When I started lapping, two narrow and long areas on the plate that were parallel to one another were positioned approximately over where cores 2 and 5 should be. It took alot is sanding to get it all level.

@Zinsco- I would suggest not using sleep/hibernate at all honestly... if you're using that fiction to save power... then simply turn the system completely off. I really don't hear much good things from having sleep/hibernate fictions turned on. Problems ranging from what your having to drives failing and so on. If you're going to be overclocking your system, I wouldn't waste time trying to get those to work.
Theres nothing wrong with using sleep - whatsoever.......just ensure your ram is good and OC in general.. HDD will NOT fail your OS will NOT become corrupt.. not unless you neglect stability.... !

Whats better than having a task running, knowing your pc will auto sleep when finished.. many hours work saved this way, not to mention electricity.

I'm @ 4.4 24/7 with the 960 utilising sleep.. sure i've had issues with sleep like many others but that was attributed to and confimed throughout other forums to be stability related and nothing more.
