    to lap or not to lap that is the question ...

    To lap or not to lap that is the question, whether it is nobler ...
    OK - enough - so it has been suggested that I should lap my cpu to try to get better heat xfer.
    I am having 2nd thoughts about doing this because doing so voids the intel warranty (on a $1K processor!)
    The reason this was suggested was the load temps that I have been posting.
    So those of you that have an i7 under water - please take a look at the three screen captures below.
    All three are on water - the first is with everything at stock, the second is at 4.0 HT on and the third is at 4.2 HT on and at vcore of 1.55v.
    Can anyone confirm that these are inline with your experience or are they high for water?
