lapped by Q6600 today

Please start a new discussion about CPU warranties or something. This thread is about lapping quad cores and temps that result.

Thanks

One tip, btw. You can get incredibly flat "Float Glass" through numerous woodworking stores. Great for the "ScarySharp" method of honing chisels and plane irons. I think Garrett Wade sells it for about $40 USD. It is flatter than standard plate glass, (though it may not make a huge diff to many.)

LOL, are these all the same people who have never downloaded a single file illegally.

Well, since no one else said anything, and I'm feeling like an idiot, you must be pretty slow to get lapped by an inanimate object such as your q6600....

BTW, I finished lapping the IHS on the chip w/ 1000 grit sandpaper. Pics and temp data results are here.

How many honest people do you think there are? lol


This is exactly the same as the sticker inside the Dodge Viper that says something along the lines, "drive carefully." Responses to both situations go as one: Do you think anyone will take that seriously?

good point ... i wouldnt lapp my cpu simply b/c u WILL HAVE MUCH LESS of chance to rma it ...

lets see which one intel will let u rma
1. lapped un-overclocked cpu
2. overclocked cpu but not physical damage

... the problem with lapping is taht intel can and will alwyas blame the cpu's failure on that ...

thats why i use coollab pro ... it beats my arctic cremiz, alumina by about 6C both idle and load ...

Eh? One of the most stupid comparisons I've seen on here.. exactly how many people buy Dodge Vipers/Ferraris/Jaguars etc etc then go around crashing them?? I'm pretty sure most of the people who buy them will drive safely..
