I started at 8pm, minus dinner, surf surf lowyat.net, curi-curi watching movie,finished at 4:59am

I dont know why most of the guides say that removing the nickel coating needs around 45 mins - 1 hour but mine took like 3hours only started showing copper. I started with 100 grit somemore. Guess that I was too careful and slowly lap that's why took so long

Not gonna continue my project la tonite I guess, after bathe feel like damn syiok sleeping hehe.

p/s: hope to get the same figure like the previous owner

SIAO !~ btw i wan to do so ! but after 1-2 years first == anyway where to get those lapping tools?how much estimation?

If you wanna SIAO as well, just go from grid 200-->800-->1200 will do, just wanna make sure the IHS is flat....
I spent about 30 to 40min with this method.

If wanna a mirror-like effect then ask bro mizivincible

Haih wanna sleep but ada phone call pulak then chatting chatting.

Anyway bro, haha, it really needs lotsa patience, but after you see the temp drop you will

About lapping tool, you dont really need tools. Here's what you need -

1.Different grit of sandpaper
2.masking tape
3.piece of mirror or glass ( to mount the sandpaper on flat surface, thats why we choose glass or mirror )
4.elbow grease
5.patience
6.time
7.Autosol for superb finishing

The sandpaper I bought from 100grit,120grit,300,400,600,800,1000,1200,1500,200. RM1 each. Masking tape at rm2.50. Should be around rm10 only. Autosol you can buy and polish any metal,copper, aluminum to give fine finishing.

For certain ppl the temp drop wasnt so important, but im sure we as overclockers very very care about our temp right

Yes actually the most important thing in lapping is to make sure the surface is totally flat so that it can fully contact with heatsink thus dissipate heat better. The mirror finish is for stylish la i guess

bro, this is my 2nd lap proc as well....1st one during Celeron 400
My purpose is just wanna make sure the IHS surface is >95% flat (hope with grit 1200 I may achieve lah)

Bro -PWS- here's an update on mine just got tweak a bit from 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz here's the screen shot....


Attached thumbnail(s)

that's hell of voltage to do a 2.5GHz bro... may i know what's batch is that?

I would say that it is normal Vcore for F2.

-pWs-

my nfs 3800+ f2 need 1.36V @ 2.5GHz (i already ), with 1.5V, my ex 3600+ f2 can do 2.7GHz @ w 1.4xV, that's i found it quite high to my standard. guess i've not playin w f2 as much as u guys then...


x2 3600+ @ 2.6GHz
x2 3600+ @ 2.7GHz

dun have d nfs 3800+ ss w me now...

@fuzore
tat vcore is quite high for 2.5g... i do my 4200 to 2.5g only use 1.25 stock vcore...if 250fsb x 11x 2.75g only use 1.3 vcore

wat's d stock speed for 4200+ bro?

edited: just realize it's 2200MHz, tak aci, it's ledi pre overclocked 200MHz more...

my 4200 stock vcore is 1.25 (1.2 oso can if stock speed )
tat y i say 250 x 11x = 2.75g just nid 1.3 vcore
to compare with
3800 250 x 10 = 2.5g

they gosok hard....u gosok soft...if not mistaken i took less than an hour but hands damn tired

Is it?
My 38 F2 last time also need very high Vcore. Maybe due to lowya ram.

-pWs-
