I understand why you would lap the CPU cooler. I have seen some real ruff ones. But, would not a very thin application of some good thermal compound do the same thing on the CPU? I do it with a razor. takes a little time to break in but, I think it works. I did not know that CPU were that tough. If they can stand a good lapping. I always treated then as being fragile. But sine the removal of the pins, I have not been so careful with them.

Hans, I purchased a P35 NEO-2 FR and am installing it soon. Your approval of it had an influence on my decision. In fact, I would not even looked in to it, if it was not for your posts. Other than the 4 phase power, ( but it does not appear that you are having any problems with that) it seems like a good deal. I had a few MSI products before.

I have an 8 phase power with the P5B-D. And, it has the greatest Vdroop I have ever seen on a performance motherboard.
