    It sits there between the CPU and the Heatsink. It just doesn't optimize thermal contact because it doesn't fill in all the grooves.

    Bottom line, don't use extremely fine paper.

    Nope, I have no idea. You will still have to start from coarse paper though.

    Never lapped anything. I understand the general concept and I've seen the procedure.


    Don't lap your CPU BTW! You will ruin the warranty.

    but the cpu is only worth 60 bucks (e6300) on ebay so i wont lose much
    i doubt i will ever use the warranty anyways...
    i will lap my cooler first and see if i still need to lap the cpu
    thanks,

    Yeah it should help because then you have a nice flat surface on both sides.

    Unfortunately I have a Quad core and I can't risk it :(

    haha
    yea
    but the quads need lapping badly
    my quad is also extremely concave but i dont have the guts to put it on sandpaper... thats why its running stock right now,
    no contact = no oc
    maybe when the nehalem comes out (major price drop for current cpus, actually pretty much all older cpus will be worthless), we shall try it on our quads... btw what quad do you have? i have a q6600 G0

    I'm definitely gonna lap my Freezer 7 Pro. Maybe I'll call intel and tell them my CPU ain't working. After I get my replacement then, well it's a new CPU. I don't really have to worry about anything at that point and I can go ahead and lap it.
