from the looks of the thermal paste after removing the heatsink, its easily said that the heatsink isnt "curved" enough to have a high pressure on every part of the proc.... aka, contact aint that good

i just lapped my e8400 and my Hyper 212 today.

will upload a new result on weekend........too bad i dont have a camera to snap the pic.


the proc wasnt to mirror like but close enough.
the grit use

400>600>800>1000>1500>2000

haha speaking of lapping ><.....my liquid kit (bigwater SE) actually had the same temps with freezer7pro lapped....sigh...i switched back to air...wanna sell this liquid kit

i would gladly do that if my mobo can fit...but currrently it seems like it cant fit and i dont have much time already nowadays for testing

i will see what i can do after i get the 1366 kit for CCF

go for custom watercooling yo....

the contact for the TRUE is good enuf... it covers all.... maybe its something to do with the way u apply ur tim.....


aiseh... rugi sia.... bagi la sikit pictah

hmm.... seems like bigwater really not that good like what i heard lol

relax bro.

wait for a couple of week then i can give u a pictar taken with a DSLR

tunggu my lil brother back from Penang.


but from what i can tell............its cooler by around 5'c max.

wow..your e8400 = oem?.....
if it is then i know why you dare to do it XD

btw you use dry or wet method? go use sabun with wet method ah?

lol i'm poisoned by these lapping technique will try out 1 day whn i have extra time to spend

i use those dry technique.

watch some videos on yotuube as a baseline.

and yes its OEM and thats why i do it

5C drop is really worth it to do the lapping.

lapping proc imo its dangerous to use the wet method. if a small drop of water slip into the circuit and not was not dried properly then you will end up with a dead proc

sadly that only apply on Prime..........LinX temp stayed at the same level..........i think its maybe bcoz the last time i run it.........it was on the 32bit os and now im running it on 64bit os.



but all and all im happy.

Added on March 5, 2009, 12:40 ami use the wet method on the heatsink otherwise the friction will always make the sand paper im using slipped.


its either that or my tape wasnt 'spidey' enough.

guys...which shop around KL sell delta or panaflo high CFM fan..?? before this, i try finding it at jalan pasar..but no shop sell those item..they sell only low CFM one..

lowyat should have them....else you can try searching in forums...i remember seeing some when i was searching for 40mm fans........

anyways..if youre planning on a 80mm one....you can get the vizo high CFM one which is quite windy and noisy as well (get a fan controller with it)


*oh yea...and i remember a shop in lowyat specialized in server stuff (a small shop in a corner)...they had an array of delta fans ,but they're rather pricey

im running a stress test rite now base on the same setting that i run for this database here.

here is the result



a 2'c drop while running Linx.

not bad for a RM10 job.

another result but this time with Prime95.

and its a 2'c drop on the 1st core and a 5'c drop on the 2nd.

too bad i dont have the old screenshot of the b4 lapping process.

mmmmm...temps are not bad..at par with my neighbor's Xigmatek S1283 at the same clocks...NICE ONE!

i think wan to lapped my ifx-14 also hmm


P/S:ham_revilo and tot31 is it u twin haha see u avatar

We're not twins lah... that penguin avatars you can download them...got many themes...Ok I just found out that my TRUE-120 is not the really secured/tight enough. I can still twist it. I found out that a washer mod need to be done on the TRUE to make it more tighten and the temp will decrease more....tomorrow I'll go out to find suitable washer.
