    Weird how the mobo temp went up.

    I only put 2 washers under the NB screws. The NB temp was the one thing I wanted to improve, as when benching with 1.50 vNB, I was idling at 51*C. Full load with 2 instances of windows memtest (this gets the NB hottest) is now ~46*C @ 1.30 vNB, before it was 52*C.

    I also lapped the removable block to make better contact with the copper block. i have some pics of it, sorry for bad quality my gf is away and has taken the camera, so I used my phone.

    Started lapping:


    Almost done lapping:


    Finished, almost mirror finish (used 1200 sandpaper):
