. That way you dont waste your time , have aching wrists and have its resale value as new-lol!.
I had the foresight to check my CPU and heatsink with a razor before installing. Both parts weren't flat, so I'll probably do some sanding work eventually. The funny thing is, I threw this box together quickly, and just used Thermalright's paste (yes I have some AS-5) without even properly cleaning the CPU, and it runs at 3600 mhz @ 1.38v at 43c idle. Not a shabby CPU! I imagine once I lapp the parts I may see another 5c drop.
