Lapping QX9650 Project (and max OC on air)

[_MD_]

I've seen a couple of threads about people wanting to lap QX9650, but didn't see any pics, so decided to lap mine (along with TRUE) and post some pix for everyone to enjoy. Plus would like to share my max OC of the processor on air.




Let's roll!


Getting ready to lap. Grit from left to right: 400, 800, 1000, 2000, 2500


400


800


1000


2000


2500


And now the QX9650 (L739A731)



400


800


1000


2000


2500


The job well done


Mirror finish 1


Mirror finish 2



Results:

In all cases, the setup was left for 12h idle and 3x 1024M tests in wPrime
*Note, the cpu is running at 4.2GHz


Didn't bother doing Shin Etsu since it proved to be not as good as AS5... (*typo)
Also to note about AS5 load -> Real temp 2.21 showed 53°, Asus Probe 2 showed 55°.
So I took the average of the two.



With the temps lowered a bit, I was able to beat my previous record of 4.55GHz and reached 4.7GHz on air!!!






And of course, CPU-Z Verified.






Yep, so that was my little QX9650 project.
